It's been so fun and enlightening, I thought we'd keep it going!

Along with cooking up some black-eyed peas for tomorrow's New Year's Day dinner, I am going to try cooking up some of doc's corn meal mush/polenta! That really sounds good to me and I have never tried polenta before. I cannot find prepared polenta anywhere! Where is it in the stores??? The pineapple and coconut sounds really yummy... pina colada mush!

Our dinner tomorrow will be chicken in the crockpot with three kinds of squash, black-eyed peas, rice, spinach salad (in place of the greens I don't have the courage to try and cook!), and rolls! What else are you supposed to eat for good luck??? My daughters said pomegranates, but I couldn't find them at the grocery store this afternoon.

So, what are you making for New Year's? What's your family traditions?
