You're talking about one of my favorite meals, black-eyed peas and white
grainy cornbread with red onions on top. My kids never liked them, so I
never made them eat them. My daughter is in Alabama now, and she makes them
for her hubby, but she said she still doesn't like them. mmmmmmmmmm Those
were the good days since I only make them on New Years now.
