Our New year tradition is a black eyed pea dish called Hopping John. We use ham hocks and greens ( mustard greens, kale and / or collard). Basically it’s like a bean soup which we serve over rice.Sent from my iPhone using Weber Kettle Club
I grew up in the desert southwest. In my younger years we’d eat menudo (beef tripe) on NYD. Yup we were hung over college kids. As I got older and settled down with my first wife her traditional NYD meal was tamales, carne asada tacos with pinto beans and Mexican rice. She was a gringo hahaI moved to North Florida 13 years ago, my second wife’s tradition is a straight up southern.Pork, black eyed peas, mustard, turnip or collard greens, white rice, southern cornbread (no sugar) and sweet tea. (I’ll pass on the sweet tea)Dessert a piece of warm buttered cornbread with Tupelo honey.
For New Years Eve Mrs. Cellar2ful and I always try and watch the last sunset of the year (weather permitting). This was sunset #365 of 2021 at Sunset Beach, California.
