Who is cookin' BLACK EYED PEAS today?

[Deltaphoenix]

Is it only Southern folks doing this for good luck or is this done all over? I am betting it's a Southern Thang.

I got mine cooking, I didn't feel like messing with Ham Hocks or Hawg Jawls so I just put a bunch of awesome BACON in mine. I am letting mine cook slow and long (TWSS). Making corn bread, rice and greens to go along with this tasty dish.
I know Blooghost is doing this too (has to or he gets kicked out of Alabama). What about you Sousa?

[mathias]

Man, I am gonna do this, too. Just so happens I have collard greens from the coop in our fridge. And I really want some corn bread.

[Deltaphoenix]

Hell Yeah!

Yep, black eyed peas for luck, collards for money, and lots of pork to season luck and money with. In spite of all these things, it's a wonder that I haven't been kicked out of the state already. It almost happened when I nearly got arrested for wearing a black hoodie at night. Then there was that halloween where I put on the corpse paint and filmed myself burning a torch in my back yard. My Baptist neighbors wouldn't even look at me for a month.

You should offer to play at their Sunday church service to get back in their good graces.

We're cooking black eyed peas today-- hoppin' John'-- along with pan-fried pork chops, and corn bread.

Dessert is homemade vanilla ice cream that I made last night. It's the good stuff that I can only make once a year. It requires raw eggs so I use pasteurized eggs, which are only sold during... uhh... egg nog season.

Happy new year!

Is it racist that I lol'd?


I actually googled the significance of this whole black eyed peas thing. I still kind of don't get it. Sounds like a bunch of weird traditions I wouldn't get because I hate the south. No offense, but fuck you Texas, Florida, Texas....yea... Tennessee, other south bound places.

God I hate the fucking south sooooooooo hard. I've been to Florida and Texas so many times I fucking hated it so much. Not so much the weather, but the drivers and the people and the food and the fat people. LOL! I'm on a rant because I'm hyper...sorry. I know I just offended like half this message board. I live in Kansas though...so I'll go milk a cow now.
