Subject: Re: [life-story-writing] Black-Eyed Peas for New Years

For those who have no clue as to why eating blackeyed peas and hog jowl on New Year's Dar is supposed to bring good luck. It goes back to the end of the civil war. The South was devistated and all their crops had perished. All that was left were blackeyed peas (used for livestock and slave feed at that time) and wild hogs running loose. The South literally lived on blackeyed peas and hog jowl for a year until new crops could be planted and harvested. Therefore they were considered to be "LUCKY" to have the two items.

Black-Eyed Peas for New Years

By: Linda DePeel

I am a more-or-le ss a devoted fan of the Food Network Channel, and I have gotten a lot of ideas from the various cooks/programs. Not that my "victims" always find my concoctions tasty every time, and some things (sea food, arugilla) are almost impossible to locate here in this part of Nebraska. Anyhoo--

I was watching Paula Deen awhile back (I just love her sweet southern drawl and her laugh!) and she was talking about eating black-eyed peas to bring good luck on New Years. So-- Linda has come up with another concoction--Jumping Jehoshaphat, Yeehaw!

I bought 3 cans (on sale--must be a reason). I will drain them well, give them a rinse, then gently cook them in some butter (Paula would hug me, fer shur!) and some chicken stock, little salt and pepper to taste, and maybe, just a freckle of tobasco sauce. I'm really hoping to wow everyone, but we shall see.

Does anyone have any "Black-Eyed Peas" stories to tell?

Happy New Year to Y'all!

Linda from Western Nebraska, where snow showers and flurries means "Be Afraid. Be Very Afraid".

"Even if I knew that tomorrow the world would go to pieces, I would still plant my apple tree." --Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.--

Famous Recipes - Cajun Fried Catfish - Mardi Gras

Cajun Fried Catfish - Mardi Gras
Serves 6 to 8

5 pounds catfish filets
1/2 cup prepared yellow mustard
1/4 cup Tabasco® sauce
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1/4 cup half and half cream
1/2 cup water
3 tablespoons dry white wine
2 cups white cornmeal
2 cups all-purpose flour
3 teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons black pepper
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon onion powder
cooking oil to deep fat fry the fish

Preheat the oil in a deep fat fryer to 375°F.

Cut the fish into 2 to 3 ounce pieces.

Combine mustard, Tabasco sauce, Worcestershire sauce,
cream, water, and wine in a large mixing bowl until
well blended. Put the white cornmeal in a food
processor and blend at high speed for 3 minutes. 
It will make the mixture much finer. Pour the mixture
into another large, dry mixing bowl and add the flour
and remaining ingredients, except for the cooking oil.
Mix well together with a flexible wire whisk until
well blended. Coat the fish pieces in the mustard
mixture, then roll the fish in the dry cornmeal
mixture.

Fry the fish in a deep fat fryer at 375°F. The fish
should float to the top of the grease and turn a
golden brown. Remove from the fryer and drain on a
stack of dry paper towels. Serve with French fries and
coleslaw.

Famous Recipes - Cajun Boiled Shrimp - Mardi Gras

Cajun Boiled Shrimp - Mardi Gras

1 gallon cold water
2 tablespoons salt
12 whole black peppercorns
5 whole bay leaves
1 large lemon, sliced
1 medium onion, quartered (leave the skin on)
2 stalks celery, chopped
3 cloves garlic, crushed
10 whole cloves
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped
4 sprigs fresh parsley, whole
2 tablespoons sugar
2 fresh cayenne peppers, cut in half (or you can use
pickled)
2 pounds fresh shrimp tails, unpeeled (21 to 25 to a
pound count)

In a large stock pot over high heat combine all the
ingredients except for the shrimp, and bring to a hard
rolling boil. Let the mixture hard boil for 5 minutes,
then reduce to a low rolling boil. Add the shrimp.
Once the liquid begins to boil again, wait exactly 3
minutes; then turn the heat off. Let the shrimp stand
in the liquid for 5 more minutes. Drain the shrimp and
serve at once.

Lagniappe:
Plain boiled shrimp are great alone. Just cover your
table with old newspapers and place the shrimp right
in the middle of the table --Cajun style. Serve with a
cold, crisp green salad or coleslaw, French bread, and
a seafood sauce of your choice. It is simple food at
its best.

If you wish to serve the shrimp chilled, drain the hot
shrimp and cover immediately with ice. Once the shrimp
are cold, put them in an airtight container and
refrigerate until you are ready to serve.
Refrigerated, they will keep nicely for 24 hours. You
can hold them for longer, but they begin to lose their
quality. Never keep them for longer than 2 days.
