Notes: Anecdote: In New Orleans, kidney beans are called red beans, not to be confused with the small red beans that are used to make chili. Red beans (kidney beans) are traditionally cooked on Mondays.The reasons because families usually washed their clothes on a Monday. Since both of these tasks were time consuming, it became an early form of multitasking to put on a pot of red beans while washing the clothes. In the early days, it took all day to wash a week's load of family clothes.
special Notes: While cooking those red beans, don't forget to put on your favorite Jazz records of listen to KFSR, Mighty 90.7 at kfsr.org or on your smartphone download the free app Tune-In Radio at 90.7. As Master Chef Andrey Zimmern says, "Cooking is like Jazz, you got to know how to improvise." And remember, Dr. Mikell always say, "Us Jazzers always do it on the right beat." No matter what we are doing, cooking, exercising, etc. A finally on red beans, New Orleans born Louis Armstrong always signed his correspondence, "Red Beans and Ricely Your."
