We always start out the new year with high expectations that it's going to be a great year and we're going to accomplish all the things this year that we couldn't get quite right last year. That's a good thing, because we keep trying. I think the key is to make yourself accountable. Last night my daughter asked everyone what their resolution for the new year was and then we decided we're going to start a new tradition. We're going to write our New Year's Resolution down and pack it away with our New Year's Eve decorations, horns and hats to be brought out next year. Then we can see how well we've done and we'll have a whole crowd to be accountable to!
I have to share that we put together one of the best spreads last night. It always comes together somehow when it's time to eat! Our favorite new additions (and lucky ones!) were pork shanks and saurkraut balls. The the pork shanks are grilled with barbeque sauce and are out of this world. The saurkraut balls were from Barley's in Columbus. They were to die for! The tradition to have saurkaut and pork on New's Years Day for good luck was something new to me when I moved to Ohio. I looked up the tradition and found some controversy about where it originated, but here's an interesting piece about New Year's Day food traditions. American New Year's traditions.
