NOTES : New Years Tradition: Southerners are famous for eating a New Year's stew

of black-eyed peas and rice called Hoppin' John to bring luck for the rest of

the year. Whether or not you believe the superstition, finishing off a big plate

of this combination of black-eyed peas and rice can be a delicious way to start

the year. Almost every cook who prepares this harbinger of good fortune creates

his or her own version. Although this recipe skips the customary rice and ham or

bacon, its creamy texture and fresh flavor are a real crowd-pleaser.
