Happy New Year Aunty! I tried to get to as many people's places as I could in the short amount of time that I had. I liked your word play activities, I just didn't have the time to do them justice. Who knew Boxer would have that kind of turnout for what has to be the biggest virtual party I ever saw.

I'm liking the ham hocks and blackeyed peas. I have a leftover ham bone from the spiral ham we had last night that I hope to turn into Navy Bean Soup.

Again, Happy New Years to you and Uncle.

And a fine happy new year to you, Aunty! I'm lovin' your black-eyed peas. We're going the German route here with pork chops, brats and metts in saurkraut :)

Enjoy your lazy day, and best wishes for a fine 2011!

happy new year! your dish looks great. i have a pot like that too. my mother purchased it in germany yeaaaaars ago (decades ago, really). i like those pots. it's a bit of a different philosophy in serving food. you make pots pretty enough to put on the table.
we started the new year with french toast and sausage.
right now i'm cooking a stew with beef, sweet potatoes and blackeyed peas. enjoy your day! i'll be back later.

Mmmmm . . . our amuse buche for last night's dinner was perfectly seasoned black eyed peas and mustard greens. I could have easily eaten an entire bowl of the stuff, and darn the other courses!

BTW, drop by when you get a chance. You're a winner . . .

I'm making bread pudding for Mr. Boxer as a "thank you" for the last two days. But I'm sure he'd take some of your ham hocks and blackeyed peas. One thing I resolve to do of this year is making soup and black eyed peas are just so pretty.

Thank you Aunty for Co-Hosting the Game Room (different than Troll's fabulous Video game room.) I dubbed your blog, " The High IQ Blog" ahahaahaha. Probably why I didn't have much to contribute.

When you're finished cooking, can you come by? I have a video up.
