I'm thinking that 2020 was dragging its heels on leaving.  Power went out first shot this morning.  Not good when the alcohol soaked brain is looking for a jump start.  Power is back on now (obviously).  I'm hoping that 2021 just slept in for a bit before showing up for its shift!  Happy 2021!

Like many Our NYE was low key, a simple menu of fois gras with a Gewürztraminer, magret de canard with a raspberry sauce baked rice with parmesan and cream, yellow beans with a Gamaret/Garanoir blend followed by îles flottantes and a very nice Swiss brut sparkling wine

Wow!  What does an elaborate celebratory menu look like? 😀

My excuse is the lack of caffeine.  My story and I'm sticking with it!  🤣

As one of the many "lurkers" who's 2020 was made more positive by the warmth, humor, comraderie, and friendship shown by denizens of the Cooler, just wanted to pass along sincere thanks and best wishes for 2021!

Hoppin John with dinner tonight.  Follow your own recipe, but don't leave out the blackeye peas if you want good luck in the year ahead! 🙂

Interesting Que!  My daughter made herself a dish tonight with blackeyed peas for the same reason.....good luck in the year ahead!  She grew up and still lives in Canada.  Not sure where she picked this up.  Not something I was familiar with!  Hope this works well for everyone!  😃

Our dinner tonight has induced a protein coma!

 

I made a stew loosely based on cassoulet. Used ham, pork sausage, and the leftover meat from the Christmas goose, braised in a broth with onions and garlic, then finished with some lentils. I'm still stuffed but loving it!

Good morning friends.....Mysty,  those black eyed peas? That is a VERY southern

style food.  It is also a very traditional dish for New Year's.   

 

I am posting the following from another thread I chat on.........I thought it was very appropriate

for going into 2021.

Wife is from southern Virginia, we do black eyed peas on New Year’s Day!

Does she read Southern Living magazine?

She has many internet friends from the US.  She may well have heard about the good luck aspect from them.  I'm going to ask her when we next chat.  I have to admit that after the dumpster fire that was 2020 the idea of inviting good luck in is very attractive!
