got your hog jowls, black eyed peas and cabbage

I just put in a standing bone-in rib roast and a few baking potatoes. I have to cut up a medley of cauliflower and that "B-word" green veggie. Wine is chilllin' and iced tea is brewed.

My wife will make a series of finger foods tonight to watch the ball fall. Tomorrow will be a low profile, leftover day.
 
I've got the peas, but not the cabbage. I don't want us flying around the room. Happy New Year
 
I'm not sure what we're going to be eating...but, for the sake of those in attendance, I feel pretty confident it sure as heck won't be hog jowls and cabbage!:eek:

I cooked the blackeyed peas with smoked ham hock and chunks of country bacon. Tomorrow I'll cook the cabbage with more country bacon and a little splash of white wine (I don't drink, but I cook with wine), and will serve the peas over rice. Or maybe make hoppin' John.

Naturally the peas and cabbage will be seasoned with red pepper flakes and served with hot sauce.

Fortunately I live alone except for a little dog who doesn't mind. :D

Times are tight so dinner might be skimpy

After the holidays, funds are tight so I have to look in the freezer for what 'hunting & gathering' has provided.

Tonight will be crab salad & deep fried prawns w/biscuits.

Tomorrow we have deep fried halibut w/batter dipped button mushrooms, broccoli, pearl onions & left-over biscuits.

Nothing exciting here, just subsistence food :)
 
Cornbread made in GGGrandmother's iron skillets. OK, I use a mix these days, but it needs real eggs & milk.
Black-eyed peas with whatever ham bone / scraps I've got.
Turnip greens with Louisiana hot pepper sauce.
Smoked ham. Best be the Smithfield of 50 years ago.

I've found a way to do that or a regional equivalent in the many countries I've lived in.

But this year is a punt. All the Smithfield packages in my local chain store were suspect, so I went for the local smoked ham. I did get out the skillets today to prep them, after a trip to the range with the .22 compact and VP9. That after a morning in the chemo lab.

It will just be me, but I'll cook for several, and take plates to some neighbors. Who knows if they eat it, but at my stage in "life", I don't much care. More that I can still offer.

Happy New Year to all and families.
 
Prime rib cooked on the treager, baked potato's, French bread and shrimp salad. and maybe a toddy or two. Below 0 here already, might take a little longer to cook in the morning
 
Dinner tonight was venison steak. fried MisSip sweet taters, Black Eye Peas cooked with a ham hock, a salad made with iceberg lettuce, Roma tomatoes, English Cucumber, Vidalia onion and "Kens" Lite Asian Sesame salad dressing and home made Corn Sticks coated with heavy salt butter.

Edit: Daaaaayyaammmm. That was some "GOOD EATIN"
