Collards and Blackeyed peas How many people ate their collards and blackeyed peas yesterday. I think the tradition started to help people start out the new year with a "good cleaning" :D. I know I am certainly starting the New Year out that way. I sincerely hope and pray that 2009 is the best year ever for my YT family. I pray that everyone's life is filled with joy and love, lots of Yorkie kisses, and that this year is profitable for everyone! |
I've had one black eyed pea in my life and that was one too many. Why eat something that will make you sick if the "good luck"part of it doesn't work anyway?:D |
collards and blackeyed peas I DID, I DID. Even put okra in my black eyed peas. Have done this all of my life and never got sick from a pea. Have had a great life also. :smilehat::smilehat::smilehat: |
not me. :p |

:yelrotflm"A good cleaning?" :yelrotflm Just what the dr. ordered. LOL. So tell us how you make yours... try and make it sound appetizing, ok? :cool: I love trying different things... I just have to make it down south at least once in my life and try all these things I've been hearing about. |
Born and raised on the west coast! No collards and black eye peas here! :p Quote:

Collards and Blackeyed peas Quote:
If I can't get fresh peas, buy frozen and cook them with ham hocks or salt pork, "bet you don't know what that is?". My step son was born and raised in MN and he still can't eat the collard greens. His Father is from MN, and now he loves his wife's greens, black eyed peas and okra. :D:D:D |

Donna - do you know what pot likker is? Oh boy a nice hot cup of that stuff while the collards are cooking is just too much to resist! |
Now, a bowl of cheese grits I can eat anyday, if they're made right, or regular grits, well, the yankee comes out in me then, I still like the sugar and milk in the plain ones |

We had our ham and black eyed peas. :D Didn't do collards, but John missed them this year. So, we'll probably do them next year. Happy New Year everyone! May 2009 be wonderful for us all! :D |

A SISSY???????? Excuse me???? I DO know what salt pork is.... it's the stuff that Laura Ingalls Wilder wrote about and they would fry it up and munch away. :D It's also in baked beans, is it not? :p:p You guys are making my stomach growl. So do you just eat the beans alone? (if you don't have the greens to go along with them?) Do you put anything on them? |

It's delicious!! :thumbup::thumbup: [BTW .... we also had some leftover Peanut Butter pie .... yummmy!
