Default My first red beans & rice

....that I've made from scratch.

I'm not a big rice fan, but love beans. So, to stretch that limited
income dollar, I'm making red beans and rice. So we don't get off on
another stupid red vs kidney bean tangent, I bought and used beans
labeled "red kidney beans". 'nuff said....

I'm using chuck tagart's recipe from the gumbo pages. All this time I
thought he was a working chef. I was wrong. He's a freakin' disc
jockey and wannabe southern gentleman. In short, a flim-flam man! Oh
well, I've always found his recipes to be excellent, so I went with it.

I had some andouille sausage, but discovered they were a)
turkey/chicken shit, and b) spoiled, after only two days outta the
freezer. Nevermind. I hate chicken/turkey based faux crap meat,
anyway.

I had a big ol' ham hock and all fresh trinity veggies, so that's
good. I also had some leftover elk summer sausage, which is very
flavorful. I added that instead of andouille, which I can't do-ie, cuz
I un-douilled it into the trash.

I got about 2 hrs of simmer time left, then will put in fridge till
tomorrow when I cook up some long grain white rice and give 'er a try.
I'll get back to y'all on the 'morrow.
