Onion, garlic, ham bone, rotel. Cornbread, mmm. Can't wait until they're done! I think I'll have two bowls for added luck. I feel good about 2007.

What about the collard greens? |
|
|
You need cabbage and hog jowl along with those black eyed peas for luck!
|
|
How do you prepare the compact disc?
Just dice it up? Put it in a blender??? |
|

Not a big fan of collard greens. |
||
|
Me neither....Just saying hello. Hope you enjoy your dinner and the new year. |
|||
|
Quit playing on the internet and get back to cooking my beans, woman.
|
|
Collards are best with smoked ham hocks, pepper flacks and sea salt. it is a meal just by it's self. |
|||
|
Dowhat?! Collards, cornbread and sweet tea...that's a meal in itself! |
|||
|
I'm having some....
Black-eyed peas cooked with the Christmas ham bone. With raw onions and homemade chow chow. Fresh collards cooked with some ham hocks. Pork Ribs Cornbread |
|
Now this, my friends, is the correct way to start the year. |
|
|
Now that's a fine sounding meal. |
|
|
The wife is in charge of the New Years Day meal. I am responsible for watching football.
|
|
Yes, well, at least it's a Southern tradition according to my parents, and it's supposed to be with collard greens. Eating collards on New Years Day lays the foundation for a happy and prosperous year. edited for speeling |

|
You took my question. |
|
|
Alrighty then |
||
|
Collards for dollars. Peas for pennies. |
|
|
Per Wikipedia
|

|
Come to think of it, the last time I had them they weren't too bad. Covered in butter and salt and pepper. Total soul food. Maybe next year. |
||||
|
Black eyed peas and rice...We called them "Hop'n Johns" when I was kid..but now that I live in Oklahoma we'll just be having chili today
|
|
We cooked the peas and collards yesterday because we know they are better the second day. I had to taste them to... Yummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm All I got to say is I am going to be a farting SOB tomorrow. |

Let me guess, your man's name is Earl? |
|
|
Yep!
Here's my main entree for today (along with my black-eyed peas)... www.ar15.com/forums/topic.html?b=1&f=5&t=532454 ETA: All your page 2s are belong to me! |
|
Sweet! We're smoking some ribs, too. I forgot to put them in the list! |
|
|
We don't like to think of it as soul food, more like Southern food. |

Ham, black-eyed peas, turnips and greens, cabbage and corn bread!
|
|
Jeez, I'm stunned to say this cuz I thought someone would have beat me to it....
In before the Fergie joke/pics. |
|
We have a Yankee at work who has "heard" of black eye peas but never had any...
WTF I knew yous guys were a bit weird but this is ridicules! |
|
Yes to the above ! If your a making, I am a coming. Please. |
|
|
never had any either. BTW i thought you were supposed to eat cabbage for good luck on new years day. today i upheld my own personal traditions by eating chinese food. (cabbage in eggrolls) |
|
|
Yes. After the close of the War of Northern Aggression it was said that Southerners would be lucky if they had black eyed peas to eat in the coming new year. From what I've been told it started either in Richmond or through Sherman's march route. |
|
|
Mine too. Never heard of this. I figured SP1Grrl just wanted some soul food. |

|
Corned beef and cabbage for the wife's side of the family.
Just finished leaning out four pounds of that wonderful stuff. |
|
Wife has a pot of Black eye's on the stove right now.
Oh, and collards rock. |
|
Ours will be ready in about an hour. Got quite a kick to them this year. I'll have to try collard greens next year if someone will give me a good way to cook them. |
|
|
Actually the black eyed peas are supposed to be cooked with hog jowl. I had 2 bowls. With cornbread and green onions.
|
|
To 3 pounds greens, add 1 pint of gasoline. Toss. Apply match or other source of ignition (from a distance). Allow to burn furiusly until greens are cindered. Use leaf blower to disperse cinders. Enjoy remainder of meal. |
|
|
Heh, love the avatar pic |
|
|
I guess pork and sauerkraut is a Pennsylvania thing then? That's what I had!
|
|
OK We cooked a lot so adjust if nececery Greens from 14 collards about 7 bunches 1/2 cup sugar 1 to 1 1/4 quart of Cider vinegar 2 tbs of red pepper to taste Salt and black pepper to taste 4 ham hocks water 1 tbs onion powder 1 tbs garlic powder Wash your collards twice then take the stems off and tear into small pieces. Wash again and put in a large stock pot with everything except the water. Just cover with water and simmer for 3 hours. When the greens have all turned a deep green adjust the seasoning. It is better the next day. |

We chow down in a hour or so. They are on the menu, of course.
|
|
Sounds good. Thanks for the how-to. I wrote it down. |
