You can't imagine the importance that the people in the south put on eating the right New Years meal. Its superstitious, but who doesn't want luck and money??? So.....we join in on the festivities and have black eyed peas, ham, greens and cornbread on the 1st along with 99.999% of the people around here.
My poor son.....he refused to eat it. When something happens in 2017 I'll be reminding him of the meal he COULD have eaten and avoided whatever bad luck or costly event that happens. [:D]

About to have a roast beast sammich for lunch. [^]
Pork and Sauerkraut here in Pennsylvania Amish Country.
Doesn't hold anything up against *, WV.!!
Might be VA. I'm not sure.
It was delicious [^][^][^][^][^][^]

I still claim immunity. After all, I haven't had the required Southern New Years meal for 31 years now, and my luck has been spectacularly good.
I browned then pressure cooked a nice bone in rib roast. Added some sauerkraut apple sauce and a touch of brown sugar cooking it another 10 minutes.
It was delicious [^][^][^][^][^][^]
I hope that is a pork roast. 'cause I've never seen beef that color...
The story of how black-eyed peas came to be a symbol of good luck in the South has not been told, for the most part, except in Southern homes, in fear that feelings of Northern friends and family would be hurt. Even today when it is told those people call it a "myth", or an isolated story blown out of proportion. But it's the truth, and it's time for everyone to know it. The following are facts that CONFEDERATE, multi-generational Southerners know because we heard it in our grandmother's kitchens, who heard it in their grandmother's kitchens, who heard it from their grandmothers. It is written in our family Bibles, diaries, letters and in old newspaper articles. It's a story of a "scorched-earth" policy, war perpetrated on civilians left at home while their fighting men were defending against illegal invasion. War heaped on defenseless women, innocent children and unarmed old men. This has never been admitted to in 151 years, much less seen as a war crime. The truth is, this was the policy of the greatest country on earth trying to acquire "nation" status that was never conferred on it by the Founders, at all costs. At all costs. An empire that never was supposed to be, grinding into powder whatever and whomever got in its way. And like the lying monster it has become, it hides its deeds amidst smoke and mirrors called "slavery".
An unhealed wound remains in southern states today because of a simple lack of acknowledgement on deeds that would quickly be judged as "WAR CRIMES AGAINST SOUTHERN CIVILIANS" to quote Mr. Brian Cisco in his much acclaimed work published in 2013.
The fact of black eyed peas being considered good luck relates directly back to Sherman's unleashing hell on Southern civilians known as the "march to the sea" in 1864. It was called The Savannah Campaign and was lead by a demon-possessed man that made General in the US army. The campaign began in November of 1864 when Sherman 's troops marched from the captured city of Atlanta, Georgia and ended at the port of Savannah on December 22, 1864.
When the smoke literally, finally cleared, the southerners who had survived the onslaught came out of hiding. They found invading aggressors in an army, that called itself the US ARMY, was filled with foreigners tricked into fighting and told to "plunder the South." And they did. These mostly foreigners had looted and stolen everything of value, destroyed what they could not carry away, and everything edible, including livestock, and crops in stores and in the field, were destroyed. They even killed animals and shoved their bloated bodies into wells to poison them. While in hiding few had enough to eat, now starvation, destruction, disease, lack and want were upon women, children and old men.
There was no government aid, no Red Cross, no Samaritan's Purse, and the churches and members were all in the same shape. The animals that might have been hunted, of course, had abandoned the woods and trees when the shelling and burning began. It was, quite literally, intentional genocide. Our people were starving.
BUT GOD....there was one thing left.
You see, the foreigners and Northern Americans in the Union arny were taking grain for their horses, livestock and other crops to feed themselves, but they just couldn't take everything. So they left the black eyed peas in great quantities thinking them only livestock fodder, and assuming stores of them would be of no use to the survivors because all the stock that they could feed had either been taken, eaten, or left to rot on the lawns of civilians.
Our people praised God for the stupidity of the invaders and had something to feed their starving children and themselves. In the face of massive, wide-spread starvation and ruin, God gave them the black eyed pea to live on. And they were GRATEFUL. That is a foreign concept in our society, but very well known in theirs.
Beginning on New Year's Day in 1866, the CONFEDERATE Southern custom of eating black eyed peas flamed across the devastated Southland. We multi-generational, CONFEDERATE Southerners eat black eyed peas, even if we don't like them. We do so to thank God for not allowing Sherman and the illegal invaders to wipe us out completely, and we do so to remember our starving families. We will NEVER forget. Never.
Besides, only can the truly hungry appreciate food.
Now, go eat your black eyed peas with a skillet of cornbread and greens, or cabbage with ham or chicken and dressing, for prosperity in the new year.

I tried to cook a bone in ribeye roast one year for Christmas. That sucker took FOREVER and when it was finally done it was still red as could be in the middle. I can live with "medium"....but I can't handle rare. I've not ventured out much when it comes to cooking. If it can't be done in a crock pot I'm going to be lost. I can cook eggs and simple things, but if there are several steps and a lot of measuring you can count me out.
If you can't feel the music; it's only pink noise!

Hmmm.... don't think I've ever seen a bone in pork roast like that. It has potential. I've gotten bone in chops, but not the whole roast..... Will need to have a talk with my butcher....

This may be another disparity between the north and south...
I have fixed several 'standing rib' pork roasts over the years and even a couple lying flat. They are truly delicious when slow roasted with a good rub. Smoking works well also.
Best.
I just hate pork and most German dishes.
You havent had real BBQ then...
(not a fan of the Black Eyed peas either...)

I am just not a pork or sausage fan, especially bratwurst. I do like ribs to an extent. I was raised by my grandmother from Sicily, and she made all Italian food. Donna's family being of Scottish and German decent, Loves their foods. My fathers side is from Scotland and My moms side is from Italy. Best of both worlds when it comes to food. My sister took me to a real Texas BBQ. It was fun and the food okay, I am just not use to it. So I guess your right, Haven't really had any REAL BBQ, just once. We have lots of BBQ stands and stuff here, just not my thing.
So Pizza with no spice? That is your idea of the best of both worlds Oakie?[:0]
Yum ! Yum !
Thanks !!!
I Grew Old Too Fast (And Smart Too damn Slow !!!) !!!
And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain
Had left over prime rib on sandwich. Best Samich I have ever had.
Me, too. It was melt-in-your-mouth tender. [:p]
Chicken Cordon Bleu tonight so I'm still eatin' good. [:)]
They also have huge nutritional value. [:D]
