Â* As in red beans and rice . Got the beans and spices simmerin' on the stove as I type , my grandson says it's starting to smell pretty good in here ... it's really going to start smelling good when I add the sausage at 6:30 or so ! To Bwoosey I say : PPPHHHHTTTTT ! To the rest , I'll let you know how it turns out . I made 2 modifications to the recipe I posted the link to . Green peppers give me terminal heartburn so I left them out (yeah yeah I know , holy trinity of Cajun cooking) and I used some home grown dried cayenne instead of powdered . I do wish that green peppers didn't affect me that way , they add a very distinctive flavor . -- Snag Yes , I'm old and crochety - and armed . Get outta my woods ! |

Are you telling us that you don't eat cinnamon buns. gingerbread, eggnog, any ethnic foods, not even tube steak or sawseege... no mustard in your pantry? I suppose at your house Chinese food is poached pork... yoose must be the life of the party... how do yoose celebrate New Year's Eve, suck ice! LOL You claim to cook therefore you must have a spice cabinet. I'll admit that I cook chili without hot pepper but I have a collection of pepper sauce for guests to choose from, some incendiary. I don't like hot pepper but I do enjoy some foods with horseraddish and horseraddish can be more awe inspiring than the hottest peppers. |
