I asked neighbors and our Scottish friend said they do that! No trouble eating cabbage in our family, but I might try that next year in the brussel sprouts.Linda Farmer Harrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08312511857601369355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4271375082145370896.post-90028915080949034282017-01-20T20:40:00.900-05:002017-01-20T20:40:00.900-05:00Hi Vickie, love fried potatoes with onions.

We live at 6,089 ft. so I've had an adventure learning to cook and bake. Corn bread was first on my list followed by pop-overs. Finally mastered the baking using flour with 4 grams of protein. Didn't know that mattered until we moved from Texas to Colorado. Have a great new year.

I wanted to try them, but they're very spicy so I dipped some peas out to try it. Yum. After folks tried it, I almost didn't get a serving for myself. Hope you new year is marvelous.Linda Farmer Harrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08312511857601369355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4271375082145370896.post-58484825739528873952017-01-20T20:07:24.744-05:002017-01-20T20:07:24.744-05:00Hi Melanie, we added cabbage this year with ham fr...Hi Melanie, we added cabbage this year with ham from the hog we had butchered. We don't raise hogs, but a neighbor does so we purchased one. Talk about a taste difference! Well, we're keeping cabbage/ham as part of our new year's fare.Linda Farmer Harrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08312511857601369355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4271375082145370896.post-52345753509409995412016-12-31T12:41:28.963-05:002016-12-31T12:41:28.963-05:00Cabbage - a big pot of it.

It worked in getting us kids to eat cabbage, we all wanted the dime. I love it now, and my husband always cooks a big pot.Janet,https://www.blogger.com/profile/17796999156668844943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4271375082145370896.post-66455190739145521532016-12-27T11:19:13.887-05:002016-12-27T11:19:13.887-05:00Lin, We almost always have black-eyed peas with ha...Lin, We almost always have black-eyed peas with ham for New Year's Day dinner.

My mother-in-law also included spinach greens, that supposedly meant getting money during the year. A fun tradition.
