I was always told to eat blackeyed peas on New Years day

For the best of luck. Works for me along with a fresh smoked ham with raison sauce along with a sweet tator with green onions:



Ann made a killer bread pudding with rum sauce:

ham and smothered cabbage........

Ann says she is going to do a bread pudding for the TB gathering for the folks who have never had that.

In that case....I never had it......but I heard about it...

I have pork jowl, salt pork, onion, smoked ham hocks and tasso browned and simmering. The cabbage is cut and waiting for the hocks to get tender. The black-eyes are holding warm and the oven is preheated for the corn bread. The boneless pork chops are seasoned and waiting too. MMMMM MMMM MMMMM wont be long.

Black eyed peas, cabbage, hog jowl and cornbread here. Our annual lucky meal for the new year!

Yep - she's proud of it. Don't blame her, very good job she did. All from scratch, not a box mix - French bread pieces and everything. Not bad for a girl from Kentucky. Of course I'm not some sort of expert about such things being from West Texas. Works for me though.

Bruce, I'm sure you've had the best there is.

Told Ann that canned Trappy's black eyed peas works for me - but no, she did the real deal. Soaked overnight, etc.

I did cabbage seasoned with sausage and salt meat. Field peas and snaps , old style with a little roux, and sat down to eat and realized I forgot the cornbread. Randy peas are for luck, cabbage is for money. I ate a lot of cabbage. Was in a restaurant in downtown BR eating bread pudding a few years back. The chef came out and asked how we liked it. I told him it was some of the best I ever ate. Then he told me his "secret". Used krispi kreme donuts for the bread. It was awesome at only 500 calories per bite.
