Black Eyed Peas!

Southern lore has it that you eat Black Eyed Peas on New Year's Day you'll have luck the whole year. Who can't use a little more luck! I will be soaking those beans tonight and slow cookin' them tomorrow for our lucky dish.

Also called Hoppin John, there are recipes here, a healthy version here, and (slow cooked) here.

Happy New Year, Y'all!!!

& 'til next year, Christmas tree!
