Happy New Year! Is everyone else eating ham, greens and black-eyed peas today? I boiled the ham hocks for the greens last night. The peas have been soaking overnight. Should be a pretty simple meal to fix from here. We need all the good luck we can get.
We're going the traditional route on food. Collard greens, boneless pork loin cooked in the greens, blackeyed peas, and cornbread.
My mother in law taught me how to cook greens so they're actually good. She put a tablespoon or two of vinegar in the greens so they wouldn't be so bitter, then added an equal amount of syrup or sugar to sweeten them. Her favorite syrup to use was Yellow Label, though if she didn't have it she'd use Karo.
Happy New Year to all the Playfriends!
If it takes greens and black eyed peas for good luck, I'm screwed. Ick.
Black eyed peas I love...greens not so much.
