I gotta agree with Orlando on this one. How hard would it be to remove
the silly garnish? Its doubtful that it affected the flavor to any
negative degree.

Miz Anne only cooks when I'm to sick to do so. I serve the beans atop
the rice and then we mix them up with some homemade hot sauce, freshly
ground black pepper, and, quite often, finely diced onion. I think every
cook around here has their own recipe.

Some friends have a tailor shop, specializing in Nomex clothing for the
local refineries and chemical plants. I helped them cook a 42 gallon pot
of red beans the other day to feed one of their customers. Big old pot
of rice to go with it. We put about 15 lbs of andouille in the pot with
the beans, lots of onion, bell pepper, and celery. I learned to cook red
beans and rice their way at their house about twenty years ago. Their
last name is Hebert, no, no, not like He bert, it's A Bear. Definitely
24 carat Cajun the two of them.

I nearly got sick at one meal, they had chicken and sausage gumbo and a
side of potato salad. I was the only one there who didn't pick up the
bowl of potato salad and dump it into their gumbo. In addition they had
put shelled boiled eggs into the gumbo and made sure everyone got one. I
was raised thirty miles from where I live now in Louisiana but in Texas,
never saw that before but ate it anyway and didn't much care for the
blending of flavors. I guess foods are a matter of choice and the way
you were taught to eat them.

Is that the main course? What's a typical side?
What are the critical components?

Pinto beans and rice, both government commodities, were served twice a
week in the Texas elementary and high schools I went to in the forties
and fifties. That and those cafeteria rolls I still crave today. Luckily
the local school system makes them the same way so I eat lunch with my
school teacher wife at least once a week.

I want to second this tip. I find that a nice smoked paprika does wonders
for a vegetarian pot-o-beans. Try it with pintos as pot beans.
Definitely adds a richness of flavor. Chipotle can be a bit spicier than
I want in the dish.

ObRB&R: when I am jonesing for a quick fix, I go to Popeye's Chicken and
hold the chicken.
