Why does pork and sauerkraut always go wrong??

Every year, we have pork and sauerkraut for the new year. It's the wife's family tradition, and I like food, so I'm cool.

But every year, something goes wrong. Something as small as having the wrong cut off pork to something huge like the brand new, purchased 3 days ago pork roast being spoiled in the bag it came in.

The husband and wife are returning the rotten roast now, and we have to change plans to accommodate a new cut of pork. For being a lucky meal, it sure comes with a bunch of bad luck.
