This meal is tradition. Pork, sauerkraut, and black eyed peas (bonus this year: mashed potatoes and PBR). I’ve had this meal for New Year’s every year since I can remember. I thought it was pretty common (at least the pork and sauerkraut) but almost none of my friends had even heard of this.
Luckily, Lis had a friend, Liz, visiting from out of town. In conversation she mentioned that her dad was disappointed she wouldn’t have her good luck meal on New Years. So, it just turned out that there was actually someone else with the tradition! Anyways, I already bought the pork and black eyed peas, so after we saw Sherlock Holmes, we got the sauerkraut and are prepared for the new year.

Anyway.

Here is my first beer of the New Year:

After dinner, we went on a tour of Columbia’s finest trees (Big Tree and Magic Tree).

Brian and I:

And then we went to Big Tree!

Not the best shot… It was too cold to stay out very long at all. I shot this from the car.

So, I put my name on the fridge. “Keith”. Then I came back a while later and it said “Keith wishes you a merry new year”. Then on new year’s day it said “Keith wishes you a mary poppins”. Then by time I got around to taking the picture it said “Keith wishes you a mary poopins.” Yeah… I dont know.
