The Hog Tradition

Hi RoRo,

I usually will make the following for New Year's (because my arse is in love with food)

Porkchops or Pork Roast
Blackeye peas
Cabbage with neckbones
Rice
Candied Yams
Cornbread

I have never heard of the $$ thing.  I am usually out and partying with the same group of people every year so that won't change this year.  I will be shaking my arse on the dance floor all night. 

My parents usually did the black eyed pea or navy bean thing along with chitterlings.

Hey Faith, were will you be shaking your arse this New Years?

****hijacked reply****

I will be shaking it right here in my hometown with relatives and friends.  I will down a few  too. 

Okay. I guess you don't recognize me because of the new avatar. I'm a part of the Houston crew too. I had plans for New Years, but due to recent events, I am making some adjustments. Just wanted to know where things would be happening around town.

(((((((((((((((Faith))))))))) all I know is they BETTA be positive people you are partying with!!!

Ro,

Your mom aint messing around lol

My mom also used to run around the house washing all the laundry before the new year lol


I will most definitely be enjoying my black eyed peas gotta make some cornbread for the family....I could definitely go for some fried fish!!!!!!



Pig ears hmmph I do know that some cook it in crock pots..... I love some chitlins  lol



Oh and I also try and have the money in my pocket.................Never wanted to take the chance just in case it does work lol.......

Moms cookin' all that mess in my crook pot early because I told her she has to give it up for the peas!

Only way to cook the peas is in a crook pot!!! 

My superstitions are clean laundry, and black eyed peas, rice and greens for good luck and money.  But also let a man walk into the house first for New Year's.  Never knew what it meant but you know how mama and grandma always told u but never gave u the meaning.  Bringing in the New Year in church but I don't think that works cause I did that last year and haven't been to church in the last 6 months!

And I try to not to go into the New Year with the same mess from the previous year!!  (I made this up)  LOL!!

I swear I neva heard of the man across the doorstep before today....see see that must be a lesbian thang....lol

see the only thing I really "believe" in is a clean house.  My mom always told us you have to have a clean house for the new year.  But, I think that was my moms way of making sure when we took our selves back to school she didn't spend all day cleaning up our mess from winter break.

Then I think who you bring the year in with will have the most impact on your year.  i guess that is why i usually bring it in with family.
