jaminkw Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 I had the idea to do this and then saw Janet B's post in the air and decided it needed to be done. This is meant to be sung: What are you doing New Year's, New Year's Eve? I think the tune is universal, so what are you doing?

lilyjohn Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 Well tonight I will wathc the ball drop alone. I guess I won't really be alone. There are so many memories of New Years past to keep me company. So many people far away and those who are gone. I will also contemplate the fact that Johnny and I never got to spend a New Years eve together. That is hard to imagine because he has been so much a part of me for most of my life. Tomorow I am cooking. I always like tradition and once you live in the South you can't get past cabbage and blackeyed peas. Sense I am not crazy about black eyed peas but figure I can use all of the health I can get I need to eat some so the best thing to do is share. I have a neighbor who has become a dear friend. I have cooked cajun for her a couple of times so I have invited her. It will be the last time I cook for her because on the 9th she is moving to be closer to family. I also have another neighbor who is from Arkansas. She lost her husband last February and her and I have become close. So they will be my company. I plan on a good meal and some good laughs but also I am sure there will be a few tears. Then like I said that is all a part of the beauty of this thing we call life. So the menu is cole slaw, smothered cabbage, blackeyed peas with pork roast and rice and gravy. I will also have some homemade crescent rolls, cranberry sause and olives. Peach cobbler will finish it off. Now after that I need to do some serious dieting for a few weeks because I know when I go to Louisiana next month I am bound to gain some more weight. Happy New year to all and good eats as well. Don't forget blackeyed peas for health and cabbage for wealth, That one hasn't worked yet but then again maybe it has. Health and weath are much the same thing to most of us. Oh yea the pork roast and all of the other stuff is just plain good eating Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry's Wife Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 I have a quiet evening at home planned. Much the same as every other year. The only difference, no midnight kisses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy New Years Everyone!!! ps - Lily John - we lived in Texas the first year we were married and decided to do as the Texans did and have black eyed peas on New Years day - I think the whole bowl hit the garbage can and we have never tasted them again!!

jaminkw Posted January 1, 2009 Author Share Posted January 1, 2009 Well I didn't tell what I was doing because I wasn't sure. I've been feeling a little poorly with a terrible sore throat today but I got myself up and fancied up to go to a party with my daughter, grandson and their friends. Of course, the one condition was that I have a car and drive myself home early. I was surprised I didn't get home til 10:30. It was fun--the karoke was hilarious. Now here I am catching up on my emails and the LC site. Don't know if I'll make it til midnight though. Happy New Year all my LCSC friends.

Flyman35 Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 Stayed in and warm last night. We watched a bit of Deal or no deal and Chicago's New Years program. Saw the new year in and off to bed. Happy New Year everybody!! Denise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaminkw Posted January 1, 2009 Author Share Posted January 1, 2009 Katie, that's the worst. I'm so sorry. Babysitters should be reliable. Hope she had a really good excuse or bet you'll never engage her again. Judy in Key West Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
