Monthly Ingredient Update - October - Black-eyed Peas

So...obviously I have not been around in a while. But I know you are not suprised. Currently the farm is in a hold pattern due to the weather and the fact that we just planted grass seed in the cleared 16 acres and are waiting for it to spread. We need to get our tractor up and running again so that we can cut it. It sufferred after a 6 inch rained moved it 30 yards through our lower field.

On to the monthly ingredient...I figured that maybe if I start now I will actually post some recipes this time. Black-eyed peas are one of my favorite vegetables, but I only really eat them one way. Boiled in water or stock with a nice chunk of salt pork served over fresh baked sweet cornbread. MMMM...

I will need to do a little research to find some good recipes and I have every intention of using fresh peas as they are far superior to the mush that comes in a can.
