I saw them in the supermarket yesterday and I remembered they were supposed to bring good luck, so what the hell do i do with them?

[griffin]

new years day..........your a little late.But eat em anyway can't hurt!

[y2kflhr]

this is close to a new year for me anyway...but what do you do with them beside boil them?

[griffin]

well down in texas we put some bacon and seasoning salt in em and boil until tender ....assuming you bought dry peas !

[y2kflhr]

I don't have bacon so I will salt them up and boil, yeah the are dry.

[griffin]

might put some onion in ......enjoy!

[y2kflhr]

cool, I have onion......wish me luck

Since you don't have any bacon, do you have any kind of ham? A little pork flavor really does kick them up a notch.

I have ice cubes....a couple of beers, and a package of hot dogs....I need to relearn how to food shop.

Follow the directions on the package, and be sure that you sort them. Just pour a few in your hand at a time and pick out any bad ones and any gravel. Hurts like hell to bite down on a rock. Do it, it doesn't take very long.

Pay no attention to these goys and their suggestions of pork...

Throw a ham hock in the pot a bermuda onion and salt. Cook til tender.
Save the pot licker for some collard greens.
Ham hock, collard greens and black-eyed peas.
Good for the soul.

actually I already lost my appetite and just threw the bag back in the closet..a couple of mrs. gunworks cookies will do just fine for dinner.
