The Hog Tradition

*rolling eyes* I hate being showed up by a Pink person that knows more about my history than me....LMAOOOOOOOOOO

seriously though I am gonna try that dish! Learn something new everyday!! 

We always did black eyed peas and cornbread also. I might get a can (yeah I know)...hubby don't eat either black eyed peas OR cornbread! I gotta try the money in da pocket thang though!!!

Lena *gasp* no you didn't say the CANNNNNNNNNNN

Shame on you...shame on you!!!!

Every Black person (even half black.lol) I know....knows how to cook peas from scratch!

Hubby probably ain't eating them because yo azz ain't cookin em right LMAOOOOOOOOO 

He doesn't like any of that stuff!!! Seriously. I do know how to make crap from scratch, a lot of times I just DON'T. I done already revoked his card for not eating corn bread or collards!! 

Don't let her lie to you--she lubs her some of her husband cornbread or not. She ain't revoking shiot.

Okay I have to ask just outta curiousity

do you make rice from scratch? and mashed potatoes box or from scratch?

*thinking this might have to be another post* LOL 

Cornbread from scratch
Mashed potatoes from scratch...HATE box shiot!
Rice from scratch too. I don't do the boil-in-a-bag...funny you ask cuz my MIL was telling me to try when we were down there for the holidays!

For this I use the bag rice because it mixes up better but if I'm having rice usually with gravy it's homemade.  Potatoes I have never made from a box. 

I cook a pork roast and greens every New Year for good luck and money. 
My Grandmother (RIP) used to make hog head cheese (sous meat) from scratch every New Year. 
We would watch her make that nasty shiot and it was disgusting.  I never liked it but my sister did....needless to say, after watching her grind up the whole hog head (literally) she never ate that again. 

hog head ew ew ew ewwwwwwwwwww

Girl why your folks got to go there with every part of the hog??!!!
