The reason you eat pork is because a pig can’t look behind him.

I’m from the south. New Year’s Day is always pork, black eyed peas, and greens. Health and wealth! I can do without the pork but new year’s day without black eyed peas feels blasphemous.

We always have fondue on Christmas Day, but I think we’re going to do fondue and raclette this NYE, as well.

Traditional pork loin with black eyed peas and collard greens on New Year’s Day. I think I’ll do Marcella Hazan’s pork braised in milk. So good.

New Year’s Day dinner…Beef tenderloin, spinach soufflé, mashed potatoes, honey glazed carrots and salad w/pears, pecans & Gorgonzola cheese. Dessert… honey cake, almond cookies, butter cookies & choc chip cookies for the kids.

We have raclette on NYE. New Year’s Day we’ll have oysters on the half shell, salmon roe caviar and blini, and a cheese and charcuterie platter. Ordered a fancy cake with champagne buttercream from somewhere via Goldbelly, and will have that for dessert both evenings.

Tourtiere, with some sides. Haven't decided on the sides. Maybe just salad and roasted broccoli?

I don’t have any traditions beyond something with lentils which is traditionally eaten for good luck/fortune where my parents are from. Lentils in some form.

NYE - various appetizers, I too am worn out from Christmas so probably chips and dip, cheese and crackers, etc
NYD - ham, black eyed peas, wild rice, broccoli/collards, and pineapple upside down cake

Black eyed peas and ham, cornbread.

Oysters

Pork (can figure out which way)
Black eyed peas
Collared greens

You guys are inspiring me. I’m so burnt out from Christmas.

Always a seafood entree, this year crab legs & corn + chocolate fondue & sparkling cider.

Sounds good!
