Day 57

What's on the menu:

Red beans and rice

2 lbs. dried red kidney beans, soaked overnight (I used 1 lb)
1 lg. green pepper, chopped
1 TB cayenne pepper
2 to 3 ribs celery, chopped
1 lg onion, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
2 TB salt
1 link smoked sausage, cut into 1/2 slices
Black pepper to taste

Pour off soaking water and add new water to beans. Add onions, garlic, celery, pepper, salt, black pepper and cook down to 1-1/2 to 2 hours. Simmering. Add sausage and keep covered with water and cook for another 1-1/2 hours. Serve with rice and hot sauce.

This recipe came from my Aunt Mable's church cookbook.

To my blog folks, I will probably be going off blog time in about another week. I have shared about two months of menus and recipes. I do hope you have enjoyed them as much as I have enjoyed sharing them with you.
This blog idea came to me about two months ago when my Red Hat group went to see the movie Julia and Julie. So I thought I'd give it a try and see what happened.
I will start my Christmas shopping in about a week. In December I do my cookie bouquets, candy boxes, cookie and candy trays, etc. So I stay very busy the month of November and December.
I usually have lots of frozen meals already in the freezer and pull them out at this time.
I may come back on after Christmas but not sure.
So to all who have followed my blog, I thank you.
