Happy New Year!
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
**********
This is a picture that goes back a long way. This was New Years Eve, 1968!
Charles had to work that night and his shift ended at 11:00 P.M.-giving him just enough time to get home and welcome in the new year with me!
As I remember, his friend and riding partner came with him and the 3 of us celebrated. :)
Tonight-I doubt if we will even be up to see the NEW YEAR!
:) We've learned it will come without our help!
**********
In the part of the south where my husband grew up it was - and still IS - customary to have Blackeyed Peas, cooked with Hog Jowl, for the New Years Day meal! This is to bring good luck in the coming year!
~~~Hey-it works for us!~~~
We usually have a 'mess' of cooked collards or turnips or other greens and cornbread to go along with this!
I leave all this for my husband to do...He makes excellent cornbread! (I like to crumble it into a glass of cold buttermilk and eat it with a spoon!) We sometimes have ham or grilled chops, too... but maybe just hotdogs and sausages this time! It's sort of just left dangling this time. (our holiday meal-plan)
We'll see!
Anyway~ the new year's almost here!
Hope it will be a good one for all!

Your comment about cornbread in a glass with buttermilk reminded me of something.
My second try at college was in east Tennessee, where cornbread seemed to be on every table. The first time I saw a guy eating it from a glass with milk, I thought it was very, very odd. It turned out that almost everybody ate it that way.
I like fruit pie--cherry and peach being my favorites.
I decided that I could put a piece of cherry pie in a bowl and pour milk over it, just like I had seen everybody doing with cornbread in a glass.
For some reason, it was not at all appreciated. Many groans around the table. I learned to keep my treat at home, out of sight of anybody who wasn't family.
I still like my cornbread with butter and honey and a fork--like it is cake on a plate.
To each their own. I'll bet your mister's being baked in an iron skillet like that is quite tasty.
Happy New Year!

Hi Diane,
Oh, Yah! Cornbread cooked in an iron skillet is great-and my husband has perfected it over these many years! :)
He uses buttermilk in making the cornbread.
:) I never thought to eat pie with milk- but I bet it's good that way! ...and - why not- folks don't think it strange to top it with ice cream! :)
Speaking of ice cream- I like to pour milk over mine...it makes it much better. It's like an old fashioned milk shake.
Here's something a little strange, I guess, but I like it! :) I like fresh blueberries with buttermilk poured over them- or topped with sour cream! :)
lol- ok- enough of my strange secrets! hahaha
Happy New Year!
Junie
