  • All depends on your personality and possible HOA’s in a more populated area.

    Personally, I don’t have a problem being separated from people, and you don’t have to be lonely just because you’re away from people - animals can provide you company and keep you busy. I would go with the more recluse location as you can do what you with your property more so than in a neighborhood. Grow a garden, have a bon fire, and just generally have more freedom. Land and houses are generally cheaper a little farther out so that also helps. As long as you have a reliable mode of transportation then living farther away from people is my go to. Also, a plus if you work remote and don’t have to commute.


  • I’m not really putting measurements on here but I’d say you want to cook minimum a pound of beans.

    -Soak red kidney beans overnight

    -Sautee onions, garlic, celery in a 4 quart pot

    -Pour in beans and cover with water

    -Throw in 2-3 bay leaves

    -Add meats (if you want them to be tender)

    -Salt/pepper to taste

    -cayenne pepper, solely based off of your heat tolerance

    -mix

    -Bring to broil reduce heat

    -Cook at least 8 hours on medium low heat

    -Stir occasionally

    -beans should be a viscous, not runny/watery and not incredibly thick. Add water as needed to thin out beans.

    -Serve with white rice

    -Garish with Italian parsley and/or chopped green onions

    -if you didn’t Add meats in the beginning, serve with your choice of smoked sausage, bone in pork chop, Andouille, or boudin on the side and/or French bread with butter

    -Top beans and rice with your favorite hot sauce (typically louisiana hot, Tabasco, or crystal)

    This is your basic no frills red beans that tastes delish.
