This year is the same as any other. The reason we eat pork is that the hog will barrel its way forward thus eating of pork as your first meal is hoping that you barrel your way through obstacles in the new year and always move forward.

Comments: My traditional New Year' meal consists of Cornbeef, Cabbage for wealth, blackeyed peas for luck, carrots for health and corn bread for some unknown reason. Maybe because it tastes good with the other things. I usually throw in potatoes with the cabbage and carrots. I think this all comes from my Irish grandmother. I make my children eat a little of each and tell them that one day they will be calling me asking what to cook for New Years. They just roll thier eyes. Whatever...Happy New Years to all !

Nothing special this year, it is too stressful to have anything organized with our children. When they go to sleep I usually have a 'late night snack' (yes, bad I know). This year it is corn soup with bread and cheese.
