MckLinky Monday - Celebrating the New Year

For today's MckLinky Monday on the RHOK Miss Priss wants to know - How do you celebrate/ring in the New Year? ... Well, I also say leave it to the crazies to go out and par-tay -I also pretty much hang out at home and try to stay awake until midnight -Sometimes I actually make it ;) I can't say that we have a mini party -the kids are usually asleep -So, me and the hubby try to stay awake -This time I did! I flipped channels and watched a little of the different celebrations going on -I got Jiggy or rather Giggy with it and watched Bravo's wig drop, NBC's /Tulsa's Ball Drop, Fox's celebration, and a little bit of Dick Clark's Rockin' New Years eve celebration on ABC (my ABC comes in fuzzy -but, I did see NKOTB!) I also passed some time by reflecting back on 2010 and watching different things - like this:

We don't have anything too specfic we do New Years day - This year my mom wanted all of us gals (me, my daughter, sister, grandma, and my mom of course) -to go see the Bodies exhibit -No photography allowed so, no pics to share (Which might be good if you'd rather not see that kind of thing -like my husband he didn't so, he stayed home with my son) -It was pretty interesting though. One thing we do for sure on New Years is eat some "luck foods" like Black eyed peas - I was looking for a good/easy recipe when I found 1 for Black Eyed Pea Casserole -so, I made that for dinner:

It was yummy -And easy to make! Just cooked the rice and hamburger meat- then put them in a casserole dish with canned black eyed peas and Rotel; after it cooked for awhile I topped it with cheese and put it back in the oven for a few minutes (about 30 minutes total cook time) And Voila! And that's how I rang in the New Year - 1-1-11 ! Be sure to join in the MckLinky Monday and tell us what all you did -And a Happy New Year to you !!
