New Years is just around the corner and while some women may be thinking about what glittery top to wear and how they will manage to totter in their high heels, my thoughts (not surprisingly) have turned to food.
I found a round up of lucky foods to eat for New Years Eve on Martha Stewart. I love learning about what rituals different cultures have for New Years. Eating something ring shaped is supposed to bring good fortune because it symbolizes coming full circle. Hello donuts and bagels! In the American South, eating black eyed peas shows humility and brings good luck. Cornbread represents gold and thus wealth. Bring on some black-eyed peas and cornbread for lunch! Yummy!
I think it will be an auspicious and tasty year!
