For over 40 years, Tom has been collecting behind-the scenes stories in music, dining from New York to Portland, and was inspired to learn to cook his favorite Buster Holmes’ Red Beans and Rice recipe in New Orleans.

Tom says the cheaper the better, because it’s not as filtered! In a large pot, cover beans with water, or alternatively use the sauce you soaked them in overnight as part of the liquid. Add chopped onions, bell pepper, ham hock and garlic. Cook on low for 5 hours. Stir about once per hour, adding hot sauce to taste as you go. Prep and serve over rice. Any kind of rice will do! Tom’s Tips: • Invite guests to arrive about an hour before the dish is done. • The cheaper the wine, the better. Can use cheap beer as a sub. • Don’t invite your girlfriend over to watch an episode of a freaky food show you produced if you want a girlfriend after she has watched the show!

According to Jed, “Asking is also a skill that improves with practice. The authors [of the book, The Aladdin Factor, by Jack Canfield and Mark Victor Hansen] also make it clear that there is no formula for 100% asking success. And they [successful people] ask over and over again. My favorite takeaway from the book is the formula SW x4.” Let’s find out together what Jed has to say about asking for what we need. “Asking gives other people an opportunity to help. When we ask, we give others the opportunity to say Yes! When we ask, there is the possibility of moving toward our goals!” And those goals will help us in our faith, family, and friendship.

He didn’t deny his flaws, try to hide them, or pretend that they didn’t exist. His limp was there for the world to see. Yet, he succeeded anyway!” Jed’s curious what was on Walt’s mind when he spoke about his “kick in the teeth.” The best way to blog with a limp is to begin taking action. The first few steps are always the most difficult. Everything gets easier from there. Disney stated, “The way to get started is to quit talking and begin doing.” Momentum is like a steam-engine. At rest, a small, slanted block, under the front tire, will hold that engine in place. However, moving at full speed, that engine will crash through most any barrier.
