Question of the Day, Sunday, the 27 of December, 2020

[Mia6]

Hello and Happy Sunday, the last Sunday of 2020!

What are you having for New Year's Eve and Day?

Daniel is making is making his filet chops, already French-boned for Eve and roast pork for Day

What are you having?

 

[Maria Bayote]

The same as the past 16 years spending New Year abroad - we will just dine at a quite fancy resto and go back to our apartment. Maybe we will invite some of our friends who are available.

Not much of a meat person, but I would probably have some steak.

 

[verna davies]

Nothing special, I am not a lover of this time of year so tend to treat Christmas and New Year like any other day.

 

[NY cat man]

We don't do anything special for New Year's eve or day. I can't remember the last time we went out, or even stayed up to watch the ball drop. To us, it's just another day, only with a new calendar.

 

[di and bob]

I agree with the above, as we age the New Year is just that, the beginning of a new Year! this year has been especially hard with all this covid crap so we might have a small prime rib with baked potato. My husband cooks up a spectacular one!

 

[Jem]

I have no idea. New Years isn't something we really celebrate, and I haven't figured out the meals for the week yet.

 

[gilmargl]

We don't do or eat anything special - except keep an eye on the cats and their reactions to the fireworks. Fortunately, these are not being sold this year and I hope that no-one in the neighborhood has managed to acquire any. So, hopefully, things will be nice and peaceful - in which case, if I'm not already in bed, I may just drink a small glass of German sparkling wine and hope that the New Year is a good deal better than the old!

 

[denice]

I don't do anything special for New Years. I don't cook a special meal because by New Years I am tired of the heavy meals and all the sweets. I am definitely ready for this year to be over.

 

[rubysmama]

I never do anything special for New Year's Eve, so this year will be no different. But we usually have a small family brunch on Jan 1, which probably won't be happening, so New Year's Day will be just like any other.

I will probably take down the few Christmas decorations I put up one of those 2 days, that is if I don't get to it sooner. Just not enjoying them this year.

 

[posiepurrs]

In keeping with my southern upbringing we will be having Hopping John (black eyed peas and rice). I suppose I will make the small ham I got for Christmas dinner and also the greens I have frozen. Eating Hopping John on New Years is supposed to bring good fortune and luck - although it was a dud this year!

 

[maggiedemi]

Nothing special, just whatever we decide to have for dinner, just another day. I used to go out for New Years in my 20s, but now I like to be in bed by 10pm.

 

[Winchester]

We always watch movies on New Year's Eve, haven't gone out in years. Last year, we watched in the she shed and will probably do so again this year. On New Year's Eve, I'm making the Big Sandwich, chilled shrimp, and baked brie with crackers and veggies. We'll munch while watching tv. We always kiss at midnight and we'll probably stay up until around 2:00 or so.

On New Year's Day, it's always pork and sauerkraut over mashed potatoes. Always. The last of the cranberry relish and some Christmas cookies. Rick will have cheesecake, if there's any left by then....and I seriously doubt it. That's it.

 

[neely]

In years past we've always watched The Twilight Zone and this year will be no different. I have my favorite episodes and looked up the schedule. Wouldn't you know it, one of my favorites is on in the wee hours of the morning. I hope I can watch it On-Demand.

 

[Talien]

Whatever I pull out of the fridge or freezer, just another day to me.

 

[Lari]

No idea! If I'm lucky, hospital food, lol.

 

[sivyaleah]

We're not into celebrating big for New Year's Eve. Been there, done that.
The last few years, we took in food from one of our local fancy restaurants. Unfortunately, all 3 of our favs have had to shut down due to the pandemic and no way would I eat inside any restaurant yet.
So, not sure what I'm cooking yet. Not even sure if I'll have much time to plan it out anyway since I'm working non-stop right now (December is my busiest month because of year end financial close-outs). Honestly at this point I'd be fine with ordering via Door Dash with whomever is delivering LOL.
Probably will watch a movie and crash well before the New Year even hits. Same as last year and the year before, etc.

Me too. I used to go out and party in my 20's but now I just fall asleep watching TV. I also don't eat anything special.

 

[susanm9006]

It’s a non holiday for me so whatever I am in the mood for that night.

no deviled eggs?

I grew up watching the Twilight Zone. What is your favorite episode? Mine is "The Invaders" with Agnes Moorehead.
