Another, "Ive never eaten this so Im going to make it" recipe. Im not sure about the authenticity but I like using "easy" recipes the first time. It was another hearty meal of "arroz con cosas".

Now that I have more of the spices to make Gumbo, Ill be making that in a few weeks.

mmm, looks good. how spicy did you make it?

It was :)

I only made it as spicy as the recipe called for.

It had a lot of flavor but the spiceist thing was the Andouille sausage. Which is more of a black pepper heat than say a hot pepper imo.

If i were compare the spice, I would say it was close to a just ripe jalapeno.

nice. not bad for your first time. next time, don't be afraid to bump up the spice a little bit, especially when you make that gumbo, which should be spicy!

haha Okay, I'll give it a few tastes during the cook to dail it in.

Thanks!
