Pork n kraut

[nicklz]

Anyone doing that for New Year's Day? It's a traditional thing for luck. Ours is Pennsylvania Dutch (Deutch) tradition. I've got a nice pork loin, carrots, onions, sauerkraut, and I think I'll make some homemade crescent rolls tomorrow for it. Mom's going to make some fruited red jello. She and I are sick of eating candy and cookies!

So what are you doing for New Years cooking-wise?

I've heard of that... I think it's the germans that do that since a friend of mine makes his own sourkraut then he fries it with side bacon or something... he was tellingme that he prefers his sourkraut cooked till it is very dry... I tried it its pretty good but i think I like it raw better.

Do you have any new years resolutions?

Does "to cook as little as possible this year" count?

My mom was saying that my grandma used to fry up the kraut with a few strips of bacon and some diced apples or she'd drain it and add a little sugar. We don't quite get why she did that, but maybe my grandpa liked it that way. The bacon recipe was her second husband's favorite. Grandpa was German and the second husband was German/English.
