In 2018, elleng posted a story and recipe for black eyed peas

and I have made them every New Year since then. I am still reeling from the loss of her presence but I am sure to be thinking of her forever.

The recipe is included further down the thread if you can't get behind the paywall. Mine cook faster than the recipe says so I do not soak overnight. They are delicious the next day too.

Cheers, elleng, wherever you are!

It sounds perfect to have some greens - collard, mustard, kale, etc. - in the pot. erronis Dec 31 #5

For some reason bok choy loves my hydroponic system, where other greens, not so much. So I use it for my winter greens. marble falls Dec 31 #7

Also from a recipe handed down and that I make in celebration of the memory of the brother-in-law who perfected it and gave it to me.

Love to elleng and all who are mourning. I am grateful for you and for the ones who have gone before.
