Black-eyed peas on New Year's Day: somethings you just have
to do. Actually, their
real name, according to my great-grandfather, was "Black-eyed cowpea beans."
"It's a deep South tradition," his wife, Doris said.
Well, I could take issue with that statement and say it's a
Texas thing, but I'm sure I'd be corrected.
I couldn't believe that I had to stop at two, count 'em,
two different gorcery stores yesterday before I found a black-eyed pea shelf that wasn't completely picked clean.
