Yes and Yes....the roux in the recipe is what I would call a "blonde" roux. It's really not solid...just thick like.... hmmmmm peanut butter maybe.

Enjoy!
 
A roux should have the consistency of wet sand. It will still work if it's a bit more solid or liquid, but you're looking for the type of wet sand where you'd pick up the sand, hold it in your fist and it would keep that shape when you let go. The white/blonde/brown part is just how long you cook it for.
