I celebrated the start of the new year by sleeping in.
Everyone was gone by 9pm last night, and I was in bed an hour later. I did hear some fireworks going off at midnight, but drifted right back to sleep. Foodwise, I didn't do too bad. I did partake of the fondue, and had some cheese and triscuits and some shrimp, and stayed away from all the sweets. But I had two amaretto and ginger ales, and I'm sure they weren't any good for me.
Today we're taking down the tree and the rest of the decorations and getting the house back to normal. We're having all the family over tomorrow for our postponed Christmas dinner and they want me to keep my tree up, but I'm tired of looking at it.
For supper today, we're having our traditional New Year's dinner of pork and sauerkraut, black-eyed peas, and cornbread. I'll cook my sauerkraut separate from the pork, and have a nice plate of that with the black-eyed peas, and a small piece of cornbread. If I get ambitious, maybe I'll make the fake cornbread for myself, then I can have a bigger piece.
I wish you all a Happy and Healty New Year!
