Happy New Year!

 I apologize for my absence over the past few weeks but I have been super busy. I hope everyone's hangovers have subsided by now! I guess the Mayans were wrong, although I didn't follow the hoopla closely but all in all NYE was pretty fun this year. My friend Leslie had a very small party at her house and we ended up playing the Michael Jackson Wii game into the early hours. I made champagne cocktails and she served a few hors d'oeuvre for everyone. I must admit that there is nothing appealing about going out on NYE, especially to have a nice dinner. I used to loathe working in the restaurant biz during the Holidays because it is all about quantity not quality. From the moment you arrive, everything that can be done to make sure you are in and out quickly will be done and it leaves you feeling like a number. I was so happy when Leslie told me she was thinking about having a little party because it was exactly how I wanted to ring in the new year. 

Les and I.
