Recipe for a New Year
Reblogged from The Vampire Diet:
My grandparents always had saurkraut and kilbasa on New Years day for luck.
Rather than let us kids think of something as lucky (anything not "God" or in any way outside of her religion, even the idea of 'luck', was unthinkable to dear old mom) the story was that they made sourkrout and kilbasa not for luck or from any older tradition - but because it was what Grandmother and Grandad had their first New Year's Day together, after being married in 1930s Appalachia where they were just happy to have the meat.
