...and collard greens for good luck and good wealth. Add some cornbread, football, beer, bloody mary's and good friends... what better way to start the year?

Perform random acts of kindness for good Kharma.

Wishing ALL y'all a happy, healthy and prosperous New Year. I love you guys... you know who you are.

Be good,

Santa

cents but no green backs, I must be to old if I know the answer to that

As was told to me, the peas were for good luck, and the greens were for wealth (greenbacks, folding money?).  You make your own kharma.  I just know that when I cook up a mess of the stuff, the house fills up with friends... and that works for me.

Be good,
Santa

Even though I'm a native Atlantan, and do not spend a New Years Day without black-eyed peas and, yes, Hog Jowls, I just do not crave Collards and have taken to Corned beef and Cabbage instead.  Is this sacrilege, and if so, is there a God of Cole crops that I can offer a sacrifice to for my transgression?
