In 1997: some kid hadn’t started school& majored in geophysics at Rice& decided to do a senior project on the Orinoco

I’m just about ready for New Years.
Black Eyed Peas were always served for ‘luck’ on New Years Day in my family’s home (TX via OK), but these little beans remain rare to find as a staple and around nyc.
My local Ctown grocer absolutely keeps them stocked for me this time of year though.
