New Years traditions

[acast285]

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.

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 haha

I 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.

Looks awesome Robert.... Tornado warnings here, so we had quick leftovers.  Still good!

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.
