Your ozoni soup looks so good. This is the first I heard of it. They eat pork and sauerkraut (pickled cabbage) here in Pennsylvania, U.S.A. for good luck on New Year's day. I don't know how that started, but I would much rather eat ozoni soup! I feel like a good soup is the best food there is. It's filling, and often has healing properties to it. I had a good lentil soup today and it was perfect for a windy, chilly, rainy day. I hope this year will bring lots of blessings and good fortune to you. :) I think your good luck for the New Year so far is that you made it up those steep stairs without passing out! Good for you!!!!!
