Notes: Recipe inspired by River Road Recipes, Fifty-first printing, 1979, It's not Chef Paul’s so don’t @ me* - and it’s brown, not red)
* It’s OK. Irma Thomas and the Rolling Stones can sing the same song
† too lazy for this
** Bottle, then. I see you.
*** Suggest skipping the top 31 selling beers in the US (maybe #17 is OK). Tom Benson’s widow is reviving Dixie Beer, so there’s that.
**** or chicken/vegetable stock, but that may make this recipe so good that you’ll have unwanted house guests. Just sayin’
***** you didn’t think you’d have to count asterisks, now did you? Anyway, suggest going easy on the heat so the un-baptized can enjoy eating without fear. You can add hot sauce at the table.
****** I do use the Oxford comma. Did you notice?
^ As Justin Wilson^^ said. Don’t open the lid for anything. If you have a household member that lifts the lid, cut dey hands-off.
^^ WWJD
