Regarding the red beans and rice...

Yes, I did make red beans (or pintos) and rice from scratch. It's a fairly easy recipe, though cooking the beans takes forever. Got it from the Gracious Plenty cookbook or something like that. Didn't use sausage of course.

Was wanting something non-pasta. So count it however you want. :).

So, is the Gracious Plenty cookbook any good?

And something I'm dying to ask -- did you find Australia as depressing and angry making as I did? (Perhaps being trapped on a transatlantic flight might have been the problem there, but the acting seemed too brittle.)

Actually, it is. It has a good basic Southern food collection. Got it for free for using a teaching book. Though I will never do anything with doves.

No, it's not just you on the Australia thing. I found it very angry making and depressing too. I also broke it up as I could only handle one part of the cattle drive. I can't imagine seeing it all in all 3 hours of it. The Somewhere over the rainbow bits bothered and so forth.
