Post-Francine 🌀
09/19/2024
Now that we’re post-Francine, it’s time for me to start cooking up more Hoppin’ John variations to pack away in the freezer. In the wake of that hurricane, I was without electricity for some 36 hours; and lost the food in the freezer. I’m glad it was relatively cheap, home-cooked stuff; and not the costly frozen meals you see in the supermarket!
1 1/4 cups raw brown rice
26 oz can ranch-style beans, drained and rinsed
4 oz coarsely chopped celery (about 1 cup)
6 oz coarsely chopped red onion (about 1 cup)
14.5 oz can diced tomtotes, well drained
2 oz mozzarella cheese, chopped or grated
1/2 cup coarsely chopped red bell pepper
freshly ground white pepper and salt to taste
Cook the brown rice. Mix with the mozzarella cheese; salt and pepper; tomatoes; onion; and bell pepper. Set aside.
Cook the beans and celery in about 1 cup water until celery is crisp-tender. Drain; add the bean/celery mix to the rice mixture. Stir well.
Yield: ~9 3/4 cups

ABOUT ME
I began this website primarily as a way to present the story of how I accomplished a century ride on an adult tricycle. Other riders of adult trikes might want to know whether it’s possible. It sure is! You can read all about it in My Story.
I live in New Orleans; and retired in January 2023. More time for cycling!
