Happy New Year!
I've been feeling sorry for this neglected post and decided to wish everyone a Happy New Year here.
New Years celebrations seem to focus on food at our house. We gave up going anywhere to celebrate long ago.
Tomorrow night I'll be making pizza from scratch--haven't done it for a long time.
New Years Day is always the time I make a seafood gumbo that's kind of my own. I cook the turkey carcass from whenever--usually Thanksgiving. Pick the bones, put the meat in the soup, add a big box of chicken broth, add chopped onions and celery and lots of seasonings and a couple of cans of seasoned tomato pieces. When that's ready, I add sliced okra, medium sized shrimp, and enough crab legs for how every many people I expect. I make enough rice for each person to put a scoop into their bowl, then pour the gumbo over it.
This is a very messy soup--because you have to use your hands to pick out the crab legs--but oh, is it good.
My granddaughter will be bringing her husband, three kids, her other grandma, a young man they've taken in until he can go in the Army, my daughter and husband will be here, too. Granddaughter always brings food for those who don't like seafood.
I can hardly wait.
Happy New Year!
