Re: Holiday Food

I have to add to all this food talk..... I grew up loving black eyed peas...
we would always plant a couple of long rows with the cotton.  We had 80
acres of cotton... anyway I loved catsup on them.  I now love fresh salsa
and one friend from Brazil would put black eyed peas on top of rice with
fresh salsa on the top... very pretty and very good.
