I've been doing a whole lot of cooking since Thanksgiving, lots of things to
give away, cookies, candies, breads, cakes, etc. so would like to something
simple for New Years Eve. We will stay home and there will just be the two
of us, so I'm going to go with cold food. I think cauliflower salad, salami,
cheeses, olives and things like that. Any other cold suggestions? Happy New
Year everyone.

I had a coupon for some little wrapped Kosher hot dogs. I got those for
husband. Otherwise it will be the sorts of things you mentioned. I often
pop popcorn. And I will open my can of black eyed peas.

When I could eat cheese, I liked cheese stuffed Anaheim's. Sorry, no
recipe. I got it online. The same one no longer seems to be there. But I
have seen similar.

I like little hot dogs. I'm going to Costco tomorrow so will look for
something like that too. On New Years Day I will make black eyed peas and
cornbread, will give most of it away to a couple of friends that expect it.
Happy New Year Julie.

Smoked Salmon! You can even, if you like, use cream cheese stuffed into
celery stalks with the salmon laid on top for a low carb version. It goes
well on crackers, or that dark scandinavian rye or pumpernickle, etc., not
just with bagels. For a salad like treat, take a thick slice of tomato
top with sliced red onionandthen the smoked salmon or lox. If you canget
hot smoked salmon that is also very god, even just plain or on a crcker or
cucmber slice.

Wendy-who will, once again , be alone this new Years Eve and missing Syd
blowing his rumpet out the window at midnight, auld lang syne, of course.

Must be a musician thing. My son, a music education major at Mizzou,
has been blowing his trombone (his major instrument is euphonium) out of
the window for several years. I know he really looks forward to that.
I won't be with him at New Years, but will be thinking about him then
and will include you and Syd in my thoughts.

I love smoked salmon, but didn't think of it, thanks!!! I know Syd will be
there in spirit. Happy New Year Wendy.

It is a musician thing, particularly if you play a nice loud one like the
brasses. Not much point to use a flute or oboe and how do you get a
double bass out the window:-)

Thanks for the thoughts. I will think of you thinking of me and not feel
so alone.

As a longtime flute player I can agree totally with the loudness of the
brasses. I can, however, assure you that I can probably shatter windows
in the next block with my piccolo. (-:

Also ear drums! My daughter is a flutist(or flautist) and I listened to
her practice at one end of he apartment as my husband practised the
trumpet at teh otherend. I had to learn to turn it off:-)

Happy New Year to you too. There will just be the two of us, so if I do have
a cocktail...it will be a tomato beer, made with Miller Chill. :-)

How about some cold black eyed peas aka Okiehoma Caviar?

That does sound good, but friends like the regular hot kind with cornbread
so I'll make that.
