Ford made blackeye peas and collard greens for our lunch and dinner. I made a breakfast casserole with sausage, hash browns, onions, peppers and the usual eggs and milk. Here's a short explanation about this "lucky" meal:
Interestingly, black-eyed peas have played a part in end-of-year traditions for well over 1,000 years, black-eyed peas frequently show up during celebrations for the Jewish New Year, Rosh Hashanah, because they symbolize wealth and prosperity. It’s likely that Sephardic Jewish immigrants, after first arriving in Georgia, brought that tradition with them. The legume’s popularity may have simply spread because Southern slaves were already familiar with black-eyed peas; a number of African countries have used them in staple dishes for centuries.
I attended Stephanie's 9:00 a.m. ladies group golf lesson, then did some more putting in the afternoon when AA practiced. Ford and I enjoyed a drink on Talon's patio, then home. We were pretty boring and tired today!
