anybody that lives in the South knows that New Year's Day, you have to have black-eyed peas
0:12
You just have to, whether you have them in a salad or
0:20
gosh, sometimes I just lose my words. Black-eyed peas and rice. Mm-hmm
0:28
What do we call that? I can't remember. Hoppin' Johns. Hoppin' Johns
0:32
It's crazy, the smallest words that trip me up. So I love them in Hoppin' Johns
0:38
with that hot buttered rice and the peas on top and a little onion on the side
0:43
It is so, so good. But we eat our black-eyed peas because supposedly they bring us good luck
0:51
throughout the new year. So we're all scammering to get, if it's nothing but a spoonful of black-eyed peas
0:59
We got to go in there and get our look, don't we? All right, so what are we gonna do first, Casey
1:05
We're gonna add a can of black-eyed peas, and this is just a 15 and a half ounce can. Okay
1:11
And you can do fresh. If you've got fresh, you know, you can use those
1:15
Then we have tomato. Okay. And that looks like about a half a cup
1:21
You have six tablespoons of green onions. Okay And those are gonna make it taste so good Half of a large red bell pepper and a half of a green bell pepper Okay and those are gonna give it that crunch that I love so much in salads
1:39
And we have a little jalapeno pepper. And this is a whole pepper of about two tablespoons chopped
1:44
And it's seeded, right? Mm-hmm, yep. Then we're gonna have a fourth of a cup
1:49
of parsley, basil, and cilantro. Oh, there's the... I'm trying to see if I can look or smell the difference
2:05
One was parsley. This is the cilantro, I believe. I don't know
2:12
Or is that the parsley? This is the parsley and I think that's the basil. Okay
2:18
I can't smell anything now but jalapenos. But anyway, yeah, a little bit of cilantro
2:24
In fact, I know I've told y'all this before, but Jamie won't eat cilantro
2:29
He said it tastes like he's eating soapy water. And I've heard more than one person say that
2:35
So I guess it depends on your little glands. Yep. Then we have 3 4th cup of olive oil
2:42
Uh huh. And then a fourth of a cup of balsamic vinegar. Okay
2:46
To make your dressing. And the longer this sits in the fridge y'all
2:54
the better it gonna be And of course depending on your palate A little bit of salt and pepper Oh depending on your palate you can put anything in this salad
3:07
that you really, really like, or take anything out that you don't like
3:13
So it's strictly up to you. You could probably add some rice, cold rice
3:20
Yeah, you could. I used to make a lot of cold rice salads
3:26
when I started the bag lady. Trying to think of things that people could put
3:34
in their refrigerator at work and it still tastes good. So this is awfully pretty
3:42
Needs to be in a little smaller bowl. Well, you know who gave you that bowl
3:47
Aunt Peggy. Oh yes, our last visit, she thought you could use this for our shows, so
3:53
Okay, Aunt Peggy, thank you. Thank you, Aunt Peggy. Yeah, I've got to go back home and make another trip
4:01
because Aunt Peggy is to the age where she is wanting to declutter and become a
4:11
Minimalist. Minimalist, yes. Thank you for reading my tongue. Aunt Peggy, one day she's like me
4:23
She couldn't remember the simplest word and she walked up to me and she said here read that word on my tongue And I trying to say Oh she so cute
4:38
She is too cute for words. So let's see what it tastes like right now, Casey
4:45
without it sitting in the fridge and gaining flavor. Isn't that delicious
4:58
So good. Easy to make, so good. And easy to eat. That's right
5:07
I think it could stand a little bit more salt. What do you think? Yep, just a little tad
5:13
There we go. So we're just gonna cover this, put it in the fridge
5:17
And like I said, it's gonna get better and more better as it sits. Mm-hmm
5:25
So that's it. It's that easy. New Year's Day. And you gotta make sure everybody eats some
5:34
Cause you don't wanna be the only one walking around gassy. Right
5:40
That's right. as well as a notification bell to be alerted when I post a video
5:58
Loving best dishes y'all
