Happy New Year, my dear feral reader!
2011's celebratory cabbage pie
May it bring you, your loved ones and your garden (if applicable) many happy, healthy, and delicious things.
My 2012 began in Colorado and is about to continue in California (i.e. I’m writing this at Aspen airport). It’s been happy, super fun, and, miraculously, hangover-free. Here’s a glimpse of our NYE dinner — because I know that’s all that you really would like to know about and all that my better judgment permits me to share.
The menu was a collective effort and included a salad, brussels sprouts, pilaf, salmon-fennel pie, and a 7-pound roasted leg of lamb.
I’m particularly proud of our black caviar station complete with miniature potato latkes, crème fraiche and, of course, vodka shots. It was a masterpiece and I insist that it becomes a fixture of any New Year’s celebration. Unfortunately, I failed to take any photos of it because I was too busy making said mini potato pancakes (gotta have them hot!) and taking said shots.
I still haven’t done my 2012 resolutions list but will let you when and if I come up with one… In the meantime, happy new year once more and keep on reading and growing!
thanks, darling! i have passed your best wishes to our garden since this was indeed applicable.
I was happy to see sorrel and arugula doing so well. I tasted both. Exceptionally sour and spicy, respectively! But the mole in the beet bed is really out of control.
