Welcome to 2008!
Happy New Year!
May 2008 be an auspicious year for you!
Here is a recipe for a New Years dish that is said to bring good fortune to your and your household:
Black-eyed Peas and Rice (Hoppin' John)
Soak black-eyed peas for 8 hours, and remove what floats to the top. Next, cook them for 2 hours with the following ingredients: chopped onions, garlic, chunks of turkey or smoked ham. Sprinkle in some jalapenos when done cooking and mix them into the black-eyed peas. Make a pot of (preferably, brown) rice, and mix the two together.
You can serve this with baked yams, collard greens or spinach, and cornbread....but just the black-eyed peas and rice is a fine meal.
Blessings!
