Happy New Year, folks! How’s it been? Myself I’m way off my rocker right now. I’ve finished a bottle of Breitenback Roadhouse Red and am halfway through a bottle of Breitenbach First Crush. Oh, yes, I will certainly vomit later! Have no fear, I’ll survive, but, um, yeah, here’s a pointer never, ever give me two bottles of wine and expect them to last any amount of time. I will guzzle those motherfuckers like there’s no tomorrow. Or at least sip like it’s going out of style.:satansmoking:
That reminds me. Remember New Year’s 2000? Oh, I do. That party was the bomb-diggity. My friends and I got together and I personally ingested an entire bottle of Jose Cuervo Gold. There was no stopping me. I remember looking out the window at midnight and laughing heartily at the naysayers and that was about it for me. I was through. I’m told there was some pretty funny karaoke that happened that night and that I nearly pissed my pants laughing at some movie I don’t remember. Those were the fucking days. Before husbands and before going to bed before midnight. Gah!
At any rate, the time is going off in the kitchen right now. For some fucking reason that no one has ever really explained to me, we have to eat pork and sauer kraut. This involves lots and lots of mashed potatoes, because I really don’t like sauer kraut, but hey! It’s tradition right?
What New Year’s tradition did you remember this year? Is you food different than mine (sauer kraut, mashed potatoes, and pork roast)? I hear the south does something different…Is that true? Black-eyes peas and corn bread is damned yummy. Why can’t I eat that?

We had cabbage, black-eyed peas, cornbread and a small picnic. You’re suppose to have some sort of greens - like collard greens or turnip greens, but there were none left in the stores, so we did cabbage instead….and you’re supposed to cook your greens with hamhocks or hog jowls (the jaw, complete with teeth).
I personally prefer them to be cooked with the hamhock - it creeps me out when they are cooked with the jowl - the teeth fall out of the jaw while they’re cooking and then you end up with a pig tooth on your plate. yeck.
Yummmm….. I’m so jealous. I hate pork roast, but it’s kind of the law of the land here in Middle-of-Nowhere, Ohio. I could handle cooked cabbage and black-eyed peas. It makes my mouth water just reading about it.
Oh, wait. Pig teeth? Yeah, I’m wayy over that shit. No way. I would most certainly vomit at the sight of that. Ugh!
I love greens, but we don’t cook ‘em for New Year’s. I mix mine with cabbage and throw in the hamhock. Learned that one from Lil’ Miss’ Granny.
Ok, I’m off to eat something now. Thanks a lot for ruining my diet, Nikki.
How did I miss this! I am sooo behind!
Here its tradition of the blackeyed peas, but in Mississippi…you gotta add hamhocks, pigfeet with it. I don’t eat that shit though. Tres yuckers.
