New Year's Charm

haiku good luck waiting great granny's hoppin’ john New Year's silver dime 12/17/2011 Sponsor Tania Kitchin Contest Name Fall or Winter Holiday Haiku revised as haibun good luck waiting great granny's hoppin’ john New Year's silver dime Nothing quite so tasty as bacon, black-eyed peas, rice and the cook's "whatever else" ingredients including something special. No one eats until the silver dime is found in generous helpings. Nutrition awaits the celebrated finding of a novelty. November 14, 2021

thanks, Tania. Lots of recipes for hoppin' john but they all used to include a silver dime. Likely all included black-eyed peas, a traditional NYD's food.
