Jammin' Last Night

Indian Diced Potatoes With Greens From Alison's Lunch

From Alison's Lunch' a great new year's treat and photo. Says Alison. " Eating black-eyed peas and collards on New Year’s Day is supposed to bring prosperity in the coming year. I’ve read that collards are supposed to symbolize greenbacks, and I guess black-eyed peas represent coins? Even if you’re not superstitious, in today’s financial climate, it’s probably wise to eat collards… I can think of several concrete ways that collards can boost your budget." Looks great Alison.
