I don't have a food or cleansing tradition, but I sometimes participate in a NYC motorcycling tradition. The weather wasn't bad so there were more bikes than usual this year for the Isle of Manhattan ride. The name is a play on the famous Isle of Man race. The NYC New Years Day event is a quick lap around Manhattan with plenty of pleasant socializing before and after the ride. Lots of really cool bikes usually show up, which makes it even more fun.
Not only did I stay out late last night, which is really unusual for me, I woke up in time to participate in the Isle of Manhattan ride this year. Yay for getting the year off to a celebratory, invigorating start!

My parents always throw a party. Family and friends come over. Usually it's a last hurrah of drinking and eating. Everyone brings an appetizer or munchie to share. Just a chill, fun day before back to reality.

My tradition is usually to spend NYE by myself. I journal, do tarot readings, burn incense and candles, eat some favorite foods, watch movies and just reflect and "be" alone. This year I broke the tradition and spent it with my roommate. I plan on getting my groove on in a bit, though.

Well let's see now. Sausages, bacon, eggs, tomatoes, mushrooms, you can also have black pudding, Beans, and fied bread if you like. I have the first 5 on the list and some toast with butter, and a nice breakfast tea to go with it. You'll also be glad to know I grill the bacon, and the tomatoes,and I don't usually have anything for lunch after this heart attack meal lol, and I go either for a long walk if its nice and not raining, or a bike ride. Its a good counter balance. This is a new year treat, but I do like every now and again a good bacon sanie (sandwich) Hope this clears you question up. |

Eating black-eye peas for good luck and greens (collards for me) for money.
Also, opening the year with a house that’s spic and span. I did everything but fold the laundry—will get to that later today. Eating chit’lin’s is also a tradition in my family, but I didn’t order any this year. I’ll miss having some with hot sauce. Talking to family on the phone. It’s not a tradition but it’s something I do on most holidays since I don’t live close to family. |

Like Orema, I have to have the greens and black eyed peas but in the South we eat ham with it too. I was always told the greens represented dollars and the peas coins. If I had cornbread, that would represent gold, but it's hard to find good cornbread up here and I'm not really into making it so no gold for me this year. Not sure what the ham represents but it just goes so well with the others, it doesn't matter to me. All I know is that eating chicken or lobster on New Years Day is a no no. As an Italian, I also eat lentils. I had them all for brunch and it was delicious!
There's a superstition (more than a tradition) of not taking anything out of the house on New Years Day, including trash, but mine is looking pretty full. *eyeballing the can* |

It was always a day of shrimp cocktail. I don't think there is a specific meaning behind it. I think it just became a tradition at our house. Maybe it was a hangover treat?
My parents always had a New Year's eve party. We were small, holed up in our rooms. I dont remember much about the party except that we would sneak out to get food (it was catered). Also, remember the furniture was moved for dancing. In fact, the cement under the patio was finished with a dance floor finish. ( was fun to slip and slide on in the summer. But, once the pool was put in, it was a dangerous zone) And then there was the aftermath of the party the next morning. So perhaps shrimp cocktail was the "everybody" bloody mary??? Never knew of the black eyes pea thing until I moved to Texas. Oh, and The Rose Parade! Another California tradition.

Collards Greens Ingredients: – Ham bone (with meat on the bone), ham shank, ham hock – Collard Greens – Onion – Celery – Garlic – Red or Chipotle Pepper Flakes Directions: Wash the ham bone, shank, or hock really good. I like to get these fresh from the butcher or meat department. You can use frozen but they tend to be dirtier and are more difficult to wash than the fresh. Add the meat to a pot and cover with water or chicken stock. Bring the meat to a boil then simmer the meat for an hour or so. You don’t want the meat to fall off the bone, but you do want to cook it awhile before adding the greens. Just before adding the greens, sauté everything but the greens till the onions are translucent. Then add the veggies to the ham in the simmering water. Next add your washed collards to the pot and let boil for 30 to 45 minutes depending on how tender you like the greens. I also freeze my greens before cooking. My mother used to grow greens in her garden and would only pick them after the first frost. She said they were sweeter after the first frost. I don’t know if freezing helps, but it’s what I usually do. Add some sliced tomatoes with a little vinegar, some cornbread that does not include sugar or honey, and please invite me over for a taste—I’ll bring wine or dessert! |
