Plenty of exercise as we served many. Purple hull peas have always been a staple in our area of East Texas. When you shell them you end up with purple fingers. Noonday onions are the sweetest onions ever. The soil plays a big part. My great aunts in Huntsville made great pickles and their neighbor produces wonder peaches. Such fond memories.
It was hot here today. The food pantry where I volunteer was very busy. I was exhausted when I got home but I still had work and supper to attend to. Our neighborhood gathered for a happy hour of sorts. It was a lovely evening and walking across the street was all the exercise I got. So glad you had a good day. Supper was purple hull peas, cornbread, tomatoes and Noonday onions. Life was good today and I’m so glad you had a good day.
I’m from Texas and I’ve never heard of Noonday onions but I looked them up and I bet they’re wonderful! Thanks for sharing that! Sounds like they pre-date the 10 15’s??
You as well. My husband still has family in the area. He was born there. Noonday onions are as famous here as Jacksonville tomatoes. Sweet delicacies we long for every summer.
I'm sure you must have gotten exercise at the food pantry, right? That counts! I'm originally from Ohio so not sure what purple Hull peas or Noonday onions are, so now I must go research those. Glad you enjoyed your day! Sleep well!

All I know is there is no Southern food I haven't really liked!

They are better than the 10/15’s. Where are you from in Texas?
I am definitely going to try to find them, I am here in Houston. Nice to meet you!

Maybe H-E-B carries them and I haven’t noticed them but I’m definitely going to get them anyway I can! So nice to know about a good onion!
