This is a great showpiece for a party. My children and grandchildren ask for it and everyone else raves about it.
And there are virtually no carbs (except for the crackers you eat it with).

This dish combines the traditional New Year good luck and good fortune foods of cabbage, rice, and hog meat. Cooked into a ring representing full circle, also for good luck, this meal will be a favorite any time of the year.Submitted by CINDERRELIC

High-test, perfectly sweet espresso "brownies" (no chocolate, but they are brown!) perfect for those parties that run into the wee morning hours! I cut these into petit-four sized pieces and decorate them with little rosettes of vanilla icing and chocolate-covered espresso beans for parties. If it's just for home noshing, though, feel free to cut them as big as you like! Submitted by JO_JO_BA
