Hoppin' John

Well, had to have black-eyed peas for good luck in 2014, so...

Figured I'd try this recipe:

Needed Tasso, so I pretty much made some like Squirt did a while back...
(No pics of mine, but I did about the same thing)

And this was the result (burrrrrrrp)...

Happy New Year, Y'all!!!!
Awrighten.

I'm no fan of black eyed peas, but those look delicious.

I may try that next year. My sister makes Hoppin' John that includes collard greens. This year I ate the collard greens and black-eyed pea as two separate sided dishes. The collard greens are for prosperity .

I'd hammer a plate(or two) of that!
Looks mighty tasty.

Uh huh...
Pat's mentioning that the FIRST bowl didn't bring much luck so far!
(Expen$ive BBQ disaster today. Oh well...)

Looks like you need to add some collard greens. :)

We lost a fridge full of pork.. I was able to reboot the PID controller on the fridge, but 2 cases of cooked butts were a total loss.

I had cabbage in my HJ! Not enough, apparently. :(

Give some to Pat and add some greens. Some cornbread too wouldn't hurt. You need to change your luck.
