In Japan, New Year’s Day is a chance to reflect on the past year and bring in the new with a delicious bowl of noodles. “Toshikoshi” means to jump from one year to the next. Buckwheat noodles are believed to bring longevity and prosperity. Toshikoshi Soba is made with buckwheat soba noodles and served with a light broth or dipping sauce, plus toppings.

Grapes

We’re grapeful for grapes! In many Spanish-speaking countries, it’s tradition to eat a dozen of them at the stroke of midnight (12 AM = 12 grapes). Legend has it that the grapes bring good luck, wealth, and ward off evil! Stick with seedless varieties for easy noshing.

Black-Eyed Peas, Leafy Greens, Cornbread

Pork

Historically, pork was reserved for the elite, but its accessibility now affords everyone a chance to be in “hog heaven.” German legend includes pork on New Year’s based on the idea that pigs root forward for their food, while chickens and turkeys scratch backwards.

What does zombies hate?

Zombies hate clowns. They also hate hippies, not to mention zip-lines, penguins, moon penguins, nudists, weddings, sharing, and kittens.

amazon.com - Zombies Hate Stuff: Stones, Greg: 9781452107400 - Amazon.com

You won't find that zombies love brains in this book. But that's what my 5 year old son thinks should be in this book. He loves this book and has read it about 5 times so far! (we just got the book last night) and he tells me every time that the zombies should love braaaaains! This fun picture book is enjoyable for the whole family. The simple, yet colorful pictures are what make this book. You will find out what zombies, hate, don't mind, really hate, and love! (I'll give you a hint: It's not brains!) It's just a quirky, fun book. There is one picture that may be objectionable to some (a vampire is flipping the bird and some other monsters are mooning the zombie) but, other than that, this book is fun and is one of the most unique entries into the zombie craze that seems to have taken over my house (and the rest of the country)
