New Year’s Eve 2025 🥳

Take out, TV, doom scrolling and probably in bed by 10:30-ish :blush:

There are lots of variations. I make it like Mum made it. Just thinly sliced onion and cucumber in malt vinegar. Any recipe you see that uses a vinegar different from malt is not traditional (it dates far enough back to be before wine vinegars were really known in the UK. We lived with my father’s parents till I was about 8 and I’m sure Mum will have made it as they liked it.

The same as we do every year–watching the SF fireworks on TV while listening to the fireworks (and mortar shells) 1 block away, then cooking the Rancho Gordo Super Lucky Black-Eyed Peas on New Year’s Day.

Ohhhh, the :::THUMP!..BOOM!::: with those mortar shells going off only a block away must be felt in your entire body!

Oh yeah, and they rattle the house too.
