FOND FOOD FLASHBACK Each month I look forward to seeing your magazine at my local Kroger. January’s issue contained an article [“Superstitions & Sustenance”] that brought back memories from my earliest childhood. Like many, if not all Arkansans, I was taught that I simply must consume black-eyed peas on New Year’s Day. I didn’t know why this was so, but there were things children in my day did not question. I can’t remember any pressure to eat greens, so maybe that was optional at my house. Had I known about the money connection, I’m sure that I would have been more eager to share in that tradition. Today black-eyed peas and turnip greens are among my favorite foods and I enjoy them on days other than New Year’s. Thank you for bringing back fond memories. Judy Spears Little Rock, AR
