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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I hate going out on NYE. Fucking amateur hour. 

No truer words.  You couldn’t pay me to go out on New Years Eve.  Over priced, crowded, get th B team working so shitty service and a bunch of fucking yahoos who don’t get out but once a year and don’t know how to act.  Pass.

Stayed home and drank a few nice bottles of wine. Loved it.

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.

that looks like you checked all the boxes - cabbage, collards, black-eyed peas, cornbread.  i did it up in similar fashion, except my cabbage was in the form of cole slaw on pulled pork sandwiches.

Yep.   Greens were a collard/turnip/mustard trio.

The steak looks perfect, but what the fuck kind of steak voodoo is going on here? 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.

Dude... That is crazy. Didn't notice that. No coffee can sitting.
