New Year's Food

 We usually have a big New Year's Day party every year but not this year, of course. So, once again, I made food to go.  I fed my kids and a bunch of neighbors. One of my friends is Slovakian and rarely gets the food of our people so I fed him too.  Everyone's food was neatly packed and dropped off on their porches.  I brined and roasted a pork loin.

I made bread dumplings, lots of bread dumplings.

And rich brown gravy.

Bread dumplings and brown gravy are a little bit of heaven.

Kielbasa and sauerkraut is always a part of my New Year's Day menu.

And halushki. I sometimes wonder how much halushki I've made in my life.

Everyone got a loaf of homemade rye bread to eat along with the meal.

Brownies....

And chocolate chip cookie bars were their desserts.
