Happy New Year!

 

 

For many, January 1 offers an opportunity to forget the past and make a clean start. But instead of leaving everything up to fate, why not enjoy a meal to increase your good fortune? There are a variety of foods that are believed to be lucky and to improve the odds that next year will be a great one. Traditions vary from culture to culture, but there are striking similarities in what's consumed in different pockets of the world: The six major categories of auspicious foods are grapes, greens, fish, pork, legumes, and cakes. Whether you want to create a full menu of lucky foods or just supplement your meal, we have an assortment of recipes, guaranteed to make for a happy new year, or at the very least a happy belly.

 

Pork

 

The custom of eating pork on New Year's is based on the idea that pigs symbolize progress. The animal pushes forward, rooting itself in the ground before moving. Roast suckling pig is served for New Year's in Cuba, Spain, Portugal, Hungary, and Austria—Austrians are also known to decorate the table with miniature pigs made of marzipan. Different pork dishes such as pig's feet are enjoyed in Sweden while Germans feast on roast pork and sausages. Pork is also consumed in Italy and the United States, where thanks to its rich fat content, it signifies wealth and prosperity.

 

The Cache is not at the posted coordinates.

 

Here's a quick puzzle to solve for the new year.  May this one bring you good luck and fortune!

150th cache found. Decided to take this trail this morning as it was chilly and knew there would be less folks on the path. Lucy (my four-legged member of the team) came with me in search of our 150th cache. Glad no one was around as I probably did look like a monkey checking possible hiding spots. :) TFTC!

That was a tough puzzle. We needed the CO's help for this one. We found a good spot to park and walked to GZ. An old wasp nest was close to the container, glad they moved out. Thanks for showing us this trail. Nice views.

Looking for some trackables this morning with one of the dogs. I solved this puzzle on 9/4/17 and finally was nearby to find it, ha! I misinterpreted a previous log and almost went for the wrong thing, but I realized my mistake in time. Phew. Thanks for the cache!

I took quite the interesting route to walk to this cache. Looked around a bit and thought I saw it, but wanted to confirm that what I saw wasn't really a wasp nest before I reached for it. A TOTT took care of that and I soon had the cache in hand. Thanks for hiding this cache.

I came up to Colorado Springs today to get the radio replaced in my truck. Afterwards I decided I needed to hunt for some Hidden Creatures. I needed 13 more for the Dragon Souvenir. With only one day left the World Turtle Souvenir is probably out of reach. I parked at the nearby church and squeezed through a gap in the fence. I posted a DNF on this cache some time ago. Today I found it quickly using a TOTT that I ALWAYS have in my pocket. Doh! I can't believe I missed this before. Thanks for a fun puzzle (fun being one I can actually solve) and a cool location. Now if you'll excuse me I hear a double bacon cheeseburger calling my name.

I've had this one in my solved stack for a while now. There weren't many people out on this cold day so I had GZ to myself. Fortunately I didn't have to look for long. TFTC
