Hello Everyone,
I hope you all are doing well in this New Year...We had our New Years dinner...black-eyed peas and hog jowl, turnips with mustard greens added, cornbread and pork chops. Hubby got a couple of rutabagas to fix. We've never cooked rutabagas because in his former life,(before me) he nearly cut off three fingers trying to peel one. But he peeled these with no injuries, I threw a little hog jowl in them too and cooked them up. I also got a bag of butternut squash with cinnamon and brown sugar in them that you microwave. I'm the only one that eats that. We ate until we were full and then some...ha. Later I made some brownies in the new brownie pan I got for Christmas. It works pretty good.
Hubby didn't make it until midnight on New Years Eve, he tried. He made it until 10pm. I told him I would wake him at midnight for a smooch... :) I watched the countdown on TV, but for the actual drop I turned it too the pelican drop in Pensacola. Then I stepped out the front door and watched some of the neighborhood fireworks. It was a pretty nice show and I didn't have to do anything but step outside. Yes, I did wake hubby up... :0)
Take care,
Sheila
I have never had rutawhatyamacallits. I have no idea what it taste like. The New Year is already going by fast. Have a good one.
ReplyDeleteI love rutabagas, hubby doesn't though. I had the typical New Year dinner except no hog jowls. Those would not have been eaten LOL.
ReplyDeleteHave a nice Sunday. It's pretty cold here.

That food sounds awful but the main thing is you like it. Do not want any of it. I know it is a TRADITION FOR YOU SOUTHERNERS. I am from the farm and watched many a hog butchered but where are the jowls?

ReplyDeleteLucky HUBBY!!!! I love it when folks can make their own fire works!
ReplyDeleteI get Rubarb and the other Ruta's mixed up. Stilhave not had the one, but had Rubarb pie in Maine, it was good.
Ahhhhh, you traditional Southerners. I never knew there was a traditionsal meal until I married Sherry, since then we have had it all! I don't eat Hog Jawl. But just to be on the safe side, I eat some hog. hahaha!
Sounds like a great time up there.
Love from over in Florida!
