Johnny What's The Deal Boy?

There are so many recipes on-line for Hoppin' John that I ended up unable to settle on any one. This later became Hoppin' John but the first day of it's conception it was a very beautiful light bean soup using black-eyed peas.  Smoked turkey neck, garlic, jalapenos, carrots, celery, onions and a nice broth.  Very hearty but still spring-like.   Beans and soups are always better the 2nd day anyway. 

For lunch a tamale and smooshed taco from El Mexicano
