I noticed that KAM is fixin Cabbage and Black Eyes plus a Pig Goodie and I can't remember not having Cabbage and Black Eyed Peas on New Years Day. Even after playing a New Years Eve Gig, somehow the C&BEPs followed. The VFW Halls would usually stop us right before midnight, everyone would sing Auld Lang Syne and out came the traditional goodies.
For a long time I've been covering my good luck and prosperity bases with my good friend Betty Kellye's Cabbage Patch Stew recipe. However, I have tweeked it a little bit and use jalapeno black eyes (duh).
It's simmering as I type and will be joined by a cast iron skillet of Sweet Yeller Cornbread. Just being able to eat this great Suthern Food is what I call good luck and prosperity.
I am determined to sustain myself as long as possible & die like a soldier who never forgets what is due to his own honor & that of his country—Victory or Death. William Barret Travis - Lt. Col. comdt "The Alamo"
