Luck, Money and Chicken


Down in the South, we have a New Year's tradition: On New Year's you must eat blackeyed peas for luck, and greens for money. Rice and fried chicken are optional, but hey, you might as well start the new year off right. I cook spinach, because I dislike collard greens. But any leafy green will do. I didn't do bone-in chicken, since it's too much for just two people, just some chicken breasts. But here's a tip, get the thin-sliced breast, sometimes called scallopine. That way, once the chicken goes into the pan, the inside is done when the outside is. Saving chicken from burning, that's all I'm doing, folks.
So serve up some luck, money and chicken to your loved ones and raise a glass with me. Good bye 2008, hello 2009.

Here's to auld lang syne. Thanks for reading.
