Thank you for the very warm welcome. Thank you too for your kind words of encouragement and support.
The French word gombo is quite similar to the dish I mentioned - gumbo which uses okra as one of the ingredients. Maybe the word gumbo is French in origin that was used by the Americans later.
Will definitely be seeing more of you here in your challenge. Meanwhile, have a beautiful and rejuvenating vacation and see you on the 27th.
