    I love how so many of your cooks start with freezer dives and freestyle a bit from there.
    THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER

    It was beans weather for sure. Nice job there. I pulled out some red beans, sausage and ham from the deep freezer this morning. According to the masking tape label, it was almost a year frozen. No cooking pics, but I do have a just prior to consumption pic


    Turns out, I keep good records, here's the pics of the original cook:


    The funny part of this was my wife's reaction. She took one bite and was concerned about the heat level. I mean, what did she expect from Creole style red beans? She heaped sour creme on top and was still chugging milk. I was silently lmao...

    @caliking Friend, I’m just yankin’ yer chain. The last couple of good cooks I’ve done had no finish shots either. There are more important things sometimes than posting pics on a forum. Sounds like you had a great day and I’m sure the beans were spectacular. 
    :) oh I know, @SciAggie.  I had a fun day of not worrying about the more mundane things in life.

    Nice cook and I still say you can give other food bloggers a run for their money!
    Thanks for the kind words, Gary! I've been too lazy to pull out the "nice" camera for food shots, so the pics are somewhat lacking.

    @DMW - that does look good.

    And I bet you said that part about "what did she expect from Creole style red beans?" out loud :smiley:

    No, as I mentioned above, I was silently, lmao. I'm not that stupid.

    No plated shot - now that’s just wrong. 
    I agree wholeheartedly :) I'm disappointed in myself, partly because soup/stew is  easy to take pictures of too.

    The day funneled in to this 10 minute window where the cornbread had to come out of the oven, last beer needed to be finished, stew had to be pulled off the egg, an errand had to be run, and the kid needed to be picked up. 

    Didn't have it in me after that. And I didn't have any sour cream.
    @caliking =)=)=)  Literally the same thing that happened to my ham and bean soup yesterday. 

    But thats the rule of the internet. Pics or it didn’t happen.
