I know it's a crazy superstition, but it hasn't worked for me yet. LOL

The black-eyed peas are suppose to bring you good luck, and the greens are supposed to help you get more CA$H! :)

That's a southern tradition, right? Up here, especially if you grew up in a home of German descent, it's cabbage. My mom made corned beef and cabbage every New Year's. Some people eat Rueben's, or some variation of saurkraut, or cole slaw, at least. I'm making cooked cabbage, sans corned beef. I don't care for meat, and don't need the calories. I do love the cabbage, although it hasn't worked yet, either!
Since my fiance is a carnivore (aren't all men?) I'm making a small ham to appease him. Huge Idaho baking potatoes and rolls will round out the meal. Pretty simple, but it'll be good.
You must be a dyed-in-the-wool southerner, Mike! You got the drawl, too? I'm a fool for a southern accent!

Is there a tradition for this? I live in Australia and I have never heard of this...
Please give more information for your Antipodean cousins...
Happy New Year

I decided to give up the greens and peas this year. No matter how much I eat, I still need more money than I get.

I eat them twice a week as part of my body building diet and tomorrow is one of those days.
