Last year, Janice cooked Christmas dinner for my office. She prepared her famous Chicken and sausage gumbo. Janice is an excellent cook, and her gumbo is so good it'll give you goosebumps.

Today, the women in my office were discussing that gumbo. The topic comes up often, almost a year later. Pat said that she had started using Janice's secret ingredient, and now all of her friends use it too and swear by it. The ingredient? Salsa... right out of the jar. One day Janice was cooking her gumbo when she noticed that her recipe had many of the same ingredients as salsa. Figuring it was worth a try, she experimented. She added salsa right out of the jar. Well, she made the best gumbo anyone has ever had.

I tell you this because the "secret ingredient" is catching on. At this rate, all of Louisiana will be adding salsa to their gumbo within a year or two. I just wanted to document that Janice did it first.
