New Year’s eve we went to looking in the freezer for the black eyed peas….Gasp, we were out….But no problem as I hopped into the car for a few block trip to the store to make the purchase that would assure us good luck for 2017. I looked and looked but could not find them. I had to ask a clerk to help me. We hurried over to the black eyed pea department and guess what…double gasp, they were out. So I drove several more block to another supermarket, found the black eyed peas  right away. I bought 4 packages just to be sure we had enough and some for during the year if the first batch did not bring good enough luck, we could then have another mess….well, I’m not sure I really believe all that stuff…but just in case, I’m going ahead and eating a batch and yeah, I’ll probably fortify them from time to time during the year…You never know, right?
