It is an old Texas tradition to have Black Eyed Peas on New Years day. It is for luck and prosperity for the coming year. I have never eaten these before but thought after the year I had I need to make some changes for 2010 and I might as well start with traditions. My sister eats cabbage. I didn't know what it was for so I looked it up online and it says you eat cabbage because it is green and it is for money. I didn't have any cabbage so we all ate celery (hopefully it is a good proxy) because it is green also. (this is also the first time I have ever had cornbread and I must say I have been missing out on this delishiousness for many years!)
