Black-eyed peas and collard for luck and prosperity. Eat a double helping, it helps.

I made a bread pudding in the crock pot for dessert Christmas Eve.

I would not repeat that experiment again. I used a recipe that I have made with great success several times in the oven and it was not as good in the crockpot. Perhaps it was the extra hours held on "warm" after it was done or the 2 hours in the car more than being cooked in the crockpot, but I think it was the condensation dripping back into the pudding that made it gummier than when baked.

For some Italians, it's cotecchino (a great sausage, but you don't want to ask what's in it) and lentils.

I plan on sleeping it off all day on the 1st, is that meal appropriate on the 2nd as well?

For some reason, I associate fondue with New Year's, but I'm not sure the origin of that, or whether it's a geographical thing.

I have obtained the materials for this and cornbread. I need luck and the other.

Should I make a ginger-y pumpkin pie, or rasberry-y, ginger-y or peanut butter-y brownies for dessert?

Here's a gratuitous little health tip. You can get smoked turkey legs for both. They give you the same flavor as a ham hock, but with a fraction of the fat.

since liquor "flavoring" seems to be your best source of booze right now, I"d make bourbon pecan pie. or vodka pasta sauce?

Not ginger-y brownies.

Any of the others would be OK. If you're going on a Southern food theme, you could make sweet potato pie instead of pumpkin pie.

I's using bacon. Not healthy, but tasty.

I do as well. While there is Swiss blood in my veins, I suspect this has more to do with my father wearing a leisure suit in the 70s.

There's no theme, but I may try to make the pumpkin pie have redeeming value.

If you're making black-eyed peas and collard greens, that's a Southern food theme in my book!

How do you make pumpkin pie have redeeming value?
