"Blackedeyed Peas And Hawg Jaw"

I am just a day late on my traditional New Years meal. I stopped by Cash Saver this morning and bought some Hawg Jaw (hog jowl) and a couple of cans of blackeyed peas.

I fried up all of the hawg jaw and put some of the drippings in the blackeyed peas for flavor.

Tami had bought a bottle of Blueberry Grape Bubbly (non-alcoholic) for Christmas but somehow, we didn't have an opportunity to partake. This seemed like the perfect time for "Culture, with a side order of Grits"! 

We devoured all of the Hawg Jaw, Blackeyed Peas and Bubbly! So... Our luck is secured for 2017 and my dear old Mother would be right proud!
