Met with a lawyer to get durable power of attorney and answer some questions about moving Louise (my mom-in-law) in with us. Since the cold rain continued, needed something quick and hearty. I think black-eyed peas are very underrated and it's nice that they don't need pre-soaking.
- Black-eyed peas and rice
Used the porky liquid left over from the last time I made beans. Didn't have to do ANYTHING ELSE and they were delish. (Except a few chopped green onions).
Every year, we have a wonderful New Years Feast with friends in Chapel Hill. One of the dishes we always look forward to is Hoppin' John. She makes Bill Neal's version. First in the serving dish, rice. Then, good porky black eyed peas. She tops the whole thing with grated cheddar, chopped tomatoes, and chopped green onion.

ReplyDeleteThis has been our "go-to" New Year's version for a few years. And I always cook collards along side.
