strains of Auld Lang Syne
stream year end breezes

flavours of thyme shadon-bene pimentos
stirred into the blackeyed-peas-and-rice
with wishes for a good year ahead

a gathering of family and friends

    Oh, spicing up the traditional peas surely bodes well for the new year! Let's remember that all the ingredients are grown before it arrives.

    Gillena,

    It's lovely when traditional ways still exist for these special times in life. Having a certain menu, adds to the atmosphere of the occasion.
    Happy Christmas and New Year:)
