Southern New Year's tradition.

Pepperoni bread, pepperoni rolls, and pizza rolls all look like a takeoff on a pepperoni and cheese stromboli. The wife doesn’t like pepperoni so I do a ham and cheese stromboli.

Idaho Smokey I love strombolis!

Boy, this conversation went around the bend a couple of times. By the way my Grandfather lived in a little community called Clear Springs, MO. He was a jack of all trades and had a store and black smith shop. He also ran a still and made moonshine. Here in my little corner of Idaho New Year’s day was cold -4 degrees for the low and 19 for the high. The patio had about 1 1/2" of ice on it. Getting to the smokers was done to the tune of “Slip Sliding Away”. I didn’t spend much time outside when I put the ham on. I had planned on glazing it toward the end but blew that off. The oven was full of “Funeral potatoes”, ginger carrots, and cornbread. The blackeyed peas and spinach were on the stove top. We live right in the middle of the fruit orchard area and make lots of jam. I had planned on glazing the ham with a peach, jalapeno, and tequila jam (yes it was great on the corn bread). NO rice, I am sort of over that fertility stuff at 70 years old (besides the wife would kill me). I don’t know if this meal will bring luck in the future but it sure has brought the luck of good friends and family gathering around the dinner table over the years.

Idaho Smokey it was definitely an interesting post. I should be good this year. I had my greens on New Years eve for dinner, but made sure I kept a little for lunch on the first just in case. This picture was our New Years day dinner at my sister and brother-in-law’s house.
This was my plate with roasted pork, sausage, kraut, mashed potatoes and Black Eyed Pea salad.

I know I certainly gained weight, but a years worth of good luck and good fortune is yet to be seen. It was interesting looking at everyone’s traditions. Many are similar or the same, just some small twists along the way. -

We always use them when we make beans and cheesy potatoes.

We use them for roasters and crock pots, they make life way easier!

kyle ok that sounds wierd, but I’m willing to try it for sure, so you are saying a used one works as well as a new one?

mrobisr yep. Used ones are all we use. The wife has a book with all these little tips and tricks. Been doing it for over 10 years now. It does not hurt the pan at all
kyle can’t wait to try, thank you.

bocephus That was my sister-in-laws. I have the same roaster, but did not know there were liners for them. I use liners in my crock pot.
-
kyle that’s a pretty good hack. I’ll have to try that

if you ever have a pan that has baked on food, put a dryer sheet and water in it and let it soak an hour or so
officially mind-blown

Clear Spring
Not real close to Clear Springs but my family had a little cabin on the river near Doniphan, Mo we used to go to sometimes in the summer. Gorgeous country down there.

kyle Going to have to give that a try.
-
bocephus honestly, it is unbelievable how well it works. For really stuck on food, you might have to let it sit more than an hour, but it works.
kyle Thanks for the tip, that is amazing!
