Ok everybody, what is your tradition? We are going to do the standard: cornbread, greens, black-eyes with smoked sausage. I don't know about sweeties. A pie, maybe? What are y'all cooking? Happy New Year folks. Thanks for the best Tiger football season of my life. :geaux:
What was the superstition? Black-eye peas for luck and something else was for wealth? We'll probably cook a yard strutta in a sauce piquante.
