red beans and rice

Between the years 1995 and 1997 this was my favorite lunch. Very easy to prepare so I had it several times a week. Then all of a sudden Lipton stopped making it. I wrote them a letter, but nothing ever came of it. It's been nothing but a memory ever since. Funny how the best things in life get discontinued.
