So Monday is the traditional day to make Red Beans and Rice, if you are from New Orleans, which I am. The tradition came from the days when the ladies would wash clothes on Monday so put on a pot of beans to cook over many hours requiring little further attention during the day. Works for me! Tonight New Orleans Saints play Miami and both teams are tied 7-7. I now live near Miami and adopt the Dolphins except when they play New Orleans, of course! Unfortunately New Orleans is on their 3rd or 4th string quarterback, so I don't have high hopes. But I will be enjoying a tasty plate of red beans and rice with smoked pork and sausage! Cheers!
