Today I wanted to share with y'all a recipe that I love! It is a black-eyed peas recipe that usually you can make at New Years for good luck, but also at other times of the year as well. It's called Hoppin' John.
I found this particular recipe at a website called On Southern Cooking which is run by a professor of mathematics at my alma mater, the U of Alabama.
Hoppin' John
1 cup of dried uncooked black eye peas
2 14-16 oz cans good quality beef broth (do not use condensed broth)
1 onion, peeled and chopped1 packet ham boullion (Goya brand, for example)
1 pound roll of bulk whole hog pork sausage
1/3 cup uncooked instant rice
1 14-16 oz can tomato wedges
Slice the sausage into at least 10 patties and cook in a skillet until done. Remove the sausage to a plate, cut each patty in half, and add the onion to the skillet; cook onion until it is tender.Pick over the peas and wash in scalding hot water. Add the peas, beef broth, sausage, onions, and ham boullion to a pot and stir throughly. Bring to a boil over high heat, cover, and allow to stand for about an hour. Then bring the mixture to a boil, reduce heat, and allow to boil slowly until the peas are completely tender, but not mushy (about 45-60 minutes). Carefully stir in the rice and tomatos, turn off heat, and allow to stand for about five minutes to heat the mixture and cook the rice. Stir carefully. Serve hot with hot buttered corn bread.
Instead of tomato wedges, I use a can of diced tomatoes with jalepenos. You can also use ground beef instead of sausage if you prefer.

"I believe that no matter what you do, no matter how hard you try, you can not baptize cats." - Larry the Cable Guy
A Tennessee man and an Alabama man were both fighting in a war and were captured by the enemy.
"Before we put you to death," said the enemy, "do you have any last requests?"
"Yes," said the Alabaman. "Could you play 'Yeah, Alabama' before you shoot me?"
"Sure," said the enemy. "How about you, Tennessean?"
"Could you shoot me before you play 'Yeah, Alabama?'"
