@ehBeth,
Hasn't happened yet, but I got my traditional southwest New Year meal in the oven and should be ready to eat in couple hours - roast pork shoulder simmering in a thick gravy, sweet potato casserole, pork based dressing, asparagus w/philly cream chesse and chive topping, rolls, garnishes of all kinds pickles, olives, celery, salad (potato, macaroni, lettuce, jello), 2 kinds cranberry sauce, 3 kinds of pie, and of course - apple sauce and black eyed peas. Enough to feed 10 with lots of leftovers! Now, what did I forget?
