General Anyone else have a traditional New Years day dinner

[Going Postal]

Made the pulled pork today. I'll pop it into the oven tomorrow to reheat.

Had to pull myself out of bed & create a miracle for my amazingly inept kids.
All they do is eat, shit, sleep, moan, and leave trails.

You son of a bitch, I'm taking my logging winch and going home. Thanks for nothing dad!

Got the pork loin and sauerkraut in the slow cooker bright and early this morning. Only 5 more hours to go!

Pork chops, collard greens, black eyed peas, mac and cheese (for the wife), cornbread.

Went to the misses parents. Ham, potatoes. The usual. Pretty nice. Even though my fridge is filled with enough NYE Chinese to feed a battalion.

Due to my polish/german/Pennsylvania dutch lineage it is mandatory to have mashed potatoes, pork and sauerkraut for dinner on New years day. Been eating it for 54 years.

Any of you have a traditional meal every year on New years day?

Here in the South black-eyed peas are traditional NY fare. Supposed to be good luck. Some years we have them some not. This year we had sloppy joes and tater tots.

Seems a lot have black eyed peas, will have to add that to menu next year, anyone got a secret family recipe to share?

It's not a secret or a family recipe, but i always go with chopped/diced county ham and/or bacon, onion, fresh hot peppers(habanero, scotch bonnet, or serrano), fresh garlic, cumin, low sodium chicken broth/stock, and pepper. The Country ham and bacon usually take care of most of the salt needs. I'll also toss in other random shit, the recipe changes every year, but those are the staples. If you don't splash hot sauce on them before you eat them, you may want to add a splash or two of your favorite vinegar to the pot, too for some twang.

Some years I use rinsed canned blackeye peas, but I prefer fresh or frozen. You can also use dry if you have plenty of time. This year they were frozen.

Ok so this year because everyone got a bad cough (we are all fine meow) and were feeling lazy and well all the other families cooked we didn't even put our Christmas tree up or the baby Jesus and los Reyes Magos are still chilling in our basement in a box with my weed growing tent and lights, poor Magos lol

I was actchually looking forward to just staying home, banging the gf , drinking Baileys and watching Rizin

FML enter my in-laws .....

I think this deserves a proper Origins Historia:

My Father in Law (and associates ?) bought a house from some Aytalian mafioso dude here in Montreal (name starts w Z) many years back that got into trouble with some brown envelopes business, tax stuff, the usual.

He bought it for a fraction of the price, 1-2 years before Covid

The dude (Mr. Z) had ordered all this marble from China and expensive pieces (like the chandelier and some of the art) directly from Italy and various places in Europe. Covid hit and LDO these Asians (my in-laws) offered to just take all those pretty things off their hands for an even smaller fraction ($0.20 on the dollar or so)

hihihi

Of course, they agreed, lawyers are expensive and lawsuits (theirs) last forever

Covid came, Covid went and the pieces never got to Montreal, the marble came in small drips and shit but fuck did the property gain value so no matter what it was winner winner chicken dinner

Anyways, they finally finished everything and we gonna be spending New Years again there.

I wanna show u guys the pictures and will include some funny stories because everytime I go there Im not too sure they wont bury me under the 1000 bottle Cave a Vin cellar lol

Nice driveguey!

Start casually comparing everything to your alarm clock.

"... you know, it's about the size of my clock you threw away"

"...its similar to the color of my clock you threw away"

"....you look almost as old as my clock you threw away"

Real subtle like


I should start a Dear Man Landers advice column.

Excellent idea. Also, all references to events should be in relation to when the clock was thrown away. Such and such happened about 2 years before the clock was thrown away. Or you could just say 2 BC.

But what I like the most is ROYALLY pissing off my father in law by opening his expensive bottles that he keeps only for his business associates BAR HAR HAR

what joyyyyyyyyy

You see, he cannot appear to be cheap (he isn't but he comes from poverty so he kind of is) in front of his guests so he has no choice but to just watch me get on top of his chairs and start taking bottles from the top shelf

I LOVE fucking with him

I pour mostly the uncles and people that according to my Father in Law cannot appreciate the taste of these liquors, and the moar he complains the bigger the pours get

I can't even be trusted with a bottle of Jameson. Dropped my gift onto another gift on Christmas effectively ruining both.
