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?
