Today was spent cooking for tomorrows New Orleans Feast. Scott comented that he misses Red Beans and Rice 
so we thought it would be nice if we made New Orleans favorites and let them have their friends over to enjoy it with us. So today I made the Red Beans and Rice, which took 4 hours to cook today and tomorrow it will need an additional hour! Next was the Shrimp Etouffee. 
Just the Roux alone took 45 minutes to get it to that 'walnut' color stage. Then it needed an additional 1 1/2 hours to complete. Alyssa will be making Gumbo tonight as well. These three items are best if made the day before. Talk about a labor of love! Scott and PJ both said the house smelled great which was nice to hear!
