Outside the dugout: What's cooking?

Take out from Popeye's tonight. The Family Festive Box.

My latest interest is Rice and Beans.

How do you guys do yours?

I picked up some red beans and was going to try those with some jasmine rice.

 

The red beans and rice are plenty good-the black beans and rice have a little more flavor or zing to them to us.

 

Well....I think I got it figured out. Emphasis placed more on the bean preparation than the rice. Beans are cooked with additional ingredients like onions, celery, green pepper, water, and spices.

I will be adding some sausage too - for one variation.

Rice is just cooked as normal.

Serve with cornbread.

And Bob's your uncle!

 

We’ve got a new family owned Cajun restaurant in town. Its name is The Cajun Menu. We are trying it out tonight.

The only complaint we have heard is when they are busy they can run out of menu items. We have not heard anything negative about the food itself.

Life is good in Gator Nation!
