Oh yes! We'll be having some of those "lucky" black eyed peas for New Years! My recipe of choice is:

Black Eyed Pea Soup

1# dry black eyed peas
1# pan sausage
1 large chopped onion
Salt, pepper and garlic powder, to taste.
1 can Rotel Tomatoes
1 can chopped tomatoes
Water

Place sausage and chopped onion in large soup pan. Brown till onions are clear. Add rest of ingredients, stir, cover and cook for a few hours on medium heat until peas are to your liking and stock is thicker.

We will eat some good ole cornbread with it, which adds nothing for good luck--- but sure is good eatin'!!

We eat soups for lunches a lot, so this big pot full will last and be enjoyed a few days!

Happy New Year!

JG, congratulations on 12 year anniversary. Tell Jon, congrats to. CF:)

Thanks CF.

Congrats! We just had our 38th - time flies.

I don't care for blackeyed peas. It's supposed be
nice this weekend so hope to BBQ.

Congrats to you Janie (and Jon) on your 12th and to you too Johnny on your 38th. Our 38th will be coming up this May. Gee I'm getting old.
