 What type of food are ya'll cooking for New years. any finger foods or is it regular dinner

 we are doing stuff easy.  i'm done with chaos of holidays.  tonight is all finger foods, dips, a birthday cake for my dd.  tomorrow will probably be the same.  seafood dip, mozarella sticks, my dd's chili dip (yum!), potato skins, shrimp cocktail, tampanade (spe?), all those good fattening kinda things. 

 I'm not cooking at all! I did Christmas Day, my Mom did Christmas Eve and my sister is doing New Year's Eve. And I know my sis isn't cooking... she's bringing in hot food!

 We mix our Southern with our German heritage and my mother and I will be preparing pork chops (in lieu of lamb chops which none of us care for) fried potatoes, kraut, black eyed peas cooked with a teeny, tiny bit of hog jowl, "green stuff" aka a slimmed down version of Watergate Salad and cornbread.

For dessert we will have my dad's birthday cake which is a Black Walnut Cake that his mother started making for him when he was just a small boy. It's everyone's favorite cake!! (My dad is a New Year's baby. )

 I don't even know! 

 we don't do much for new years, dh will be cooking dinner tonight, tomorrow we'll get up, have a nice breakfast to watch the Rose parade and then I'll spend the day making my homemade lasagna.

 sandwiches, chips, dips, etc.....

 My DH is cooking and he won't tell me what.  He's not known for his cooking ability, so I'm a little nervous, but at least I don't have to do it.

East stuff from the grocery deli.....BLT pasta salad, seafood salad with wheatables crackers, fried shrimp from the local seafood shop. Then tomorrow I'm making a big pot of homemade chicken noodle soup and some crusty bread....yum! 

 Regular food

 Vietnamese eggrolls for dinner, and then to friends for finger foods

 We'll have a huge sit down meal at my parents. Yea! I don't have to cook!!

 Not sure!

COOK????  ummmm. if it can't be bought already made today, we ain't having it.

 COOKING??? Is that what you are supposed to do....

 Leftovers! We could have homemade soup, or pasta, or pizza. So many choices and I don't have to cook!

 Whatever is in the fridge! I am holidayed..is that a word...out:)

 I've got a big bowl of marinated blackeyed pea salad in the fridge for tomorrow.  I'm going to an all-day crop in the morning and everyone is supposed to bring something to eat.  It will be interesting to see what is there.  I put some of the salad aside for the rest of my family at home.

 Dh cooked a regular wonderful meal.
