Pretty much, ever since I can remember, it's been a tradition to eat black-eyed peas on January 1st to bring good luck throughout the year. When I was younger I didn't care for them as much, but now I find myself saying "Why is it that we only eat these 1 day out of the year?"... All I know is that I ate them on New Year's day last year and wound up landing a job in the IT field which will kick-start the career that I've been dreaming of all of my life. I took a massive risk by quitting my job of 8 years to become a freelance web designer/developer and it was mainly the fact that I was able to learn web development/programming so quickly, that I was hired for the position that I am in right now.
So, that being said, I will continue to eat black-eyed peas on New Year's day in hopes of having good luck all year long! Besides, they just taste good...
Happy New Year!
