It had been a while since the buttas have been able to get together and last night we were reunited over some red beans and rice!
Be looking for the great & simple recipe that will be a must have "to-go" recipe!
Last night - we reunited over great conversation, learning about Louisiana traditions from Mama Butta, talking about the recent election, putting ideas together for a Thanksgiving meal with guests, and ending the night laughing at Modern Family while ate a delicious apple crisp with vanilla icecream!
A little history/culture lesson:
Mama Butta explained that when she was growing up in Louisiana, it was a tradition to have red beans and rice on Mondays. Because Monday was laundry day - it was easy to have your red beans and rice cookin' away while laundry and other chores were being done. Mama B even said that he would have it at school for lunch on Mondays and still remembers it fondly! Check out this link to read more about Louisiana traditions!
We then got to talking about cultural traditions and how each one of us had a comfort food that we thought of when we thought about home; we were so thankful that Mama B shared hers with us!!
In the line of traditions - we decided we would bring our favorite Thanksgiving dish and invite a guest to come join the butta clan in two weeks! Can't wait to sample everyone's favorites!
As soon as I get them - I'll post the recipe and the pictures!
Enjoy your rainy Thursday! :)
