Although I did work today, I got up and made a can of black-eyed peas and fried a piece of ham for my brunch.

I have cabbage in the fridge but did not make any slaw. Boo. lol!

One of the managers today brought in broccoli and cheese casserole along with a pot of some of the BEST hoppin' john I've ever had. Asked for the recipe even. MMMMMM.

So I got my greens, beans and ham.

I used to have a New Year's Day open house where I made a huge pot of red beans along with black-eyed peas, cornbread, coleslaw and ham for folks. It was always a bunch of fun. I loved starting my New Year off with good times in the house. Maybe I'll do that next year if I'm not working.

No greens, beans or ham for me today. Crap! I totally spaced on it before work.

In my house, it was explained that the peas were for change, like pennies, the greens for green money and meat (usually ham) for good fortune/lack of want/need.

Maybe the deli in the grocery store next door has some things in their cooler...
