Happy New Year

Happy New Year!

Cabbage is one of the buzz words on the internet these days. Traditionally, in Southern States, cabbage (or collard greens) and black eyed peas, are considered a good luck meal for the New Year. I guess its because the green veges represent green dollar bills and the peas are conidered good luck.

Our friend from Louisiana is still visiting, so we were treated to one of her Southern Meals. She made us cabbage with left over ham, and black eyed peas also with the left over ham. She also made us some Southern Style Cornbread to accompany our meal. Great way to start the new year with home style comfort foods, a great way to make good use of left overs and actually a fairly budget concious meal; cabbage, left over ham, peas and some spices.

Who Knows, mabey in an odd way, meals can be kind of representative of our upcoming hopes and plans. The year 2009 has certainly taught us to be more conservative with our resources, representated by the use of left over ham and low priced ingredients; but yet we still hope for the comforts of home, which this meal certainly provided. Of course, we certainly hope for the dollar bills to come in, at least enough to provide for all the financial needs.

The year 2009, has certainly been a difficult one in terms of the financial well being of this country and many households. But on the other hand, many have found a way to turn the down side into blessings, either by finding new jobs, and/or by considering the deeper meanings of life and becoming more spiritual. Hopefully the year 2010 will bring a better blend of both, better appreciation and conservation of what we do have and continued consideration of the spiritual well being of all. Happy New Year to all and may there be lots of good home style meals.

Beautiful Christmas

Christmas is a truly special time. This year I was fortunate to spend my Christmas with family, friends, fond memories and reflections on the "Kingdom of Christ"; our Lord and Savior. King of Kings, who was born in the poor town of Bethlehem.

This is the Manger Scene from the Blessed Sacrament Church in Sacramento, CA. I stopped there to visit on Christmas Day. I felt like one of the shepherds, coming to visit the "Christ Child".

Cajun Cuisine
