Matilda, we could scrap our New Mexican plans, drive to your place for New Years, maybe a couple extra days. We could bum a night or two with my family in Tennessee and another night or two with Nancy's family in Dallas. If you could toss in a few ham sandwiches for the road and a little gas money this might work.
Your menu makes this old born and raised southern boy drool!
Oh, how about some shrimp and grits for breakfast?
Hope I'm not being pushy.

Wishing you and yours a healthy and happy 2008!

Brunch of a full dressed breakfast pizza and a bloody mary or two.
Dinner/Supper will be a couple dozen tamales smothered in chili with onions, cheese, and peppers, a pot of pintos and a pan of cornbread. Maybe some ice cream to help ease it along.

We'll be having the same but with the addition of kielbasa cooked with the kraut, applesauce made in the fall and frozen for the occasion, and beverages by Yuengling. We add tomato juice to the sauerkraut, in addition to the other ingredients above.

We live in Albuquerque. We're Irish, so corned beef and cabbage is often what's served. The other dishes associated with New Year's Day around here include posole (usually with red chile) and menudo (a hangover cure supposedly).

Finally, there are snacks during the football games, usually hot wings, chips, and so forth.

TACOS! New Years Eve will be either cob smoked duck or pheasant my sister sent me, along with my homemade dressing from hell.. But New Years Day will be tacos, either made from venison or ground chuck. Still plotting here.. Thats if the snow dont take out my schedule again and end up plowing snow all day.

This:
Beer, hot wings, fried loins, hoppin john, smuthard cabage, Mexican cornbread Cajun style, pecan pie & maybe smoked ribs

I have to work so it will probably be a hot dog and a coke.

roasted pork loin with sauerkraut, cabbage and apples....mashed potatoes,carrots and leaks whipped really smooth. Oh and brut champagne with my crudite. Fabulousoyster.....what do you put on your white rice? Happy New Year to all.

pulled pork- slow cooked and delicious, black eyed peas- southern style, served with corn bread, cole slaw, and for dessert- homemade NY Italian style cheesecake.

Gosh, everyones menu sounds fantastic!!I am not sure yet what we will be having,but I think the days eats will be surrounding a big pan of lasagna..

Annie, Lasagna is great! maybe a salad and some bread? I'm kinda partial to that Caesar thing with them little salty fishes,olives and Feta Cheese. If I get a quick"come on up", That sure lightens the load when Nancy gets home in about an hour and sees I really haven't cleaned the house the week she's been gone. Just look at the wonderful options I could humbly offer. "Dear, how about to the Carolina's with Matilda or perhaps to Wisconsin with Annie, or we can stay here and have some posole and tortillas, I'll cook". I'm heading to bed and covering my head!
Over and out,

Lasagna will work! Just toss a little garlic bread on the side..

All of those meals sound horrible. They probably will look like maggots and will be served on dirty plates.

Just thought I'd save a few other posters the trouble of posting.

Well, that beats the bitterness of collards and pot-licker ; )

Issues?

Consider this a love letter!

I'm glad someone opened this thread. We don't quite fit, and yet the Old Broad and I are pretty standard old-fashioned Southerners.

We'll probably do something with black-eyed peas flavored with ham, onions, red pepper flakes, and garlic. Cabbage or collard greens flavored with ham, onions, etc. on the side will work well.

But, given all that, the really important thing is that we'll sit around the hearth, or fireplace, or coffee table, and talk and chat and generally enjoy some prime quiet time with the people we love, which of course includes you and yours. Because, after all, being with the people we love is far and away the most important thing in our lives. And if it isn't the most important thing in your lives, you might reconsider your priorities.

We do love you, y'know.

And Ann and Ellen and lleechef and all y'all folks we love, and Paul and Al and Jan and the Bushies and Pwingwsx (sp?) and all, we'll be thinking of and loving y'all, too.(And please forgive spelling, etc.)

(And of this loses me my position as the official Olphrt-in-residence, I really don't give a hbra!)
