Eating in NOLA:

Every Monday the student center (LBC) serves red beans and rice. You can get it with an extra link of sausage or vegetables. Kerry went with the vegetables... I went with no extra anything (well cornbread) and then consumed all of it in about 6 minutes.

The reason red beans and rice are served in New Orleans on Monday traditionally is that Monday is laundry day and the women could cook the beans all day while they washed clothes. I litterally just learned that 2 minutes ago. And now you know too.

It was good.
