New Year's Day Menu

     When I was little my family always had a New Year's Day Party with a formal dinner to celebrate.  I remember waking up and seeing the Rose Bowl parade on TV while preparation for the big dinner began.  I always helped set the table and watched my grandfather cut the roast.  We were happy if a plum pudding and/or fruitcake were saved for this last big holiday dinner.

     Now I carry on the family tradition to have a nice New Year's Day Dinner.  Here is this year's menu and tips.

     It is always good to write down notes about where your favorite recipes are, so that when the next holiday or party comes around you don't have to remember what book it is hiding in.  You may try out a new recipe and think you will remember where it is for the future, but as my cookbook collection grows, I discovered that I often have to go searching for it the next year.  It is especially helpful if you are anything like me and collect a few cookbooks (I own about a hundred).  Also I like to look at the line up from prior years menus.
