I was going to ask what is cooking for NY day? Okay, traditionally we have a midnight supper of Tortiere (meat pie), salads, cabbage, and bread; with at least three different sweet desserts.
Mom on NY day would always cook Pigs feet (yuck) that only she would eat, plus a crackling roast of pork, with veges, potatoes, and yup more sweet desserts.
I on the other hand will serve seafood at midnight - a light repast.
New Years day this year (by request) will be Rock cornish Hens done in a slow cooker, and Mandarin Orange Almond Salad, with fresh home baked French stick. I have a mixed berry pie to serve as dessert. We shall have a full breakfast, with Champagne, a breakfast casserole and lots of fresh fruit.
The day starts early for me, and yes we too have a tradition of a clean home, no laundry, and all bills are paid before NY eve end.
We also tried to follow a Dark haired man entering the home with a piece of coal. The best I can do now is have my boy Magic enter home first after midnight. Hey he is black and a male........DOG. LOL |
