Directions
This dirty rice can be as hot or as mild as you like, and I love the smoky spice of the andouille sausage.
It’s just enough heat to wake up my tired sinuses, and easy enough to make when I’m not feeling so hot.
Note:
If you’re sensitive to spice or serving this to kids, you may wish to omit the cayenne pepper or use a milder sausage.

I also believe that Pho is the cure to almost anything. It is especially useful in hangover situations.
Have fun with your hot date in Seattle. I also love the Kimpton hotel group. My wife and I had a hot date down at the Hotel Vintage plaza down in Portland. It was such a “hot date” that I proposed to her the next day in Cannon Beach.
