Quilter Quandry






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?
