    We always do a party with family (both sides) and close friends New Year’s Eve. Always lots of fun. Then we host a huge party for the mummers (Philly thing) on New Year’s Day. Has been at least a dozen or so years now. Needless to say, it’s a bummer this year, especially considering the wife’s side went through a death earlier this month.

    Going to try to make it as nice as possible for the wife with a steak dinner and nice drinks, but not going to be the same and definitely rough for her.

    Here’s to 20 fucking 21 being better

    Going over for a dinner with two friends. They did not want to watch the live stream of the KISS concert. 

    Was suppose to be one more couple, but one of them felt a bit sick so stayed home.

    Staying home, cleaning the house to sweep it clean of all 2020 bad juju, drinking scotch and watching the Japanese New Year Program 9-1:30 (wife is Japanese). New year's day will be traditional Japanese new year's cuisine and champagne.

    What does traditional Japanese New Years cuisine mean?

    I am a very lucky man when it comes to food. Broth and high quality noodles is the answer to your question.  At midnight tonight, if I make it, will be soba with duck.  Kamo nanban.

    I said the same thing the first 8 years we had it, and many years later, my wife knows to make extra shrimp and duck. One of my favorites are boiled chestnuts in chestnut jelly. It's the one under plastic on the lower left. There are dried sardines and squid, fishcakes, tobiko, smelt and herring roe, and a bunch of other foods that are very Japanese such as gobo (burdock root), pickled lotus root and fresh bamboo shoots. Perhaps I will post in the food thread tomorrow.
