Wondering what your cooking for New Years?
Comments (35)Our tradition on NYE is shrimp. My Pops used to splurge and buy one of those 5# boxes of shrimp for a treat. Now Christy and I have traded that in for a nice shrimp remoulade for dinner since we're about ready for a salad supper by then. I make mine into a big shrimp salad with celery, some chunks of swiss and lots and lots of walnuts. I use the remoulade as the salad dressing. Today I had a Hawaiian traditional good luck brunch by having capellini for brekkie.. who knew. Supposed to have long noodle for luck and long life. This evening we had merliton casserole with shrimp. Mac an cheese made with rigitoni, steamed cabbage, roasted butternut cubes, blackeyes and rice made with nice Camelia black beans straight from La., and for our pork I roasted a couple of pork tenderloins. Not hard to do but the pork came out so perfect. Tomorrow we'll have our choice of leftovers. More shrimp salad sounds good to me with a side of merliton casserole....See Morewhat to eat at midnight on NYE. Any traditions?
Comments (10)We went to bed at 10:00pm. Fell asleep reading and woke up at 11:58pm...in time to let dogs out...then firecrackers started up...scared the dogs back into the house and back to bed. Hard to eat when you are sleeping. We haven't made it to midnight in years....getting old I guess. Plus I always think the new year starts the day after your birthday, not Jan.1 (Unless you were born on Dec.31!) Duane...See MoreTime to bury the money!! New Year's Eve tradition
Comments (29)Raven, just now seeing this, and I have never heard of this before...but I might do it next year....if I don't forget. I wanted to tell you what one of my friends does every year. He picks up any found money...like coins he finds on the parking lot, or whatever. He goes to the Texas City dike to fish a lot and often finds money there too. Just wherever he finds it. He puts it in a coffee can. At the end of the year, he puts it in a closet....writes the year on the cap of the can. He never spends it. I asked him if he counted it, and he said no. I have known him for 40 years and he has always done this. No telling how much money he has squirreled away like that. He is one of my best friends. I call him a "junk" friend because that is our common interest...we go to the flea markets together. He is very quirky...you should see his house! He has a duplex....lives in both sides of it. He might be called a "hoarder" but he is very neat and clean and everything is extremely well organized. He has dozens of collections. Like, in his bedroom is a tall cabinet with glass doors and many shelves. In it is many, many, many figurines of women/girls in long dresses. I said, "David, what is this?" He said, "Ladies in long dresses."...See MoreBurying the money
Comments (61)What Outside is describing will happen to anyone who begins Medicare coverage before starting Social Security. For those not getting some kind of government pension, Medicare has to be paid in advance, quarterly. So thinking of calendar quarters, imagine you paid in Dec-Jan for the Jan-March coverage period. Your Social Security benefits, from which Medicare is always deducted, start for the month of February and so February and March Medicare premiums have been paid twice. Medicare refunds the overpayment promptly. There's no bonus, a double payment gets refunded....See More
