Happy 2013! |
Our karamu (Kwanzaa feast) with Squash, Lentil, and Chickpea Stew w/ Peanuts and Cilantro; North African Spiced Carrots; Southern Kale; and Fresh Fruit Salad with Whipped Cream |
Boxing Day Feast of Ham, Smashed Garlic Peas, and Parsnip and Potato Hash Browns. |
Helping prepare a Breakfast Casserole for our NYE overnight guests. V cut the chicken sausages and learned how to crack eggs |
Cardamom Pistachio Rice Pudding for NYE dessert--whoever found the whole almond in their cup will have luck all year. |
Cooking down a pot of Southern Style Collards for our auspicious NYE menu. |
Lots of lucky foods on our table: Hoppin' John, Collards, Lentil Soup, Pork, Fish (Herring), and other offerings to round of the evening with good friends |
And we welcomed 2013 with our neighbors grilling weinies and sipping champagne in the park at noon on New Year's Day. |

Jodi--thanks for checking it out. I popped over to your blog this morning too. Will have to look at it more. I hope the UHL went well. Wanted to attend, but sometimes in the throes of parenting and keeping up with everything else I find that I can't make it to every one of these amazing local groups that I can. Will try to stay tuned. What's your e-mail?
