A New Years Day Dinner in the Woods

Johnny at the wood stove
       Menu for New Years Day Dinner

Black eye peas simmered with hog jowl

Cabbage simmered with butter and salt

Skillet corn bread cakes

Hickory chickens*  baked with hot sauce

Greens simmered




We enjoyed all except for the greens. The greens were missing from the meal cause one of the quests,
well I quess she celebrated alot the night before.
This meal is a tradition in many countries because it is believed to bring good luck and money
in the new year. So, bring it on.  I'll  have seconds, please.






* the hickory chickens is a Appalachia term for a wild Oyster mushroom
   we just picked the mushrooms that morning from poplar trees
   they are a delicacy, tasty and addictive.
