Traditional Southern New Year's Day fare. Wonderful side dish with collards and roast pork and gravy.
Mema's fried apples are a must have too.

- 3 cloves of minced garlic
- 1 bay leaf
- 1 cup of long grain rice
- 1 can of diced tomatoes with chile peppers, keep the juice

- Drain the black-eyed peas.
- Discard the bay leaf.
- Bring 2 1/2 cups of water to boil
