    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.

    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.

    Cabbage, but I'm not a cabbage fan . . . unless it is in a good coleslaw.

    i thought any kind of greens would do. so even a spinach salad would suffice i would think.
