November 12
This was to be a slow day. We got up, drank coffee\tea. David walked into the garage and saw his tire on his bike. There was metal showing through the side wall of his front tire. There went the day and $200.00. Good thing today? I went to Freebirds for the first time. Very delish. Supper? Homemade chex mix!

Negative Red Beans & Rice
1 package favorite sausage (I like Andoulille)
1 cup HEB red rice
2 cans great northern beans
1 T Adams Reserve Cajun Trinity
1 T Adams Reserve Cajun Rub
2 cups chicken broth
In a medium pot combine chicken broth and Cajun Trinity, bring to a boil, when boiling add red rice and turn down heat to a simmer and cover with a lid. Simmer rice for 15 - 20 minutes, it will take longer than white rice. While you wait dice your sausage and drain ONE of the cans of beans. When rice is done combine in the same pot the Cajun rub, both cans of beans and your sausage. Bring to a quick boil, remove from heat and let rest for 3 - 5 minutes before serving.
Enjoy!
