Our Happy New Year Tradition!

We are all hoping for a much different 2021! Looking forward to the end of the virus and the world getting back to a new normal.

Our celebration will be simple--tamales for dinner, and rootbeer floats. Rootbeer floats have been our tradition way back when the kids were little--many years ago. This time we'll be enjoying them with the great grands.

Tomorrow is the big day for my traditional seafood gumbo. My recipe that I adapted from a neighbor, crablegs and shrimp are the stars in this dish. Starts from a turkey carcass boiled down and the addition of chicken broth, onions, canned  tomato bits, sliced okra, several dashes of Tabasco sauce, plus at the last minute, the addition of the crab legs and shrimp into the boiling liquid. Served over rice. It is delicious and sloppy to eat. We have lots of utensil to crack the crab and pick out every bit of the meat.

It's so easy to make and turns out so delicious.

Afterwards, we'll play Estimation, a game for all ages. Fun and a bit on the wild side. The more people the better.
