Last night's leftover pizza. No complaints here.

My roommate made turkey dinner two days ago. Leftovers and turkey/stuffing/cranberry sandwich tonite.

I went all out southern. I had pork chops cooked with scallions, Black Eyed Peas cornbread and collard greens. Of course the Black Eyed Peas and collard greens were cooked in chicken stock, spices and ,of course, with a ham hock.

You cooked all of that? Man you ready to get married

Ild send you a picture if i could. I had cabbage, black eye Peas and rice, pork roast, sweet potatoes. I ate at my neighbors...lol.

Oh yes... chicken and sausage gumbo on the side.

I went out for breakfast this morning which put me in a carb coma but helped me to get a nap. I have been in a severe sleep deficit so the nap was the plan. And this evening I baked some brie bites in a crust that must have come from Trader Joe's. They were taking up space in the freezer. It was that or a peanut butter sandwich, and I needed the freezer space (but oh my golly I could have used the deck it's -5 right now.)

We had rice with black eyes and chopped onions on top, beef tenderloin, roasted sweet and white potatoes, tossed salad, collard greens with sausage, key lime pie, chocolate cupcakes. Forgot the cornbread!

I made Dirty Rice with caramelized corn and onions. It was pretty tasty.

It's Jan 2 here now. New Year's Day meal was lamb curry. No special reason.

Today, it was a stew with all the leftover veggies from a week of cooking for all the vegan potluck parties. Onions, garlic, carrots, cabbage, eggplant, celery, tomatoes, potatoes, and lots and lots of herbs and spices. No oil. No salt. No animals. No fat. But remarkably lots of taste! And cruelty-free.

Orange chicken and fried rice for me and my monster.

Hoppin john with ham and black eyed peas for good luck

Chili Mac. Spaghetti with homemade chili instead of sauce.

I had a chimichanga, a taco and an enchilada after being up until 6am, it was heavenly.

Carrots and celery

Everything seems to be in crises - politics, religion, global conditions, family relations, drug problems - everything! What can be done?

Pulled pork sammiches.

Eating LAST YEARS humble pie.

steak and chips and apple pie

I hung out with some friends last night (even though I said I was going to stay home because I had been out the previous two nights). The bar I was at had some snacks, so I just munched on that stuff in between singing karaoke.

I try not to be superstitious, but the only year I didn't have black-eye peas, cornbread, and chicken-fried steak was one of the worst years of my life. So that's what I ate today. I like Korean chicken dishes very much the rest of the year.

Just some tortellini and coke-zero.
