interesting new year traditions in food

[dem in texas]

17. I have made Tamales and Hoppin' John

Not at the Same Time. I live in the DFW area and you better get your Tamale order in early, way before Christmas. Usually a long line at the Tamale Factory.

Have a large ham in the fridge, planned to cook on New Years along with Hoppin' John, collard greens and cornbread. not now, my gas is turned off, have a gas leak in my house, so we are camping out at me daughter's place They couldn't find outside, so they have to go under the house, will be there on Tuesday,

I am just glad I called the gas company. Saw on TV that people in our area were having trouble with gas pressure and I thought that might be my problem. My furnace wasn't putting out enough heat.
