Tradition

? ? ?
Here in Texas, the yearly "good luck" ritual is eating black-eyed peas on New Year's Day. Because my husband's grandparents were Irish/German, they had to have corned beef and cabbage on New Year's Day to assure a prosperous year.

In Indiana, I grew up eating ham and cabbage for New years. Steve's family is all about the black-eyed peas (which I think are disgusting!). We compromised and have both.

Ha! So do we! Rob doesn't like the black-eyed peas, but he'll eat a small spoonful just for safety's sake! ;)
