Paula's menu sounds like what I always have. Have had it most of my 73 years and continue to do, as do my daughters. Only difference is that I'm not crazy about collards and substitute turnips. Still yummmm.

My mother and father always said to have pork and saurkraut for News Years dinner for a good year. It seems it always worked for them. So I have been doing it for 43years now. My children do the same.
