I don't believe in superstitions. Could we please start putting a 13th floor in buildings. I mean come on already, the 13th floor is there they just put a 14 on it. It is really annoying!

P.S. It is not bad luck to walk under a ladder, stupid but not bad luck. Someone could drop something on you.

I will also have good luck this year (hopefully). Black eyed peas and cornbread and it was awesome.

I listened to the Black Eyed Peas and Green Day on my laptop. Does that count?

You're screwed, Gawd, so get prepared! :omg:

I'm the traditional Hoppin' John cook in this household and everyone coming by got a heaping supply of blackeyed-pea based Hoppin' John, cornbread, and my wife's of blackberry cake augmented with blackberry wine.

My to-die-for recipe is in this old blog article: Doug Dawgz Blog: New Years 2006 (http://dougdawg.blogspot.com/2006/12/new-years-2006.html)

Happy New Year!

We figured it was better to be safe than sorry, so we planned to pick up a couple of cans of black-eyed peas at Wal Mart while we were out doing some running around yesterday. But there weren't any to be had! They were totally sold out! :ohno: No canned peas.....no dry peas. I couldn't help but feel that there were probably a couple dozen cases of them in the back, but I suspect there wasn't enough help out on the floor to notice that they'd sold out. Crest had an ample supply, btw.

Mom and I stopped at the Pig Out Palace in Henryetta and they had black eyed peas. She was excited. I don't believe in it, but then again, I don't like eating them (or any vegetables).

All the republicans that ate it for 2008....the luck didn't help -censored-.

Always do; can't say it helps, but as DH said, "Well, we've never tried not eating them, so how do we know our 'luck' wouldn't have been worse?" :bright_id
