I've been wondering? Do you eat anything special on New Years Day for any particular reason? Health, money or whatever? I seem to remember my family in Indiana having cabbage to bring money? Today I was watching the tv cooking show CHOPPED, and they mentioned black-eyed peas, which was new to me. I googled and found 12 Traditional New Year's Foods That Bring Good Luck in the Year Ahead:

• Pork. (for inspiration?)
• Black-Eyed Peas. ...
• Greens. ...
•   Grapes. (12 grapes, 1 for each month?)
  
•   Noodles. ...
• Lentils. ...
•   Fish. ...
• Pomegranates.

and what not to eat on New Years, here.  I am guessing different cultures and locations have different customs? What do you think/know?

I think it is so interesting, please let me know?

Update ...

 

Feeling sentimental. And blessed. 

I've been retired (but still busy) for ten years.

I still hear from former students at this time of year.

Some are still in school, working or in college.

Some have graduated from college, several with master degrees. Several CPA's out there. A professional baseball coach, a music creator for film, a hotel concierge, a chef and more.

Many are married, many have families and pets to show me.    Just a few are retired and also busy.

I smile as I read every word. Wonderful memories surface. I smile again as I think of their future.

God is good.
