When I lived in California in the 70s I went all over the Valley looking for blackeyed peas at the grocery stores..for New Years...no luck.
Were they sold out - or just didn’t know the importance, therefore didn’t carry them?
Today I will bake baby back ribs, saurkraut, mashed potatoes and black-eyed peas. I have followed my Gramma’s tradition, and have made this meal January 1 for over 45 years.
