JA-MAKING ME CRAZY RICE AND PEAS Scott and I decided to have Jamaican night at our house with our good friend, Jeremy.  Jamaican night always means Jerk Chicken smoked on the BGE.  We started growing MOA (minster of agriculture) Scotch Bonnet peppers a few years back and I needed to figure out what to do with a gazillion fruity hot peppers? So me being me, I got out my handy dandy notebook and started tons of research hoping to find recipes that look really good.   Since Scott was going to smoke some Jerk Chicken I wanted to be as authentic as I could be and find another Jamaican recipe.   While doing a bit of research I came across this recipe.  AKA Jamaican Rice and Peas.  I looked at several recipes and pretty much combined them and made my own version of this wonderful dish.  Let me say the name is a bit misleading.  It is rice but it is NOT peas.  You actually use kidney beans in this recipe.   My version consisted of white or brown jasmine rice, a scotch bonnet pepper
