Happy New Year everyone! Today I’ll be enjoying a family tradition – we have mashed potatoes and sauerkraut on New Year’s Day. It’s been said that, “You’ll never be broke if you have sauerkraut to eat on New Year’s Day.” Well, I don’t put a lot of stock in superstitions, but I do like sauerkraut and ‘taters, so bring it on! Most of the time we have pork with the sauerkraut. And I’m leading up to a commercial here, so bear with me.

A week or so ago, I wrote about my older brother, in the pleasures of never quitting. The article was dated December 24, 2009, if you want to take a look. But today I want to mention my nephew, brother George’s oldest boy – Wayne. Wayne prepares some of the best tasting pork you’d ever want to eat. Actually, he operates a terrific meat processing shop, in Cadott, Wisconsin. You can visit him on the internet at www.crescentqualitymeats.com. If you check him out and decide to order something, let him know you were referred from PleasuresForEvermore. Who knows? Your New Year could be a lot tastier after today.

Come on back tomorrow and see what’s on the menu.
