The traditional southern meal for New Year's is as follows:
*Ham (We had a real honey-baked ham!) for positive forward movement as pigs root forward and are unable to look back.
*Black-eyed peas for prosperity in the new year (ours are topped with a bit of sweet pickle juice)
*Greens (collards are best) for folding money
It was especially fun to bring these traditions to the west coast. I was quite unsure how it would go, but I've made a few converts :)
Entertaining is a bit of a lost art. How often do we pull out the fancy plates with cloth napkins? I'm not saying we should do this every day, but a bit more often would be nice. Perhaps in my quest for creating more home cooked meals, I should invite people over more often to show how it's done!
No more cooking this weekend. Lots of leftovers to consume, but they will be delicious. Oh, and the pork with cherries was awesome! Here's to our next wonderful meal. Any suggestions?...
