D'Ann, ohhhhhhhhhh I should have come and ate with you. Love those greens. What kind did you have? Linda

I don't know much about tradition lately, but I did cook up a batch of collards. No left overs!
And blackeye peas three ways.
A cheesy, somewhat spicy, tangy bean dip for an appetizer.
A polenta/scrapple loaf that was refried and served in strips with a ketchup like sauce.
And baked black eyes. Mmmmm.
Cornbread too.
All went so well with the baked ham.

Roast Pork, Sauerkraut, mashed potatoes. It was YUM-O! Happy New Year!

When growing up, the thing was blackeyed peas w/ ham or fat back, my Granny's homemade sauerkraut (eck), greens (eck) lol, buttermilk cornbread, and green onions from the store (since it was the middle of winter in NC) and all the fresh cow's milk you could drink.

Those were the days.
