HELP! I am looking for short quotes from all my cooks & lovers of southern food to tell me what makes Red Beans & Rice special to you. I am doing a paper on it and need quotes from people that know the subject. I will post the paper here later in the month. It was a "how to" paper that I will be putting my recipe in it and how to make it steps, but I believe that there is so much more to the story so I have permission to add history of the dish and quotes from those who make or love the dish. Simply add a comment. I will be giving full credit to each comment in the paper unless you wish just to be a first name last initial or anonymous. I am hoping if the story is really good I may try to get it published up here. Anyone and everyone has a story or a memory attached to Red Beans n Rice...I'd love to share yours.

Dedication to the army of Brandi's Friends and Family:

While driving home the song Who Knew by Pink came on the radio. At first it sounded like a "break-up" song but the more I listened to it the theme became clear; it was about the death of some one special.

With the court date looming for the bastard who killed Brandi, I thought I would post the lyrics to Who Knew as a way to say we miss you Brandi and "If someone said three years from now, You'd be long gone, I'd stand up and punch them out, Cause they're all wrong"

"Who Knew"

You took my hand
You showed me how
You promised me you'd be around
Uh huh
That's right
I took your words
And I believed
In everything
You said to me
Yeah huh
That's right

If someone said three years from now
You'd be long gone
I'd stand up and punch them out
Cause they're all wrong
I know better
Cause you said forever
And ever
Who knew

Remember when we were such fools
And so convinced and just too cool
Oh no
No no
I wish I could touch you again
I wish I could still call you friend
I'd give anything

When someone said count your blessings now
'fore they're long gone
I guess I just didn't know how
I was all wrong
They knew better
Still you said forever
And ever
Who knew

Yeah yeah
I'll keep you locked in my head
Until we meet again
Until we
Until we meet again
And I won't forget you my friend
What happened

If someone said three years from now
You'd be long gone
I'd stand up and punch them out
Cause they're all wrong and
That last kiss
I'll cherish
Until we meet again
And time makes
It harder
I wish I could remember
But I keep
Your memory
You visit me in my sleep
My darling
Who knew
My darling
My darling
Who knew
My darling
I miss you
My darling
Who knew
