I'm planning on fixing Dr. Chicken's double smoked ham tomorrow with some Hoppin' John on the side. Any favorite Hoppin' John recipes out there? I've used a yankee recipe for years and am interested in trying something different or unique. Would appreciate any ideas.[p]Janet

    RRP,
    JJ said it all for the description. Plus, if I remember correctly, you are supposed to eat one black-eyed pea per one day of good luck in 2002. Good dish besides![p]Janet[p]
