oh my, this is fantastic, Eve, and the humor toward the end. LOVED this one. I don't think I probably like this food but it sure makes for a fun song!!

Thank you, Andrea, this was just for funny, but a Southern tradition. I don't like them even though I spice them up but still eat them for New Year's day. Hugs Eve
