So Happy New Year readers. I hope this new year brings much love, happiness and success!

I had a fab New Year’s Eve and day. Had people over for wonderful champagne cocktails and then the group (about 10 of us in the end..included CB, JD, AB and BE) went to Philippe for dinner and to ring in the New Year! It was a great night…my sis DS even managed to make it by right before the clock struck midnight…so there I was with good friends, new friends and my family ringing in 2010.

P.S. To follow up on the orange eating tradition mentioned in previous post. Oranges are a tradition on my mom’s side of the family. You are supposed to eat oranges at the New Year and count how many seeds you get…the more seeds the better…means great wealth and good luck I suppose. I ate my orange this morning and found 8 seeds. Found there were other traditions like this when friend CB refused to eat an orange and is honoring her Southern roots by eating black eyed peas on the 1st day of the new year for good luck (and she said something about cabbage for folding money…hmmmm…curious). Well to each his own! Happy New Year again!

P.P.S. Now off to dinner at Katsuya in Brentwood with LG (of SheSez fame), her husband and SR! Uh oh…running late now!

    Happy New Year, Coco!! Looks like you had an absolutely fabulous celebration!

    I can shed light on the black-eyed peas tradition. The dish is called “Hoppin’ John.” The black-eyed peas signify coins, the rice is for luck, the collard greens stand for folding money and the cornbread is for gold. The more you eat, the more fortunate and prosperous you will be!

    I make a vegetarian version, but traditionalists make it with ham or smoked pork hock. The pork-related part of this new year superstition is because pigs cannot turn their heads, so they are unable to look behind them.

    Yesterday, I fed Hoppin’ John and cornbread to 38 people; it’s a tradition that my friends and neighbours enjoy immensely!

    Ruthita! Thank you for sharing the black eyed pea tradition with everyone! Arlene another reader had mentioned she does black eyed peas at New Years too.

    My dad’s side of the family is from Texas so I am suprised I had never heard of the New Year black eyed pea tradition! Good to know.

    I will now have to incorporate the black eyed peas into New Years 2011! Thanks again Ruthita!

    Well I hope all of you had a fantastic New Year!
