NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTION
I resolve to stop calling Chicken Pies "Chicken Pot Pie"
They are NOT the same thing !

Erm, what is the difference? Inquiring minds need to know!
Happy New Year, everyone!!!
In 2019, I made Hoppin' John soup to take to a New Year's Eve party. About half of the revelers ate it. Those that ate it, like me, had a fairly okay year during 2020. Yes, the closures and headaches, but all-in-all, I really cannot complain compared to many. In retrospect, I felt pretty lucky as my health held out, etc.
Skipping to this year, I made it again hoping that luck holds out. Despite all of my "higher education," I continue to be strangely superstitious. I do wonder whether anyone else has lucky traditions?

LT, that might be Bell & Evans definition, but I have to say it is not universal. Back home in OH, my only experience with pot pies, chicken or otherwise, was Banquet or Swanson's. When we moved to MA, I needed to pick up something for a quick supper on a day of much errand running. I grabbed a "chicken pie" made by a local company. Imagine my surprise when we broke the crust...it was just crust, chicken, and sauce. NO veggies. I have since learned that IF I want to buy one at the store, I make sure the label calls it a "chicken pot pie". That one will get me the veggies, too. Better yet, though, I just make them myself now.
It's amazing how long one can go without going...
Not so much lucky traditions, but I do have a serious superstition during baseball games. When I was little, my Mom's brothers had a tendency to drop by on Saturday evenings - maybe one, maybe both, maybe not at all. But when they did, they would play cards. Whoever was winning made sure they didn't take a bathroom break because it would "change their luck". This morphed into a superstition my Mom had - if the Cleveland Indians were winning, we did not go to the bathroom.

Happy New year, All. I truly hope that it's a better one than last year.

I'm stuck on pot pie being with a crust. I thought a chicken pie was just with chicken and gravy but a chicken pot pie had veggies. Interesting. I wonder whether it is something regional. If you falter on your NY resolution, I won't hold it against you.

Thank you for sharing that! I love rituals for luck or superstitions - no matter what they are! Your family may be grateful that I cheer for another baseball team because there is zero chance of my making it through a baseball game without a bio break! Perhaps when I was younger....but...well, not even when I was younger.
