What are you serving this year?

I'll wake up and kick some leftovernight birdbrains awake.

Then bloody Mary's (since I'm the designated driver) for breakfast with a
two
foot Italian hoagie (oil & vinegar) and oven warmed up 2-foot cheesesteak
and
turn on the Mummers Parade and switch between it and the Rose Bowl parades
then switch between the football bowl games ending after the Rose Bowl
then
kick everybody out by 9:00pm, hopefully.

My New Year's Resolution/prayer is to get me and my friends and family
through 2008.

Those are big Hoagies!

Lol, where I am we burn briquettes not eat them

I use hardwood charcoal rather than briquettes.

No, it is fermented, like pickles, traditionally in barrels. think of
it as a kind of pickled cabbage.

Sauerkraut? Mustard?

Happy New Year, Angela!

Never mind -- you're right. It's some nasty stuff. You'd probably
drop dead on the spot from just the smell, let alone actually eating
it.

Not gluten in there that I know of.

Don't think I would like it then since I'm not real big on pickles.

We use a gas grill. If we want smoky flavor, I wrap some smoking chips
in foil and poke them with a hole or two.

Is there anything you typically serve in your house for New Year's day?

Well, tomorrow there's just us - we've done with all the visiting for
the season - so there will be;
- hummous and taramasolata with carrot, tomato, celery and cucumber as
dip, pitta bread for the carb-eaters, and maybe I'll get round to
making some low-carb tortillas for me;
- left-over belly pork for sandwiches; plenty of lettuce in the
fridge, also mayo and mustard, MUST make tortillas : )
- the spare-ribs I cut off the belly pork, which are baking in some
hoisin sauce as I write
- brownies made with erythritol

Apart from the lettuce, about the only veggie I have left in the house
is a butternut squash, so I guess that's for supper! Good job the
organic boxes start up again on Wednesday...

Sesame Crackers

"As holiday parties are coming up, these are good to take along so you
have something to eat all the dips with.

Mix together 1 cup almond meal, 1 egg white, 2 TB sesame seeds, 1/4 tsp
lite salt, 1/4 tsp garlic powder and 1/4 tsp onion powder.

Put bits of dough about the size of marbles on a foil-lined cookie
sheet. Cover with a piece of plastic wrap and flatten with the bottom
of a glass until very thin. Bake at 300 for about 15 minutes.

It took me 3 batches to get them all cooked; this recipe made 32 crackers.

For 1/4 of the recipe, these have 7 g total carb (4 is fiber), 8 g
protein and 191 calories."

I found them a tad fiddly to make so doubt I'd be making them often, but
they were quite good.

A nice change from the Wasa-type cracker all the time.

I really liked them and being an old cookie baker I didn't mind the "fiddly"
part. I'll definitely make them again soon.

Speaking of cookies ... I took a "flax-z-snax" brand brownie mix and added
the required 2 eggs plus 1/4 cup da vinci cherry flavor syrup (instead of
water) and 1/4 cup each of chopped fresh cherries, sugar free choc chips &
pecans. Baked them as cookies. It made 36 cookies and the mix makes 16
brownies at 5 carbs each. I figure with the added ingredients each cookie
should be around 3 carbs each. They were really good.
