[Magdalen] Happy New Year

[Georgia DuBose]

All y'all pubfolk along the Mason-Dixon line and further south: Oregon does
not know from collards, so I made collards and pork with chard instead of
collards. I realize this is heretical; I plead geographical challenges. In
addition, while they don't do collards here, they do do black eyed peas,
and I could find none, so I put in pinto beans. This probably doesn/t count
for either luck or money, but it made me feel better to have made the
effort.

God bless all of you in 2016. Wishing you peace, good health, and warm
friendship.
