What’s the story about black eyed peas?

Just an old southern custom
You eat blackeyed peas for luck, greens for money and carrots for
gold.
I had a double helping of greens and spilled some on my Mega Millions
ticket. ;-)

I ate a giant load of salad at olive garden yesterday. does that count?


We like Olive Garden, too.

I cooked baby back ribs in my *instant pot* last night. Basically, I cut
the rack of ribs in half, put a rub on them, put them in the pot with
some water and onions, and cooked them for 15 minutes. When I took them
out of the pot, I cut them into individual ribs, brushed barbecue sauce
on all sides, and baked them for about 10 minutes.

They really came out tasty, and the meat just fell off the bones. The
instant pots are terrific, especially if you don't want to spend a lot
of time cooking.

I'm going to try a corned beef brisket next. Usually that would take six
to eight hours in the crock pot. Probably use this recipe:

I can't handle boiling ribs or other meats to tenderize them. When you take them out of the broth you just made, take a look at that broth. There's your flavor.

Good to hear others are using the Instant Pot. We gave one to our youngest son a month or so ago as an apartment warming present. He and his woman moved in together.

Eat 'em. Lots of 'em. The southerners believe they bring good luck. Yankees believe in pork and
sauerkraut. I believe in both. But, Anasazi beans overrode the black-eyed peas this year.

God made only so many ham hocks for beans, you know.

In the south, I've heard the peas are for pennies and for good luck.

Talking to a guy I work with from New Hampshire, he says they didn't do the sauerkraut thing. They always had Chinese food for New Years. If you didn't have your order in or reservations months in advance, you were out of luck.

We've been going to a local Chinese place, the House of Dynasty, on New Year's Eve for the past 25
or so years, since we got back from Germany in '92. Reservations have to be made well in advance.

Don't think it's brought any special good luck though, although that may be what prompted my dog to
turn the corner!

How much good luck do you want? That is great luck.
