Lee Traditions Katie's Cooking Tip & New Year's Tradition: * “Don’t overcook the beans; I use canned black-eyed peas, which don’t require a lot of cooking time. You can also add spices: Curry or Italian blends work well.” * “My mother and I always took walks together on New Year’s Day. Now that I live at the beach, I’m going to pick up one special shell and write the year on the back for a new collection.” |
