In the Baltimore area, the standard new year's tradition is the massive consumption of alcohol and vomiting.

No Leah-Ann, I've never heard of Chow-Chow! What does it consist of?

I love chow chow, its a salsa, dont remember what it has in it.

When I first looked up Chow Chow it seemed as though it may have been a recipe for ground up Dog,which piqued my interest, but upon closer inspection, its a salsa like mixture with several differing recipes posted, most consisting of tomato and corn, plus other assorted components.

My New Years Eve tradition is to eat (or hide) everything that looks good in the house in case Mrs Pugs resolution is to put me on another diet.

lol!!! Ah, that Mrs. Pug is one tenacious gal -- I'm sure you have to work hard to get one past her.

You are correct sir! Mrs Pug is definitely hard work

Do you know a Mrs that isn't?

Good one!

Yummy black eyed peas! Happy NY!
