Happy New Years!

I know it’s no ‘s’. Long-time habit.

I stayed in the night before and brought in the new year on the phone, then went into prayer. I’m already living as a minimalist with my bed, bath and beyond lifestyle but it’s nothing like a fresh feel, incense and a Pretty Thoughts candle, so I got my space together- cleaned, scrubbed, and organized.

My favorite snack of the holiday is an icebox pie. It’s a crusted bottom layered with chocolate pudding, whipped cream mix and peanuts/pecans on top. It’s light, eaten cold and is a tasty ending after heavy holiday meals. It was good fun spending time w/ loved ones for the holiday. My stomach brought in 2024 with a bowl of chitlins with 2 pieces of potatoes, hog maws, collard greens, a corner piece of sweet cornbread, and a black-eyed pea. My brother & sister only eat them fried, so my mama tosses the leftover chitlins in batter and fries ‘em for a few minutes. They are a crispy core, chewy texture, and another way to keep any chitlins from going to waste. Dip in ketchup like a French fry and enjoy the crunch!

Cheers to a 2024..!
