  1. As a Midwesterner transplanted in the South, we reserve black-eyed peas for New Years, but this looks like a cool dinner for a hot summer night!

  7. this is such a wonderful idea. Life often sends up curves that are difficult enough to handle on our own, but when one of the basics of life, food, is taken care of at these difficult times it is a God send.
