New Year's Traditions and Meals

[daytime dave]

Tonight, honey and I will be having dungeonous crab, scallops, cheddar bay biscuits, small boiled potatos and a salad. I like seafood on New Year's day for dinner if possible. After dinner there is a possibility of a pitcher of martini's.

My buddy and I used to have a tradition of getting in one of the rivers around here on New Years Day. We thought it would bring us good luck diving during the year. Must have worked, as we found some really cool stuff over the years.

We don't get in the water much any more, so we spent the day in the woods hunting. Last day of big game season.

NYE we went to Lethbridge, saw Eastwood's new movie The Mule, and had sushi. Today we had KFC.
All good.

I cooked yesterday. Mary's son is living with us temporarily, so I gave him a cooking lesson. Her mother came for dinner too.

We had langostinos in a lemon cream sauce, butter crusted haddock, pan fried scallops with a simple sauce and King crab. A salad rounded out the meal. There wasn't a morsel left on the plates after dinner!

A fitting way to start a new year.

Is the Mule any good RR

[Sir Henry]

I went to a neighborhood party where about 30 people mingled through. I left around 11:30 and only a dozen or so remained.

[RanchRoper]

Is the Mule any good RR

Yes. We enjoyed it. Clint is great.

Was going to go see it last week. Was told it was mostly boring monologue. So tabled it for Netflix. Saw Aquaman instead. Action packed, but kinda hoakie. Had I known better, it would have been a see later on Netflix too.

Yes. We enjoyed it. Clint is great.

It has an actual story unlike most fluff these days. I'm tired of comic book movies now.

[mrguvna]

black-eyed peas rice, hot sauce and cold beer.........

[Mags]

Irish Mule, club crackers with cheese, Chek Mix, left over Christmas cookies.

Seems to me there is alot of animated stuff going into the movies. Like Aquaman. Im not interested at all. Comic book like RR said and cartoon movies are not for me. If I want to watch cartoons I will watch Pink Panther Bugs Bunny Road Runner and something along that line. Those were cartoons Just my .02 worth

I like action packed movies where the life-like animations are top shelf, real like and believable. Lord of the Rings and Avatar being a couple of them. The attempt at life-like animation in Aquaman didn't turn out so well. Kinda flat and lacked depth. Actor movement through water wasn't realistic at all. As far as actual cartoons, as a kid I liked the Road Runner, Mighty Mouse, Sylvester, Tom & Jerry.

2020 --- that's hard to believe but its that time again .... sure doesn't seem that yet another year has gone by .... the main components of our traditional meal remain the same with one new item thrown in .... on the traditional side, country ham, collard greens, homemade biscuits, grits, red-eye gravy and black-eyed peas .... new for us, poached oysters

[cooperhawk]

New Years Eve for us is Snow Crab with a few steamed shrimp thrown in.
Today my world famous Oyster Chowder for lunch and Prime Rib steaks for dinner.
Rose Bowl Parade, bowl games. Easy living day.

[RanchRoper]

Easy day today... I think spaghetti-o's on the menu...

[BigAl52]

Spaghetti O's from the can RR? Man havent seen a can of those for a while.

[RanchRoper]

Yes sir...maybe they are called Alpha-Ghetti now...whatever, still same great taste...

[TMB]

we will spend New Year's at home .... historically in our part of the country a New Year's meal menu includes :

collard greens, blackeyed peas, side meat/pork, and cornbread

We add some chow-chow to that normally. I am having surgery in February must loose as much weight as possible by then. So we are having a salad with skinless boneless chicken tenders. Yeah!
