In 2018, elleng posted a story and recipe for black eyed peas [View all]

and I have made them every New Year since then. I am still reeling from the loss of her presence but I am sure to be thinking of her forever.

The recipe is included further down the thread if you can't get behind the paywall. Mine cook faster than the recipe says so I do not soak overnight. They are delicious the next day too.

Cheers, elleng, wherever you are!
