The Morning of New Year's Eve


I went food shopping yesterday after I cleaned out my refrigerator and forgot to buy black-eyed peas to eat on New Year's Day with cornbread and greens. Do you have a tradition of eating anything special on the first day of the year? My meal is very Southern - history here.

We put some manger straw in our wallets. The straw is usually sourced from an outdoor church nativity scene.

Rosemary,

Here's a great recipe for black-eyed peas. I get raves when I make them... Canned b-eyed peas--flavored with bacon, crumbled bacon, 1 can tomatoes,
sauteed --in butter--green pepper, onions, and celery. A touch of salt--and 1 tablespoon sugar.
Make the night before New Year's Day so flavors can meld. ( I usually use about 6-8 cans of peas and 2 pounds of bacon.
With this we eat boiled cabbage--tons of butter and a bit of sugar and salt.
Cornbread... Obviously this is not low-cal.
