    We always stay home on New Year's Eve and then we host a neighborhood brunch at the noon hour on New Year's Day.


     

    Staying in for Hogmanay this year, too cold to venture out, I'll watch all the revelry on TV, if no one pops round we'll have a "few" drinks, then off to bed.

    <-- looking up Hogmanay. : ) Found it. Looks like Independence Day in the states. July 4

    CB, do a hard search for black eyed peas and make them for the Scot for NY’s day. Good Luck!

    I'll look for them today Julie.

    Black eyed peas will cause a couple to be fertile. That's an Old Wives' Tale and has no basis in real medicine.
    country bumpkin: They'll be in the cold case where the vegetables live. Ask the vegetable man. They are kind of hard to find.

    LOL Itsmee! Will black eyed peas make my uterus grow back?

    Of course! Do not doubt it.

    We have a bottle of champagne in the fridge but I doubt we’ll stay up. I’ve bought blackeyed peas for New Year’s Day and cabbage for luck and money. I enhance the cabbage by placing a dime in it……….

    itsmee

    OMG ... I haven't made black-eyed peas for about 11 years. I will shop for it today. What do you do with the cabbage. Boil it?
    jhharlan

    It’s a baked cabbage recipe that I make with cheese on top. I posted it about a year ago. You put a dime in it for whoever gets it makes money for the year. I’ll see it I can’t repost it…..

    itsmee jhharlan: At last I have found the mystery salad. It sounds interesting. I'm more of a cabbage and vinegar type of girl but I may give it a try.

    Here's a super dressing for salad: Mix some virgin olive oil (The expensive kind), add Balsamic vinegar and then some Dijon mustard. Just make it to the consistency of salad dressing. This isn't for cabbage necessarily. Just file it under "G" for Green or "S" for Salad or "D" for dressing.

    Place cabbage in a greased 2 qt. casserole, set aside. In a saucepan heat oil over medium heat. Stir in flour, salt and pepper.cook until bubbly. Gradually stir in milk, stir until thickened. Fold in cheese.. Pour over cabbage. Combine bread crumbs and butter, sprinkle on top. Bake, uncovered at 350 F. 20-30 minutes or until bubbly. Serve immediately. Yields 4-6 servings....

    Thank you, jh ... Hmmmmm? It looks interesting. I love cabbage but I've never done anything with it. Maybe this will be my year. : )

    Yes. I will be going out with some friends to hear a local band. It is not a drinking night for me but the same as any other night out, just running into many more people than I normally would. I'll have my usual glass of wine and do a lot of chatting (hard to believe, I know). Then home, sleep a little later than usual ('cause I'll be out too late for an oldster) and then, start another year!   :)


    HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!!  May the year 2014 be great for you.

    We have been invited to a party, personally I would rather stay in have a couple of drinks and an early night.

    itsmee

    That's what I like too. Our Jjapanese affair ... (affair ha ha) isn't until ... I don't know when. It's in the day time.

    Staying in. I do not want to be on the road with drunks. New Year's Eve is a drinking night. New Year's day is either recovering from a massive hangover or more drinking. I do not drink so there's little to do as far as celebrating. I never make New Year resolutions either. At 11:55 New Year's Eve, I'll turn on the TV. Watch the ball drop, turn off the TV and be back here. 

    Heading over to a friend's for snacks, Bananagrams (a Scrabble-like game), dominoes, canasta, TV, etc.  It won't be tremendously exciting, but how exciting IS Tuesday night???

    ROMOS

    You should try HOGMANAY on a Tuesday night, it's a blast.

    itsmee

    ROMOS; How do you play HOGMANAY? I thought it was an event not something you could do in your living room.

    Bob/PKB: I bought a new game Scattergories. I thought it would be fun to play with another couple have YOU ever played it? I also thought it would be good for my brain ... Do you know whaatit is?

    I haven't played Canasta sine I was pregnant with our son. That was such an idyllic time. <sigh>
    ROMOS

    Not a game, not an event itsmee, it's a "HAPPENING" a phenomenon!
    itsmee

    What are you two doing? Maybe I shouldn't ask. heh heh. : ) <-- For ROMOS
    ROMOS

    At the moment we're getting ready to go shopping,I've told her I'm not going again until at least next year ;)
    itsmee

    Uh, who is "her" ? : )
    ROMOS

    Aye..OK!......

    Itsmee, Hogmanay is Celtic for 'Old year/New Year', Romos is pulling your leg.:)
    Bob/PKB

    ROMOS/CB: HAPPY NEW YEAR!!
    BULLETMAN: Thanks for setting me straight and HAPPY NEW YEAR!!
    ITSMEE: I've heard of Scattergories, but never played it. Most of the time, I'm pretty good at word games, and enjoy them very much. If you ever need a fifth wheel to play, call me!! HAPPY NEW YEAR!!
    bulletman

    Happy New Year to you MsBob, may it truely be a Happy one.
    ROMOS

    Happy happy Phyllis, I'm pi$$ed already, hope your new year goes better than the last.
    Stay the way you are,NO PROBS
    Bob/PKB

    Funny you should mention "problems". I was just telling my son's problem (and vice versa, of course) that I'm going to try not to be upset with someone because THEY have a problem (i.e. my eldest insisting on maintaining a home with "her/it"). Not MY problem, HIS problem. Or my cousin fighting with her mom and sister non-stop. HER problem. Not MY PROBLEM!! Stuff like that. Learning to tell the difference.
    As for you: Don't go to bed pi**ed!!
    ROMOS

    Going to bed soon P,tell them all to F**k off and leave you to the life that you deserve,and believe me darlin,YOU DESERVE IT!
    Love from Bonny Scotland.
    itsmee

    Bob: I'll let you know when the time is right. It seems like the days are full. Maybe it's just been all this holiday shopping. I know you're busy too. We'll manage In the new year.



    Bob/PKB

    KOTF: It's ridiculous with the complaining from my cousin. Now my sister is being dragged into the fray by the "other side". If nothing else, it brings US closer, as we agree on what we think would benefit them most. :D
    You are a sweetheart, Roy. Thanks for you friendship and support.
    Happy New Year (and beyond) from dry California
