I've had some requests for the turnip/collard greens recipe made with chicken stock. Here's one - you can make it with or without the garlic and red pepper flakes (I don't add those). You can also use 4 rather than 3 pieces of bacon!
I prefer using "from scratch" chicken stock but I've substituted canned or carton chicken stock before and it's fine. Homemade tends to have a higher fat content, which of course makes things even yummier.
Then, following a bit more time with the boob tube, it will be off to bed.
Nothing very exciting, to say the least.
Nice cozy evening in with loved ones, sounds exciting to me!
oops sorry, forgot the topic Thinking of either making a hearty Porcini Stew, Isa Chandra's recipe, with some nice homemade bread. Or making pizza with some cheese bread, veggies and dip, couple of other finger foods.

At this point in my life, it works for me and my SO, and it sounds like that type of evening works for you too. My days of craving excitement (which includes dodging the drunks on the road on New Year's Eve) are long gone...
love the southern tradition, but I do modify it a bit. Breakfast is always lox and bagels. Dinner is not chick and dumplings, but some type of pork. We substitute white beans for the black eyed peas. We just do like the black eyed peas. As for the greens, we usually do something like Chinese cabbage, or collard greens.
Happy New Year to all.e
It's the Jewish/Southern special. Bagels and lox - pork and beans and greens <LOL>. Very similar to what we do. Happy New Year to you and everyone else here as well . Robyn
My grandmother would do a big pork tenderloin in sauerkraut and serve it with applesauce and mashed potatoes.
I remember my favorite cousin would deliberately sit next to me, not out of affection, but because she knew I didn't eat the fatty parts. She'd wait for me to trim them off of my slices of meat and then her fork would dart down to my plate and skewer them. Cracked me up to no end
This year, I'm just gonna treat it like any other night and look forward to having Friday off. I'll prolly go out for pho or order a pizza and get some movies from the redbox.
I can remember loving the fat and sometimes, on some meats it would be really nice and crisp; not usually on pork. today the thought makes me almost sick.
My mother always made sauerkraut and pork and mashed potatoes for good luck on NYD. I continued the tradition. She also lit a bayberry candle and put it in the bathtub and let it burn all night. Again for good luck.
Annual family New Year's party. This year the theme is the Roaring 20's.
I am craving healthy so I am bringing a big salad with tons of veggies, 2 bottles of wine, 1 tequila, beer, and chocolate covered macadamia nuts.
Every New Year's Day I seem to contract the same bug, slightly queazy, headache and general malaise.
