Peas, Lobster, Carrots???....
The old saying goes that you should eat black-eyed peas for good financial luck throughout the coming year. So far, that has not been very successful for moi. So, I am looking for some new suggestions.
First, I asked Connie, a delightful friend for advice. She hates peas. She told me that she had asked another friend in Atlanta if she had eaten the peas. She said, "No, I had lobster. Po' folks eat black-eyed peas and stay po'. Rich folks eat lobster and stay rich."
Next, I asked my son, Chris, if he ate peas. He also hates peas, and he is a student studying Oriental medicine/culture. He said, according to Asian belief, one must eat something orange for 28 consecutive days to get financial bliss
Now, I have just two questions before I begin--does Lobster sauce count? and, what about orange Peeps? Jelly Bellies? Candy Corn?
Suggestions?
let's see ..
ReplyDeleteshrimp in lobster sauce - pure Oriental bliss !
How about chocolate covered orange slices ? YUMmy !
jelly belly - well, that is a little too close to my personal description after the holiday cookies so I'll take a pass on that one...
orange sweet potato biscuits slathered in golden butter ? to drool for
how about mandarin orange smoothies ? that's my usual breakfast ...
ok, now I'm starving and need to get a handful of my orange carrots ...
I like your train of thought!
