So here we are with the hog jowls and my favorite new art deco bracelet from Ann Taylor. Recipe 5 is Hoppin' John, which is black eyed peas and rice. Which had no flavor at all. Which pissed me off because I had sourced the hog jowl. Also, my mom made the best black eyed peas and I wanted them to taste like that. But I guess you can only go so far with water, black eyed peas and hog jowls. Three thumbs down and a stinky house.
My mother would just cook them to death with a huge hunk of ham, and I liked them that way - but I'm not sure about hog jowls. I don't think I could get past the name or visual cue!
