December 27, 20186 yr What do you got? Menus, cocktails, tv, entertainment, etc? What do you usually do, what will you be doing this year? I usually pop the champagne around 10 nye, and then have another bottle on nyd. nye for me revolves around flipping channels between all the nye shows on tv, watching any and all bowl games that are on, and checking out the fireworks from my balcony. should be nice fireplace weather this year too. I'm undecided what I will make for a nice meal that night. have in the past done prime rib, fried oysters, etc. Am thinking this year might be pulled pork with spicy cole slaw. nyd is black-eyed pea dip, great for bowl games. usually fried oysters too, but uncertain about the meal that day also. need to come up with something special for the sugar bowl that night.
December 27, 20186 yr Go to ranch in South Texas. Cook ribeyes for dinner. Sit out by fire under stars and drink until New Years arrives. Hunt hungover next morning. Take long nap after hunt.
December 27, 20186 yr End/Start the year with a bang, start fucking 11:58pm and be dead asleep by 12:02am.

December 27, 20186 yr Chill at home with the wife and kid on NYE. Nice dinner, thinking NY Strips, baked potato, sautéed spinach. Good bottle of wine. Hopefully get some ass and be in bed a little after midnight. NYD- black eyed peas, cornbread and collard/turnip greens. Watch football and Twilight Zone marathon on syfy. One of the best days of the year IMO.
December 27, 20186 yr Stay home, cook, drink a little...or a lot. I hate going out on NYE. Fucking amateur hour.
December 27, 20186 yr Wife and I usually got out for a good meal then go to a friends party. This year we’ll be in New Orleans with a dozen or so friends.
December 27, 20186 yr Wife was born on NY so we go to Houston’s, now Hillstone, for dinner on New Years Day. NYE I drink a bunch of whiskey and keep her up until midnight. I hammer away to give her an early birthday present and pass out soon after mission is accomplished.
December 27, 20186 yr Shoot off a shitton of fireworks with kids, friends and neighbors from 7 until midnight with a big finale. Everyone makes a lot to eat. Go to bed about 1.I'll be in Colorado this year and I don't think they'll let me take the fireworks onboard. So me and the kids will watch whatever fireworks show they put on in created butte then go to bed and ski the next day.

December 31, 20186 yr My family adopted a tradition that some close friends of ours had (they are Columbian/Italian, but I'm not sure the origin). Everyone gets 12 red seedless grapes (usually in a ziploc bag) and at 11:59 you eat all 12 before midnight. Supposed to bring good luck of some such thing.
January 1, 20196 yr On a whim 3 years ago after taking the boys to Sea World, we picked up stuff to make Chalupas, went home, had some drinks and let the boys play until they got tired. Chalupas are our new tradition.

January 1, 20196 yr Black-eyed peas are primed for tomorrow. I'm going to get some legit peas next year and hang on to at least a quart. Has anyone else sat around in the evening and shelled peas? So redneck. I would go gather dandelions for greens, but I would be the only one to eat them. Collards, or mustard, or spinach, or turnip or whatever I can find. Cornbread in an iron skillet. Whatever pig or bird or cow is left is going to be wrapped in a tortilla and called a taco.

January 1, 20196 yr Just opened a bottle of Cava. Damn good stuff. Like i need another reason to fall in love with Spain.

January 1, 20196 yr Backstrap, chicken fried, biscuits n gravy and black eye peas. Lots of beer. Then i then I will have lunch.
January 1, 20196 yr Made some black eyed pea roux gumbo. Those awful peas are made into a roux. It works pretty wellSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
January 1, 20196 yr My plan was not to eat it in the shower last night and fucking up my back. Been laying in bed all day with spasms.
January 1, 20196 yr Wife and I took the day off from work, had made plans to just snack on finger foods and watch football all day... we lose power @7:30am and had to go to Applebees to watch the games and grab a bite to eat. Fucked up all of our plans.

January 2, 20196 yr Saw some smoked pork neck bones as I was reaching for the hocks so I went with those instead. Worked out real nice Clark. Edited January 2, 20196 yr by threesheets

That is the most perfectly cylindrical eye of a ribeye that I've ever seen in my life. It's either that, or you let it sit on top of a coffee can for like an hour.
