Supper is almost ready. And it's 9:18 in the morning.
Last night because the leaves are beautiful, and since this is Alabama we're running the air conditioning in the daytime and the heat at night, we had turnip greens with smoked sausages, black-eyed peas and baked sweet potatoes. And when I got up this morning? I stole an inspiration from Southern Living. I haven't SEEN the inspiration, but it involves soup and my sister-in-law told me about it. (Which is the point at which I realized that this months SL? Is in a pile somewhere.)
The Soup
2 cups cooked black-eyed peas
2 cups turnip greens
12 oz smoked sausage
28 oz crushed tomatoes
3 bay leaves
1 pkg frozen seasoning blend (onions, peppers, celery)
1/2 pound smoked & shredded Boston Butt
I didn't even get cute...just dumped it all in the pot when I got up this morning, left it on low while I took the kids to school, and came home to heaven. I had a bowl for breakfast. Tonight? We'll have hot soup, crusty artisan bread and red wine.
I just love it when that happens.
I just threw in a can of whole kernel corn. Because.

I made this for our dinner tonight, and it smells dee-vine! I had a little sample bowl earlier, and decided to add a couple tablespoons of sugar, to cut the acidity of the tomatoes. I resisted the urge to get cute, too (love that!), but I can see red pepper flakes, or maybe hot pepper sauce making their way into the mix next time.
