Ahh.... Ringing in the New Year with what else but black eyed peas? This is for you honey. (((muah))) For anyone else that didn't catch the back story on these on facebook... My husband *insists that we eat these wretched things every year for good luck. (Though... I didn't eat any the year I met him - make what you want out of that). So of course he is away this year and he reminded me a few times to get them and I fully intended to make them and eat them this year in his honor. Well then New Years crept up on me and somehow I forgot. He was able to call this morning to wish us a happy New Years and of course he reminded me (again) to eat my black eyed peas. Wouldn't want to put a hex on the new year with all the changes we're about to go through. So after we hung up I scrambled out of the house to get to the store to buy some. Well of course they were sold out, so I bought field peas, which looked basically the same.
I figured it was better than nothing, right? So I did my regular grocery shopping, bought the field peas too, and came home prepared to cook them and eat. I decided before I started cooking them to check the cupboards just to make sure we didn't already have some. Well... we did. Crisis averted. I cooked the black eyed peas and had enough (in my opinion) for the both of us. He can't blame anything on me now. That was for you baby. I love you.
