I have a nice pot of vegetarian red beans and rice (that traditional Thanksgiving food) simmering on the stove for the potluck our cooperative houses are having tonight ( Read more... )

I just hope the beans cook down in time - we're getting together in 2 hours.

I'm really not much of a cook, but I'm trying to learn a bit.

It really does sound good... but I would probably leave out the chipolte.

It's for giving it a smoky flavor since I'm not using pork. It worked pretty well, though it also prolongs the spicy feeling on your tongue.

(but I don't eat pork, so I wouldn't miss the flavor. *wink*)

Right. Well, I also like the spicy. ;-)

Ya know what's good for a smoky flavor - there's this stuff called "liquid smoke." No meat involved. A little goes a long way.

Yeah I just didn't have any so I used the chipolte peppers. I'll get some of that stuff sometime, I've heard it works really well.

Damn that does sound good.
