Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
Black eyed peas are a southern staple served on New Years Day. Eating black eyed peas on New Years Day is believed to bring good luck in the coming year. Not a year has gone by that this dish has not been eaten by an Engler, a Greer, a Giardina or a Miscioscia.
This custom is obviously true as the Engler family continues to be blessed with good fortune.
