I just love the Tournament of Roses parade! An Annual tradition in my house.
When I was a kid my family used to make black eyed peas as it was supposed to bring good luck for the year.
Kiss the girls... just kiss the girls!
@SteveB I will take the bullet for you.
@GipsyOfNewSpain I meant to say the Ladies.
Yes, it is not to make any New Year's resolutions.
I traditionally get hammered on New Years Eve, this year trying to keep warm in front of the woodstove. And like you, I'm a Southerner, so today I'm fixing a pork roast, hoppin' John, collard greens, and cornbread.
Different every year. This year-woke up about 11:00. Watching Parade. Laid back today. My house everyone does their own thing. Never know 8 people live here. lol.
I have usually made both, the corned beef and cabbage per family tradition AND peas and collards per the tradition of my residential region. However, that adds up to a lot of work on my last day off before returning to work.
This year, we are thinking to start a new tradition of continuing the fingerfood feast that we've typically limited to New Year's Eve. Will see how it goes!
I adore the stuff, but can wait until March 27th, I think...
