Hi Folks! Thanks for the wonderful responses on the New Year's tradition. Looks like kraut, blackeyed peas adn some form of cooked cabbage was had by all. We had western style BBQ ribs, cooked cabbage, homemade scalloped potatoes and cornbread lemon pie and chocolate pie for dessert. My hubby does not like cooked cabbage so I also make cole slaw every year so he can have his portion of cabbage. I guess it doesn't matter how you fix it as long as you have it. Ann
