Mollyanne, I don't tell you often enough how I love coming to this incredible thread to see all of these works of art. I appreciate all the searching you do for the enjoyment of all of us.....it boggles the mind that without pictures, this art would perish like all food. In the end, you are the real keeper here.
Smooch, my friend, and Merry Christmas.
 
What a lovely Christmas present your post was, kayelle. Such kind words from a special friend...thank you :flowers:. It's like a fun visual discussion. Afterall, a picture is worth a thousand words (I just made that up :D).

Happy New Year to Y'all :clap:...It's been an awesome year of fun, making new friends, and learning new things here in the DC forum...thank you all!

1. *Clink* Cheers!

Also traditional is collard greens, but I used to have collard greens spice. The last potful I made using smoked ham hocks and that spice mixture was the best ever. I need to see if they have some at my local Walmart. Home made collard greens and cornbread, MmMmMmM

Loved your post MA. *CLINK* back at ya. Happy New Year, lady.

I totally agree with Kayelle, MA. Seeing what you have found is always a highlight of my day. I appreciate the work you have done.

Zhizara, I love greens. Once, I made the BEST greens I've ever had. I wrote down the recipe and carefully placed it where I could find it. I'm still seeking that safe place. What is the Walmart spice mixture called?

Cheers to you all and Happy New Year!

It wasn't from Walmart, unfortunately, I'm just hoping since my Walmart is in New Orleans, deep in the south where we love our greens, they might have some.

I can't remember where I found it, nor the brand name but it was one of those huge containers like restaurants use.
 
It's like a party with all this *clinking* goin' on :LOL:
Zhizara, that DOES sound good. You all are fun!

Here's some New Years partyfood for us.

I'm making those Posh Piggies (above) today! Bought 2 sheets of Trader Joes' ready-to-bake "Handcrafted Artisan Puff Pastry" and says "Pate Jeuilletee" on the front (huh?). Can't wait to see how they turn out...could become a tradition :)

Meanwhile, a New Years Celebration in Japan:
