Rare ski ww Posted January 1, 2021 #5 Share Posted January 1, 2021 Happy New Year. I'm not hung over and today we'll have a nice ham for supper. Stay healthy. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare puppycanducruise Posted January 1, 2021 #6 Share Posted January 1, 2021 Happy New Year! Hope it's a good one. No hangovers for us. Our traditional New Year's Eve dinner is take out Chinese food. I don't know why, but we've been doing it for years. I have a small ham I'll cook for dinner tonight with scalloped potatoes and a veg. Unless we decide just to eat the leftovers from last night, and save the ham until tomorrow. Have a great day everyone. Stay safe. 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheKingD Posted January 1, 2021 #7 Share Posted January 1, 2021 Happy New Year! Thanks for being present every day. Let’s all carry on in 2021 as we did through last year, keeping up the goodness. 15 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doobieb Posted January 1, 2021 #8 Share Posted January 1, 2021 Greetings to all! Happy New Year. After months of opening this thread first thing each morning, I want to say how much I enjoy the chats, the sayings, prayers and celebrations. What a fun spirit this thread has! For today’s meal here in the south, it’s greens, black eyed peas (for the good luck and health) , and DH’s mac and cheese. My mom would gasp in shock if we skipped this meal. A prediction of storms and a high of 71 for today seem totally wrong. Healthy wishes to all, Debbie 19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smitty34877 Posted January 1, 2021 #10 Share Posted January 1, 2021 Happy New Year to all. Dinner today will be a repeat of the successful lasagna I made DD and SIL for Thanksgiving. We live side by side in a 2 family house and have been each other's support for this long last year. The wonders of technology will bring us other family members later today. It was a beautiful sunrise over the hills of my city this morning but the weather person promises a "wintry mix" for later. 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare rafinmd Posted January 1, 2021 #11 Share Posted January 1, 2021 Happy New Year, Rich and all the other Dailyites. No hangover for me but I woke for the toilet yesterday morning at 3:30AM and was unable to get back to sleep, and was up until midnight yesterday (lights out 12:02 AM), so today I overslept until after 7. I love the quote and my alternate meal suggestion is Orange and Avacado Carousel and Caribbean Jerk Chicken Breast, as served on MS Ryndam January 1, 2015. Today's care list: Mrs Vmax with radiation looming Caregiver Gsel and her DH battling Alzheimers NextOne DH with Renal Cancer Recovery for Live4Cruises St. Louis Sal’s and Cruising-along’s friends mamaofami’s SIL HAL (and other crews) and Krazy Kruisers and Joe Today's Celebrations and Shoutouts: HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!

wandb Posted January 1, 2021 #12 Share Posted January 1, 2021 Happy New Year to everyone!! A big thank you to those who faithfully post this thread every day. Our traditional meal today will be ham, black-eye peas, rice, baked sweet potatoes, corn bread, and some green vegetable. Thanks to Covid, no big houseful of company. Just the single lady who lives next door. 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cat shepard Posted January 1, 2021 #13 Share Posted January 1, 2021 Happy New Year, Rich & my Sisters and fellow Dailyites! May it bring health, happiness & cruising into each of our lives! Thank you for today’s Daily, Rich! No hangover for me. Hope those days are long gone. Great quote! My traditional New Year meal growing up was my Memere’s Tourtiere - Canadian French pork pie. I have yet to find one as good, and she kept her recipe secret. She would not even share it with her daughter. I know she did not use potatoes in hers, but I still have never been able to replicate it. I have never had any other “traditional” meal on New Years. Looking forward to seeing what everyone shares. I knew if I kept typing, Roy would post - so thank you yet again for keeping our lists, Roy! Prayers for all who need our support. Cheers to all who are celebrating. Farewell 2020! Stay well everyone! ********** This red blend from Bordeaux has superior ratings and an expensive price tag. I found it online for $98.99. Later vintages have excellent ratings & slightly lower prices, but you might need to hold off drinking them for a year or so. But, it is a certified organic wine - a big deal if you are worried about polluted water and grounds. And it is “youthfully tight”!🤔 #2 Wine Spectator Top 100 of 2018 The wines of Château Canon La Gaffelière have been certified organic. They are classy, remarkably well-structured, complex, pure, and always elegant. Blend: 55% Merlot, 38% Cabernet Franc, 7% Cabernet Sauvignon WS96 Wine Spectator: Still youthfully tight and backward, with a well-roasted frame of alder and juniper holding sway for now, but the core of cassis, blackberry and plum fruit waits in reserve, showing prodigious depth. When the toast and fruit melds, the backdrop of tobacco, singed iron and chalky minerality will get a turn to show. There’s a lot here. Built for the cellar. Best from 2025 through 2040. 18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seasick Sailor Posted January 1, 2021 #18 Share Posted January 1, 2021 Good morning and Happy New Year Rich. Thank you for keeping the Daily. You've been a port in a storm for many of us. I noticed yesterdays post the number of viewers going way up and a few times I was on and we got the "Hot Topic" flag. That is just great. And it is always nice to hear from lurkers! (We know you're out there) 🤭 Happy NEW Year to all my Daily-ite friends, my sisters Ann and Denise, and special friends Roy, summer, Jacqui, Father, Gerry.. Prayers for Roy and brother to come to a better relationship. I am still stuffed from dinner last night, and no hangover although I should have one.. Today will be a pot of field peas with snaps, ham hocks, jalapeno corn bread, and as Gerry lovingly states.. "Wine" It was great to hear from you last night Denise. I knew you and David were in Mammoth and you have a deal not to use social media (which is a good thing at times) but we just missed you.. Stimulus checks showed up in our account although we don't know why. I think those of us who don't need it should give something to those who do and we think we will. Love and blessings to our Daily-ites. Toasting (again) tonight for a healthy and happy year. 16 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare kazu Posted January 1, 2021 #23 Share Posted January 1, 2021 Thanks for our New Year’s Day Daily, Rich and our morning smile 🙂 No hangover today and glad to hear most here don’t have one so far. The drink of the day goes well for those that are suffering. Personally, I prefer a good Caesar (with Clamato juice) to a Bloody Mary. It’s a Canadian thing 😉 Love the quote and as always, ever so true. We usually have a ham on New Year’s and I do have a small one but if I can get DH to help me shuck some more oysters, I think a lobster/oyster/seafood chowder is in order. The oysters were delicious last night. We started with a simple presentation with Manchego, Iberico, Camembert cheese & chorizo with them and had some scalloped oysters after. And Prosecco and wine of course 🙂 I rarely stay up until midnight on New Year’s Eve but I did last night. I wanted to make sure I could open the door and kick 2020 out the door and welcome 2021 in. As hard as 2020 was, it certainly taught us all some things: Prayers for everyone on Roy’s Care list & those that need them and a toast to those on the Celebratory / Shout Out list. Have a wonderful New Year’s Day everyone however/whenever you celebrate. Stay safe and please, don’t forget your masks 😷 in 2021. May 2021 bring you all 30 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cat shepard Posted January 1, 2021 #25 Share Posted January 1, 2021 @kazu, you and I have a different definition of “a simple presentation”. Go take a look of my simple pic of my wine glass that I posted to yesterday’s Daily last night. And please do not think the wine glass reflects my idea of simple. It was a gift, and I also shared that picture with the person who gave it to me. I love the pic of your & Jose’s meal. Glad you shared it. Happy New Year! 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
