Starbucks 'Trenta': How The New Size Compares To Your Stomach
Famous Death Row Last Meals
To the beanpole dames in the magazines: You ain't it, Miss Thing!
Give me a sister, I can't resist her.
Red beans and rice didn't miss her!
The extent of my experience with red beans and rice is relegated to the world of Sir Mix-A-Lot and "Baby Got Back." (And Jonathan Coulton, although Richard Cheese, sadly neglects the red beans and rice part of the tune. Anyhow...) No in-person glimpses. No savory smells. No taste.
But I really think that needs to change, especially after seeing Simply Recipes' new post on Red Beans and Rice. I admit it -- I'm writing this post because Elise's post sent me into a flurry of Mix-A-Lot nostalgia, but I'm also salivating. I've never been so attracted to a plate of beans before. I might just have to brave the below-zero weather and get me some ham shanks tomorrow. And maybe some bigger underwear if this leads me to Sir Mix-A-Lot land.
Are there any red beans and rice recipes you go nuts for?

Gah.. I should've checked my mp3 and not a few YouTube videos. Thanks for the heads up!
.. and why isn't red beans and rice good enough for live performances?

d'Artagnon andouille is mandatory. (d'Artagnon makes by far the best I can get here in the Northeast--it's incredibly delicious). And I add a bay leaf and touch of ground toasted cumin, too.
And serve it with a coarse cornbread.
Actually this would be great food for this horribly cold weather.
