Here's the Red Bean and Rice Soup from the January 1998 Williams-Sonoma
Catalog
1 T olive oil
1/2 c diced bacon
1 1/2 c chopped onions
1/4 c chopped green bell peppers
1 T minced garlic
4 bay leaves
6 oz. sliced andouille sausage
1 small smoked ham hock (5-6 oz.)
2 c dried red kidney beans, soaked overnight
1 T Creole seasoning
1T Worcestershire sauce
2 qt. chicken stock
1 t salt
1 1/2 c cooked long-grain white rice, warm
6 T chopped green onions.
Heat oil in a large heavy pot over high heat. Add bacon; saute 2 min. Add
onions, peppers, garlic, bay leaves, sausage and ham hock and cook,
stirring, 2 min. Add beans and cook 2 min. Stir in Creole seasoning, W
sauce and stock; bring to boil. Reduce heat to medium; cook 1 min. Add
salt, cover pot and cook 15 minutes. Turn off heat and let the pot sit,
covered, for 20 minutes. Discard ham hock (and bay leaves, I'd say).

onions. Serves 6.

I love red beans and rice, but I would never go to that much trouble to make it. I'm a 6-ingredient max kind of gal.

are you counting herbs and spices as ingredients?
The best part is seasoning, so I never look upon it as a chore!

Never measure either but man, was I excited to get stainless steell measuring cups and spoons for Christmas! They just look good!
I'm pretty competent in the kitchen and measuring doesn't occur to me because I tend to shy away from receipes. WER and I talked about this a few weeks ago... you read a couple versions for what you want to make, take what you like, use it and amend or omit various other ingredients (directions).
Works okay for me. Only a problem when someone asks for a receipe.

My mom gave has an Amish cookbook--since they have no electricity, everything is cooked in a fire-powered oven, with no temperature settings. All the baking directions say "Cook until done." Combine that with your philosophy and you'd have the most ambiguous cookbook ever published!

I believe that all a cookbook was intended to be was a general guide to proportions and preparation. It's up to the cook to make it work. After all,
this is not explosives you are making, it's food.

My philosophy as well, Tim! The first thing I do when I clip a new recipe is modify it to my liking. It's like I'm negotiating with it. "We're gonna halve that oil and substitute applesauce for the remainder"..."OK, I'll use white flour, but I'm adding wheat germ too"..."Raisins?? I don't think so! Now, where are the chocolate chips?"

Buy a blender from Vita-Mix and make your own peanut butter. Peanuts are cheaper in 50lb sacks anyway.

They are expensive, but they last forever. I bought one for my parents in 1967.
When I got them a more deluxe version in 1978, they gave the first one to my sister. she is still using it. 31 years is pretty good for an electrical
appliance.

Of course you would need a tongue 18 inches long, Riette. Otherwise it would not reach.
