Fresh Black Eye Peas & Haitian Accras

A dear friend and owner of one of the best written blogs on the internet has kindly invited me to be a part of her featured guest-posters for the 4th-year helping of her exciting and truly fabulous event - My Legume Love Affair.

Since Susan began this event, I have thoroughly enjoyed learning more about legumes and I have admired, cooked and devoured many of the dishes all you have made and contributed to MLLA. I am truly honoured to be a part MLLA 4. To everyone that reads my blog, I hope that you will join in the celebration.

The column explains the differences between these Two Ears of Roasted Corn.

Have a great weekend everyone!
