She's from Louisiana so that's what she's eaten all her life.<br /><br />I don't have any traditions from childhood. Since we've lived in Boston, we've gone to First Night in Boston and then eaten Thai food for dinner. That's 8 out of the last 9 years. No food traditions though.<br /><br />Happy 2011.Theresa Milsteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03477761307315565259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7164206822403278866.post-14151339464189082532011-01-02T19:38:25.624-05:002011-01-02T19:38:25.624-05:00Our New Year's tradition involves a gathering ...Our New Year's tradition involves a gathering of three families and gifts of radishes, bananas, salt and hot pepper.

Our Dads had gone to High School together. My mom always made oven-baked clam dip from scratch. My best friend and I would write down the count-down in our journals as it was happening, and then we'd all run out and bang on pots and pans. <br /><br />Unfortunately this did not continue when we all grew up.Christine Tylerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08711726941768571495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7164206822403278866.post-29961614870163861372011-01-02T18:31:46.678-05:002011-01-02T18:31:46.678-05:00My family doesn't have any New Years tradition...My family doesn't have any New Years traditions...this year, I spent it at home watching old British TV shows with my parents and sister.
