2018 Good Luck Meal
« Reply #-1 on: January 04, 2018, 01:22:19 PM »
It has sure been a cold holiday season. Christmas week I did get my smoked pistachios and Cajun
crackers made. Our son & wife had Christmas dinner for both families Christmas eve. I didn't
feel up to par so I missed it.

For Christmas Day our son, wife & grandson came down, our daughter was here. We had
shrimp cocktail, meatballs and jiffy corn pudding. We exchanged gifts and had a good time.

The day after Christmas my wife's sister & husband came, her aunt and two cousins and our
family all went out to eat.

For New Years Day I had my usual pork and kraut. I also had some black eyed peas in honor of my
southern cousin's father. My pork & kraut was two CS ribs and four polish sausages. I added a half
can of beer and water. I don't drain the kraut, we like it sour. Normally I have some home made kraut
to use but didn’t get a batch on for this year.

My wife makes Knopfles, German drop noodles she learned to make from her Mother. They take
on sour from the kraut and really make the dish. For the black eyed peas I sauteed some onion in
butter, added a small can of green chilies and the peas. We had mini Ciabata rolls & butter with the meal.

Our son was watching football but his wife and son came to eat some good luck food to welcome in
the New Year. I was surprised the grandson tried the peas and liked them!

That's a good looking plate of food.  My mom's Polish, but I really miss the traditional holiday dishes that we got from her side of the family . . . other than my mom, I think that I'm the only one in the family that misses those meals (my dad, brother, and sisters want the Italian stuff).

Thanks, I can almost smell the kraut ! ! !
