Hey Tonks

[simplyred]

P love seeing the pics of the girls at Christmas.

What are you guys doing for New Years?

 

[tonksy]

Making pizza and watching football/movies on NYE...NYD will be sausage and cabbage and more football.
Basically we are staying in...too many crazy folks out there. I might see about picking up some lame (Kid friendly) fireworks if we come across any.
Ya'll?

 

[simplyred]

Going to hear a speaker the afternoon of NYE, then staying in and playing board games. NYD having Ham, cabbage, and blackeyed Peas at Sues.

 

[tonksy]

Sue cooks cabbage?

 

[simplyred]

Yes. And she is making ColeSlaw since I don't eat cooked cabbage. (unless in a cabbage roll)

 

[tonksy]

Huh...
Have fun!

 

[simplyred]

I'm going for the black eyed peas and cornbread!!!

 

[tonksy]

I must be the only Southerner that hates black eyed peas...the hull is too rough for me. It's a texture thing. I'll do white limas instead...but not this year I don't think.

 

[simplyred]

Have you tried cooking them down with onions?

 

[tonksy]

Yeah...I just don't like 'em....they gonna take back my Southerner card?

 

[Slim Pickens]

Maybe...


BTW, no, Sue Ellen does NOT cook cabbage...we will be having cole slaw

 

[simplyred]

Maybe...


BTW, no, Sue Ellen does NOT cook cabbage...we will be having cole slaw

Yes she does because she was going to. You just found out tonight that we were only have cole slaw because she didn't bother to tell you about the cabbage because she knows the cole slaw is your favorite. love you

AS a matter of fact, I think the only one of us who eats cooked cabbage is "stepdaddy". Now who gets their southern card revoked???

 

[simplyred]

Yeah...I just don't like 'em....they gonna take back my Southerner card?

Speaking of southern card...I don't eat mustard greens and I still hold my southern card proudly!

 

[tonksy]

I do like field peas...they're almost interchangable.
Do you like collards or turnip greens?

 

[simplyred]

No. Icky Icky. Some people have said that I just haven't had them cooked right. But I just don't like the way they smell.

 

[tonksy]

Ah! I understand. That's what the vinegar is for! About an hour into cooking I put a jigger or 2 of vinegar in it...kills that bitter smell.

 

[simplyred]

Yeah, and that is how my mom cooks them...I still just don't like them. Oddly enough I love spinach

 

[tonksy]

No biggie, you're a big girl and you can pick your own damn vegetable selection
I loooove spinach! You should try that spinch rice casserole recipe I posted!

 

[simplyred]

It looked good. Have you had Spinach Madeline?

If greens are cooked too long they start to flly break down and give off this really rank chemical smell. Perhaps all of your attempts at greens eating have been too pummelled to be properly tasty.
