Yes, I’m from Seattle. I do eat a Dick’s burger once in a blue moon, but I’ve NEVER had the opportunity to try black-eyed peas.

Grizz — What a great new tradition!

We watched Julie & Julia last night, in fact! Great flick.

Today: Sherlock Holmes!

My boyfriend and I watched Julie and Julia a few weeks ago and he got me Julia Childs’ cookbook for Christmas. We spent New Years Day cooking fantastic dishes from her recipes. I think we have started a new tradition!

Wound up having mini Farfale and Rotini with spaghetti sauce instead. Was too busy watching Next Iron Chef to really cook anything.

If you eat Dick’s burgers, you must be from Seattle! hi neighbor.

Creamy turnip soup? hmmm, that sounds good, I may have to try that.

I don’t have a traditional New Year’s meal. It’s different every year. Tonight it’s creamy turnip soup, chicken piccata, sauteed spinach, and a green salad with some herb and garlic goat cheese on the side.

Collard greens, black-eyed peas, cornbread — that all sounds like Southern food. I’m sure I’ve eaten more Dick’s Drive-in burgers in my life than I have black-eyed peas.

People have traditional New Year’s meals? Weirrrrd. Maybe it’s a southern thing.

Well, back in the days when I used to go out and get sauced on New Years, nothing hit the hangover spot like a good grease-burger, preferably from Dick’s drive-in. But that’s about the closest Ive ever come to tradition related to New Year’s.

Happy New Year and Thanks for your great work in 2009. Can’t wait for the coming year.

By the way, our fine Democrat U.S. Senator Ben Nelson has had to start running ads to explain his vote on Obamacare. I wrote about it on my blog. It was a hoot. Only a politician could come up with this ad.

Thanks again for 2009 . . .

I dunno what we’re going to have. There’s some canned collard greens (I know, but they’re really good and easy) with field peas n snaps. Got some chipotle Tobasco that goes nicely with ‘em too.

I’m from Pennsylvania. We have pork with homemade sauerkraut and mashed potatoes. Unbeatable! Happy New Year!

My traditional New Year breakfast is raw eggs, tabasco and half a bottle of aspirin.

I forgot to mention. We are having pork loin, sauerkraut and homemade Black Eyed Peas salad (made by John… anyone who thinks I can cook is crazy).

I usually have my mom’s tourtiere (meat pie) for New Year’s. It’s a French-Canadian specialty.
On a related note: there’s a debate in my family on the proper pronunciation of this new year. Is it “two thousand ten” or is it supposed to be “twenty ten”?

I believe we’re goin’ with fried taters PatriotMom.

One of our family’s favorite meals any day of the year is sauerkraut with smoked sausage, purple hull peas, fried taters, cornbread, sliced maters, and of course, a slice of onion.

Either way we certainly know what’s good for the soul don’t we?
