Daughter and husband like smoked meats but I do not. They just taste funny
to me.

its one of the few ways i can enjoy meat smokier the better, this particular
place has turkey legs on offer regularily, but you can special order the
same day and have them gaurenteed. after the turkey day disaster this
seemed to b a better option,

I found some smoked cooked turkey legs here once. I think the brand was
Dietz. We like their turkey so I bought a lot of them. And then my husband
wouldn't eat them. I don't think Angela tried them.

i like turkey legs in general, smoked i really like and could eat very often
in place of chicken, Lee

New Year's menus aren't a tradition here. You are more likely to find
many parties at which there are bbq's, nibblies, copious amounts of
alcohol and drunks trying to kiss you at midnight

I do not like dark meat from turkey or chicken. I can eat turkey breast a
few times a year but it is by no means a favorite food.

I bought a nice Pork Loin, which we will have with sauerkraut , mashed
potatoes, corn, biscuits, applesauce. I Lay a bed of sauerkraut in the pan
mixed with chunky onions, then place the pork on top of it...cover and bake
....I take the cover off the last half hour. My Mother always made pork ribs
with sauerkraut .

x-no-archive: yes

We're walking to and from one of our favorite local restaurants to have
dinner by a fireplace at 7 pm. We'll have champagne and caviar in bed at
midnight if we manage to stay up. :-)

I only heard about the black eyed peas a few years ago. But I love black
eyes peas so... What better excuse to eat them?

I didn't know about this tradition, but I find that I like to eat the
way Germans reputedly eat. Give me pork and cabbage any day!

However, I'll be working on the turkey carcass until I go back to work
on Monday, so it'll probably be tetrazzini (sans pasta) or turkey and
mushrooms in leftover gravy or the like. I think Saturday will be when
I make the soup.

PP, up to her elbows in turkey
