Still trying to figure out what I'm making to go with the greens and black eyed peas. So I'm fishing for inspiration.

Pork chops?

New Years is Puerto Rican cooking. Wife did 3 kinds of rice, flan, bread pudding, yuca with mojo, pasta lijos, pasteles, and Puerto Rican eggnog and I am doing 2 picnic shoulders in the xl tomorrow.

That sounds really good @lit

@doubleegger - chops are a strong possibility. Can't go wrong there.

It's called coquito. There are a lot of recipes online I will get the one she used if you want it. Its really good kinda reminds me of egg nog that tastes like bread pudding and rum.

Please post it that recipe if it's not a guarded secret.

New Year's Eve is always take out Chinese. 3 or 4 Mai Tai's while waiting for the take out and I'm good. 

Lit

This is the recipe she used. She said she added extra rum. It's way better than any egg nog I have had before. http://elboricua.com

Pork and sauerkraut. For the pork I just put a SRF Kurobuta loin roast in the fridge from the freezer last night. I haven't decided exactly how I'm going to prepare it yet.

That looks great. I'll have to try it. But I think I gained 3lbs and my blood sugar went up 400 points just reading that recipe. Thanks for posting it.

Thanks @lit    I just showed my wife the recipe and she seemed to like the sounds of it.

Yes and the one with little sausages in it also.

Puerto Rican food sounds fun, hope it turns out awesome!

We're bringing out and old favorite that has been severely neglected over the last few months. Pepper Stout Beef tonight! Only bummer is the very spice sensitive crowd of native Sconnies, so I'm omitting all the hot peppers and just using bells.

I am grilling some shishito peppers for the first time, so that should be fun. I'll probably throw on a Serrano or two for those that want to spice up their sandwiches.

Cheers all, have a great New Year's -

Gumbo.  Not a BGE cook, but nice lazy, cold weather day meal.
