Alex, if it is possible, you have outdone yourself with this meal; or maybe just touched on my favorites....I don't know or care, it's just all good!

Your black beans and rice should be featured in a magazine....beautiful pics of everything and nice slices of celery too. Course, your home grown and made peppers and spices make it even better.

Plus, your greens and smoked chicken make a down home Southern feast that needs to be shared with everyone~ some serious eatin'!

Definitively well-earned points for you!

I'm with john and the gang here too. Alex not only are you a great guy to share your extras with the seniors you are making dishes like this one too.

for sure. They are more than deserved with all you bring to the dish and our own recipes book we all have here. You and jeanie are a great impreration to us all. I was just thinking I haven't seen why you grow your cows and pigs. Ok so now it won't let me give you anymore points.

Until recently (with the exception of zuppa toscana) I never even used kale as anything more than a garnish but have found that it is a great addition but don't generally find many good recipes for its usage.
Great looking meal, not just the greens but that rice looks like something out of a magazine, another fine meal Alex
