A Typical Monday in New Orleans--Laundry, Beans and Rice
Louise is over and did her laundry today--as is (was) traditional on Mondays in NOLA. And so it was fitting we had beans and rice, which was also, traditionally, served on Mondays. In this case, Great Northern beans with a big old shank end of a smoked pork shoulder and some leftover rinds of Parmesan. For some unknown reason (Doh!), I cooked them with way too much water, so I drained them and reserved the liquid and just added back an appropriate amount. I decided to freeze the leftover liquid for another batch of beans--it's very rich and hammy from all the smoked pork.
That, and arugula dressed with lemon, olive oil, S&P, was dinner.
