This New Year's Eve, it's okay to indulge. It's okay to put on your sparkliest party dress, gather round some buddies, and maybe hit the rum punch a bit too hard. December 31st happens but once a year, and you've got to make sure 2013 goes out with a bang -- and maybe a karaoke rendition of "Build Me Up Buttercup" to boot.
We're betting January 1st, you might be feeling the pain. So save your resolutions for January 2nd -- the first day of 2014 is reserved for savory, absorbative, healing dishes sure to ease you into the new year. Because salt, fat, and carbohydrates have miraculous healing powers, and you've got 364 more days to start being healthy this year.
