Is that a regional tradition Rich? Don't think I've ever heard of that one. Down south it's cabbage and black eyed peas. Just saying.....

Supposed to give you good luck for the year with blackeyed peas and cabbage, don't know though. Hasen't always worked for me.
Maybe I need to try the kraut and taters!!

Up north the sauerkraut mash potatoes is to bring you a lot of money in the next year.

Yes Rich...I have kraut and pork chops in the slow cooker overnight and will mash potatoes tomorrow afternoon. Always start the new year that way...just like my grandma showed me years ago.
Another thing we used to do up north on New Years was to shoot shotguns and pistols in the air at midnight.

I know people who still do that but never did it myself. Never seemed like a good idea standing outside knowing that lead was going to be falling somewhere.
I grew up in Virginia and now live in North Carolina. We always have "hoppin' john" which is a mix of rice, black-eyed peas, crushed tomatoes, a little onion, ham and some sweet pepper (or jalapeno, if you are so inclined". Tradition calls for each member of the family to stir the pot. It is supposed to bring good luck for the New Year. Happy New Year to everyone and God Bless the USA!

That does sound yummy.
I grew up mostly in the deep South until I joined the Army and then married a full-blooded Yankee gal (German heritage and a great cook) here in Wisconsin. I still can't get her interested in black-eyed peas or grits, but she has acquired a taste for Cajun flavors (though in moderation).
I hope y'all have a great New Year. At least we got past the 21st.....

No shooting in the air here. Shannon's law precludes that. Shannon was a young lady killed when a round fired in the air fell and hit her in the head and killed her. Sad thing that caused a few to think about it. Still hear gunfire but the police have sensors that can pinpoint the shot and they are usually Johnny on the spot.
Happy and safe New Year to all!

Plenty of room on my place for lead to fall safely. I ripped off 20 rounds through the Saiga. It was bird shot so if somebody was trespassing they would think it was raining poppy seeds. Police should be here anytime.
We also do the cabbage, slaw, and/or the peas. I am not to serious about it though.
