re: Denver Restaurant recommendations

Try Steuben’s. We found it a few years ago while passing through Denver and loved it. Recently recommended to some coworkers in town for a week and they went twice.

Doing that right now. “Donating” over $5,000 a year to SS/FedGov and I won’t get much, if any, back. Will have worked enough quarters pre and post State employment to draw.

re: Need to stay a night in the Shreveport area
Posted by haricot rouge on 2/12/24 at 11:54 pm
Residence Inn in Bossier. Easy off the Interstate, close to the Boardwalk and Horseshoe Casino. Several nearby restaurants and Flying Heart Brewery. If Interstate is messed up with construction, can get in to Downtown Shreveport via the Texas St. bridge.
Decent breakfast and snacks / free b...
re: Field Peas are underrated

[quote]What's everyone else's thoughts on field peas? [/quote]
You are correct. Very underrated.
I grew up eating them like red beans served over rice. I still cook that occasionally and use a small roux.
I remember seeing it In Jambalaya at times as well. I’ve never added it, but...

Love Red Beans, hence the user name, but have never tried or mad Red Bean Gumbo.
I have some relatives in Vacherie and Lutcher that rave about it. Here is a recent video from Spuddy’s in Vacherie on how to make it and the history.

re: Quick Red Beans and Rice recipe for 40
Posted by haricot rouge on 12/29/23 at 9:07 am
I've cooked before for 50 and used 3 of the large industrial (128oz) cans of Blue Runner Red Beans and added 5 regular cans of Trappey's Light Kidney Beans just to have some visible beans.
Like others have said, saute your onions, bell peppers and garlic and use smoked sausage and ham hocks.

Not sure of current price, but good quality and always cheaper than Cox’s Market, WJ’s and the other places on Airline Hwy in LaPlace.
Their seasoned ground meat is good and their boudin (with and without rice) is good for LaPlace/Reserve area. Problem is it’s only sold frozen in small vacuum se...
