As a tiny child, Anne-Charlotte was taught that the eating of black-eyed peas on New Year’s Day is imperative for good luck. Forgo the BEPs, and you better set your expectations for a spectacularly crummy year. This may sound like a silly Southern superstition, but consider the evidence. Late last December, Anne-Charlotte went to New Zealand and FORGOT that can of black eyed peas she meant to pack for New Year’s Day, and look what happened this year: the whole economy went completely to hell and Farrah Fawcett died. (Anne-Charlotte would like to apologize to everyone, especially Ryan O’Neal.)
So this year, to try to set things straight, Anne-Charlotte told Jennifer about her, um, idea that they should cook up a giant pot of excellent black-eyed peas, and Luscious Pastry could offer them for New Year’s Day, and it would be really funny in a politcally incorrect sort of way if they called them Anne-Charlotte’s The South Shall Rise Again Black-Eyed Peas. Oh dear. Jennifer gently explained that this was a very bad idea because A: that is a terrible name, what the hell are you thinking? B: black-eyed peas are, while tasty, not dessert, not Pastry, and not particularly Luscious; and C: you can’t bring Farrah back.
So in the end, Anne-Charlotte apologized for including a vaguely offensive phrase on the blog that, rather than being funny, will in fact cause the Luscious site to get search engine hits from every lunatic skinhead in Alabama (although we expect a Bama-wide surge in political progressiveness and baking as a result), and suggested that Luscious just bake some scones. Now that sounds lucky. This weekend, you can usher in 2010 with a favorite from 2009: Luscious Cinnamon-Eggnog Scones. The eggnog season is almost over friends, and that means this is your last chance for these divine scones until next winter. Mmmm, what a luscious beginning for a new year!
Half-dozen fresh-baked Cinnamon Eggnog Scones: $9. Throw in a jar of Luscious Chai for just $9 also. Order at yummy@luscious.com.
And, here’s a little something for good luck…
Luscious Pastry 
So, it’s all YOUR fault! I’m glad I have someone to blame for the horrific year of 2009.
Question: in that BEP video, what is UP with that scary ball bouncing around trying to kill everyone? Now I’m going to have nightmares!
Happy 2010 to the Luscious Ladies! I think scones are a much better tradition than peas.
BEING ONE OF THE ADULTS WHO TOLD THE CHILD YOU WERE THAT “EVEN ONE SPOONFUL OF BLACK-EYED PEAS WILL BRING YOU LUCK–COME ON, JUST ONE SPOONFUL….”; HERE IS A SUGGESTION. hOW ABOUT SOME MEAN AUSTIN,TEXAS CAVIAR? HOTTER, SPICIER, SAUCIER AND MUY DELISIOSO. WITH A JAR OF THIS IN HAND, EVEN THE POOR SOUL WHO IS NOT A NAY TEEVE TEXAN WILL GET AN INVALUABLE LIFT OF SPIRITS NOT TO MENTION A CLEARING OF THE SINUSES. FURTHER, RE: GOOD LUCK & BEP’S During the time of the War Between the States most everybody was STARVING and they, perhaps decided to eat the cow foder that was left. That cow foder was Black Eyed Peas! BEP’s were discovered to not be intolerable and quite nutricious. THUS the connotation of GOOD LUCK-darn good luck to find those darlin’ peas-with BLack EYes. Love, ever voluable Aunt Diane PS: Farah probably won’t mind having her name in print again and Ryan really needs the PR.
Are we supposed to vote on which picture — the original or the airbrushed version — is more … well … Luscious? You Luscious chicks CRACK ME UP!!
eventhough I blow most of my time on the internet participating in games like zynga poker or farmville, I always like to take some time to surf a few websites sometimes and I’m lucky to report this newest post is in reality more or less good and radically superior than 50 % the various waste I read today , anyways i’m going to enjoy a smattering of rounds of facebook poker
