Dried [NT] - DawnNYS - 1:15am on 09/01/10

You can definitely freeze fresh black-eyed peas. If airtight, the dried keep a long time. Recipe: - Steve2 in LA - 1:09am on 09/01/10

Or easier is just with a little diced up bacon or ham. Like you cook any dried beans. [NT] - Melissa Dallas - 2:51am on 09/01/10

Looks like cookies. You could always roll a little ball of almond paste, then wrap some dough around - cheezz - 1:40am on 09/01/10

Cheez, that's an even better idea than mine. I'd actually EAT that. [NT] - Steve2 in LA - 2:22am on 09/01/10
