Happy New Year
There's a southern tradition that eating black eyed peas on New Year's Day brings good luck. I wouldn't consider myself southern (though Maryland is south of the Mason-Dixon line), but why tempt fate, especially when Hoppin' John is easy to make, and tasty too?
Of course, the rats had some too.
Bandit
Rabskuttle
Jack
The green stuff is greens (turnip, kale, and mustard), which theoretically bring financial prosperity in the new year. With our vet bills, that'd be a good thing. The corn bread, as far as I know, doesn't mean anything but corn bread. The rats do love it, though.
Here's wishing everyone a happy and healthy new year!
