Personal Notes:
When our family moved to New Orleans one of the first dishes we had was red beans and rice. We loved it so much and I knew it would be a dish I would have to learn to make myself. I dabbled here and there attempting to make the dish, but it never really tasted, "authentic". Then, one day after church, Mr. Henry Pepper (now deceased) handed me a handwritten card with his mother's recipe. I still use Mrs. Pepper's recipe today and it's a treasured piece of our memories of New Orleans.
