Notes: One year Gramma asked me whether I was making black-eyed peas for New Year's Day. I asked her why would I be making that? She told me it was tradition and that a dime wrapped in foil was put in the pot and whoever got it would have good luck for the New Year. We adopted this tradition but I put a foil wrapped coin in each bowl. I didn't want to deal with the tears if someone didn't get one!
