I want to make this recipe but find the ending confusing. What do you mean under the title Jambalaya mix about the ingredients listed "pour into cellophane bag"??????? To do what with the cellophane bag? I'm sorry you don't take time to read what your authors write!

With the Jambalaya, (I just love yours!) I always add a bit of coconutcream to fluff it up and keep it spicey but with a soft aftertaste smile
