Black Eyed Peas

Its spring but it doesn’t feel like it. Its quite windy out and the sun barely made a showing today. I just feel lie winter should be over so that spring can do its thing. It was nice and sunny Sunday – abundant sunshine- and I slept most of the day away after running the marathon.

So, tonight as I came home I was so excited to just be able to be home and not have to go anywhere. I stopped in at the coffee shop. They had a black-eyed pea soup with vegetables. It seemed like it could be tasty. However, I instantly remembered black-eyed peas from my childhood. And, that memory didn’t include me eating them because in my mind – that was adult food. I can’t even remember the last time I had black eyed peas, must be years. I’m glad tonight I decided to give myself a new memory. I tried a sample of the soup and loved it. It was a nice consistency. The soup was a gravy brown with peas, carrots and corn. Man, who would have thought that the combination would be so yummy. I’m going to have to start looking for black eyed peas on menus.
