Ever since I can remember, which is a long time, we always had Red Beans and Rice on Monday! Why? Monday was wash day. Maw maw used to get up about 6 am, feed the chickens, fix breakfast for she and Paw paw and then get out the "wash board". This was before washing machines and dryers. She would kneel over the bath tub and scrub a number of pieces of clothes then go to the kitchen and get the pot and utensils out, wash the beans and take out the culls and rocks and put the beans on the fire. Then she would return to her laundry. The beans didn't take that much attention, so she could get a good bit washed before stirring the beans. Believe it or not, when I was about five years old, she traded her "wood stove" for a gas stove! It was a "Vesta", 4 burner with an oven on top and it stood on 4 legs. You had to light it with a match as there were no pilot lights. cajuncookery.esmartweb.com
