I'm making red beans and rice. I've been wanting some for a while now and I have some sausage and ham in the freezer that needs to be used.
My I’ll advised Popeyes run had satisfied my red beans and rice craving a few days ago. Now the cheese burger urge is satiated I’m thinking about a couple t bone steaks that are in the freezer. Hey, if we’re all gonna die (joking) we might as well feast first!
 
Last night I decided to cook a whole chicken. I turned the oven on to 350 degs, put the chicken in a roasting pan, added potatoes carrots asparagus and bell peppers. When I opened the oven door to put the chicken in it blew up. I was covered in flames from my chest to the top of my head. Much of my hair and beard burned off, my right eye is still a little blurry and my face has a minor burn. Kind of like a really bad sun burn.
As near as I can figure, when we cleaned the lower oven last time I put the gas diffuser in wrong. This allowed only a small flame to light and the rest of the oven filled up with gas. When I opened the door all that gas ignighted.
The moral of the story is that you never know what is going to "get" you.
Anyway once I fixed the oven I cooked the chicken. It was great.

Glad you weren’t hurt worse that you were. Be careful to keep the affected areas clean as this isn’t the time for an infection.

Oh goodness, I hope it's not too serious and you feel better soon. Burns are the worst and can be very serious if not treated properly.
I'm making some banana bread. It's been a while since I made it so I'll have to see how it turns out.
 
I'm boiling a sack of crawfish right now.

I boiled new red potatoes, corn on the cob, garlic cloves, onions, celery, asparagus, mushrooms and smoked sausage.

The beer is cold and the bread pudding is in the oven.

It took me a while to figure out how to cook black beans so that they were palatable, but the other day I made a batch of Black Beans and Rice that was really good.
Black beans have about the highest level of antioxidants of any food, higher than blueberries. They are also high in soluble fiber, protein, and a number of essential minerals.

And they are CHEAP!

I found that if you cook them too fast, the skin is tough. But if you slow cook them at 200°F (93°C), the skin gets soft.
 
I just hope we can all continue to post about how well we are eating over the next few months or longer. I really don’t want to find out how those #10 cans of freeze dried foods taste.......
I will be okay for the few months. I was took inventory of my stash yesterday when I was pulling some out for someone who has lost her job. Considering I don't actually eat that much I will be okay for a while.

I'm not the biggest fan of black beans either, but they're okay. I don't think I have many of them though I saw a lot at Walmart yesterday while I was there (and there were very few other beans of any kind).
