Collard greens, check! Hog jowls, check! Cornbread, on its way. [View all]

Buttermilk biscuits from scratch for breakfast. A pot of pinto beans (I ain't eatin' blackeyed peas, ugh!) on the stove. New Year's dinner has to start today.

Every day is a gift. Nobody gets promised tomorrow. But if we get tomorrow, we're having a (more-or-less) traditional southern New Year's chowdown!

How are y'all celebrating?
