Don't eat the entire pot in one sitting!

I like red beans & rice but also black beans & rice (same seasonings,
loosely based on Paul Prudhomme's). I plan to make that again soon as I
have some andouille sausage in the freezer. I like to make cornsticks
or cornbread to go with it. A pot of red beans & rice or black beans &
rice lasts several days here. It also freezes well, as does the
cornbread or cornsticks.
