I really wasn't going to post a recipe today, but I'm flipping through this wonderful cook book Dulcie sent me, The Food, Folklore, and Art of Lowcountry Cooking, and came across something I haven't made in years. It is perfect for a New Year's Eve party. A slice of this is sometimes served with grits and scrambled eggs for breakfast in the lowcountry. I could slap a slice of this on two pieces of bread and be happy any time of day.
This is it for this year my friends, have a safe and Happy New Year!
