New Year's Day Meal

[RanchRoper]

My new diabetic diet: chicken and salad. seafood tomorrow though.

Red beans, rice, & ham. Corn bread. My wife cooked this from scratch every Jan1st for 50 years. Unfortunately, I don't have her cooking skills and it's just me now, so I do the best I can with Zatarains beans and rice mix.

Zatarains makes some good products.

It is, but can be improved with Louisiana Hot Sauce.

Have never had turnip greens or boiled cabbage but they both look good and I would try them. About the only food I absolutely would never try was Lutefisk. Being Norwegian/Danish on my mother's side they would always have it at Christmas family dinners, I did like the lefsa they always had with it.

I like this quote from the first link below
"One of the most entertaining origin stories claimed that St. Patrick used the lye-soaked fish in an attempt to poison Viking invaders, who ended up liking it and declaring it a delicacy."

Hospital food, not sure what it was supposed to be!

Hospital food, not sure what it was supposed to be!

I lived on hospital food for several weeks at Harborview in Seattle. After the first couple of their egg based breakfasts I found it was best to order a donut and cold cereal. Lunch and Dinner weren't much better, if it wasn't for their candy and snack machines I would have lost 20 pounds. Our smaller local hospital actually had decent food, nothing special but OK cafeteria type food.
