Been under the weather most of the week but finally cooking three pounds of Blue Runner dry red beans today. Got four smoked ham hocks from Bailey's in Laplace as well as andouille and smoked sausage in there. Smells terrific but I probably won't be eating any myself for a couple of days.

The great debate, red beans better day one or a few days out as leftovers?

4 hocks and 3 lbs is enough to feed a small army. My stomach is cramping up thinking about eating beans for more than 3 days.

Cooking down the onions, celery and bell peppers and getting the smoked hocks going. Bell peppers are from the garden and super crisp.

I'll probably get roasted for this but how necessary is the entire Trinity for red beans? I find that the only necessary thing is the onions.
