New Years 2010

As tradition goes, we went to our usual friend's house for New Years to celebrate. It was a great evening with great food, great company, and even more Kids than usual. Our count was 12 children.

We have been doing this the past 6 years now, so everything is down to a science. The children ate first, and while the food was still being prepared/warmed, we went outside and lighted some fireworks. The bad part was that the weather was extremely cold so lighting the fireworks was a task, since our fingers froze.

Finally the adults got to eat, and what a fest it was! Lobster bisque/soup with homemade raisen bread and parmasan. Then we had beef fillet with mashed potatoes with an artichoke sauce and veggies. For desert we had chocolate ganache??? I forget what it is called. But it was good. =)

Anyways, it was a great party, and the perfect way to start the new year.
Hope everyone had a great one too!
