cooking my way into '09...
Happy New Year to everybody!
I rather enjoyed our low-key celebration in Asheville :) Ate some of the best trout I've ever had and someone made me spill my champagne on my partner at midnight. Fabulous!
Today, I made dinner for Wayner and myself. Bubba mentioned that we should eat fish, while I had heard that hoppin' john (which is made with black-eyed peas) is supposed to be eaten on New Year's Day for good luck the rest of the year. Upon further reading, I found that other lucky foods include pomegranate and lentils. Interesting!
So this was my meal that I made us for tonight, which was very Weight Watcher's friendly:
garlicky black-eyed peas 'n' mustard greens
baked sweet potato salad
almost fat-free cornbread
All these recipes were taken from an awesome cookbook of Wayne's, called Moosewood Restaurant Low-Fat Favorites. Well worth a read.
What lucky food did you eat today?
