Y'all tickle me! LMAO! I am a Southern girl! From LA- that's lower Alabama Lol! And you have to have eat black-eyed peas with hog jowl or salt pork on New Years day for good luck to ensure prosperity and fortune ! You soak the peas (after rinsing and sorting them to make sure you get any dirt and rocks out of course) then you soak them overnight (some will drain and rinse them again this is a personal choice) add the hog jowl or salt pork and cook all day on low heat till ready! But the thing is you have to have fried corn bread to go with it! yummy!!!!! And collards with pepper sauce are awesome!!! Serve that up with some fried chicken and it's so good it'll make you wanna smack your granny! Lol!
It's a southern thang but let me tell you, you have no idea what your missin! :)

  Ne new recipes this week?

I got this from the unmentionable MS:  bake an acorn squash, slice it crosswise into 1/2-3/4 " slices.  Cook frozen peas & put them in the slices, one per person.  It looks very pretty, keeps the peas in one place on the plate, & I found that my kids were more apt to try a molecule of squash served this way.

I suppose if you got real creative, you could have mashed potatoes in the squash, decorated w/peas.
