Happy Birthday @Maison Rustique!! I'm superstitious too, @Norm Matthews. The last few months of 2025 were a lot but I know it could have been worse so why not do all we can for luck lol. I did ham steak with mustard sauce, Hoppin John --used Super Lucky 2026 Rancho Gordo BEP's, deviled eggs and cheesy brussels sprouts (I figure those count for cabbages/money)

Patti, you did so great! I'm sitting here wishing I had a big plate with everything on it. I don't ever soak black eyed peas, either.

Splurged on some lobster tails. Thanks to @weinoo @KennethT@gfweb @rotuts and everyone else that helped me on the SV thread! They turned out perfectly. Also splurged on some Wellfleet Oysters (always makes me think of @liamsaunt) Cheesy potatoes and roasted asparagus Ronnie didn't get any apple galette on Christmas Eve so I made another one for dessert Happy New Year everyone!!

We are broccoli lovers, too. I love it raw on salads. And, like you said both of those sauces are delicious --especially the cheese

🤣 You won't like it. It's mostly broccoli 🤣 Dressing: Mix: 1 cup mayo (I like Hellman's) 4 TB red wine vinegar 3 TB sugar Salt Pepper ---I honestly don't measure. Some days I like more dressing, some days I don't . Broccoli--stems cut off and cut small enough to eat--Probably 5-6 cups? Shredded sharp cheddar Crispy bacon broken into bite size pieces Chopped onion--I like red the best but white or yellow are fine too. Mix all together. If not eating right away I add the bacon just before serving or else it gets less crispy Optional: Salted sunflower seeds Craisins or raisins

This looks very good. I'mma gonna have to find this and make it!

🤣 As an only child that gets overwhelmed when more than three people are in the room, I would need a lot of wine lol or something stronger

Are you kidding me? Your cookies look amazing, too! SO much work. I love the dipped peanut butters.

That sounds so relaxing and fun!

It's never too early for a glass of wine--for you, not him 🙃

I think it all looks AMAZING. I'd definitely dive into all of that.

This is an extraordinary amount of talent and work! Anyone who is getting these beautiful cookies is a very lucky person! And, yes, WOW. I would so love to dive into a bowl of that soup. You did amazing!

😳I've never heard of this site! This could be dangerous for me

Shrimp cocktail sounds so good right now. However, my mom and I just had a huge talk last night about Die Hard --and it is NOT (my opinion) a Christmas movie. My mom adamantly says Die Hard IS a Christmas movie. Yippee-Ki-Yay 😆

I'm exhausted just reading this. I don't know how you do it all.
