black-eyed peas...not the music group. the food. we have them every new year's day, time out of mind, in my Tuttle family, hearkening back to our southern roots. it's supposed to be good luck. so this year, we are not with/at the Tuttle family house, but we are carrying on the tradition and i am making black-eyed peas for kendall's family this year. should be fun.
what else? ethan got his first ear infection this last week, and that rounds out our year:) avery is getting better and better at batting at things hanging above her, and grabbing my hair, which is painful and cute at the same time. she has the best belly laugh in the world! it's so cute!
kendall is happily installed in doing my "honey-do" lists while he is on break from school. we've organized and cleaned, with more on the horizon, but i love to do it:)
i am looking forward to a great 2008 and i hope you all are as well. i must tell you that our camera finally went the way of all the earth (Lacey, i know you know how that is...those cybershots man...) so we are waiting on others to help us out by getting us pics of christmas etc. so when i have those, you will too:) love to you all near and dear out there...happy new year!

SO your cybershot finally went home huh? Our's actually still works, you just can't use the screnn...or see the picture after you take it...so basically it's worthless to me since I'm spoiled by the idea of a digital camera!
I love my new canon but still want a little pocket camera to tote around in my bag..I know, us girls, we are never happy....HAPPY NEW YEAR!
P.S Love me some black eyed peas..it was never a tradition to eat them on New Year's but we ate them so much during the year we made up for it! My pawpaw still grows them in his garden....sigh....
I've never even had black eyed peas! Are they good? My mom wasn't big on veggies. I had never even had broccoli until I got married!
Sounds yummy! I didn't have any black eyed peas so we are having lentil soup. Does that count?
I didn't know this was a southern tradition, but I also grew up in the South and always had black-eyed peas for New Years, too. What are you southern roots? I didn't know that! Did you know the peas symbolize good fortune (coins). We also had rice (good luck) and collard greens (green money). We had pork chops,too, just because they went well with everything else. I didn't cook them this year 'cause I forgot!! They're sitting in the cabinet just waiting to be eaten. Oops!
it was very yummy!! Thank you very much!
How do you prepare black eyed peas? What do you flavor them with? Let's see a good recipe.
