I had
been thinking about New Year’s Day over the last few weeks. I knew that I would not be cooking such a meal
in the RV, but I had really hoped that Tim and I could at least eat black-eyed
peas and collard greens. New Year’s Day
just wouldn’t be the same without them. But the closer we got to the day, the more pessimistic
I became. We wouldn’t be in the South,
so we couldn’t even find them in a restaurant.
In desperation,
I had considered buying a can of black-eyed peas and frozen collard greens, but
even forgot that idea during our last shopping trip. Things were not looking promising. But, as luck would have it, we stopped for
lunch yesterday in Folkston, Georgia, at the Okefenokee Restaurant. Lunch was a traditional Southern buffet and
included black-eyed peas and turnip greens (I prefer collard greens, but turnip
greens will do). We enjoyed our lunch
and ordered one to go. I was a happy
camper!
Tim and
I just finished eating our black-eyed peas and turnip greens, and now our luck
is assured for this coming year. What a
relief!
