I'm having a smalll dinner party for my cycling friends. We'll have some hors d'oeurves - Spanokopita and something else tbd. We'll dine on standing rib roast w/ herb crust, Yorkshire pudding, roasted carrots, potatoes & onions. Dessert is Tiramisu and Christmas cookies. Lots of wine and champagne. Everybody will be walking home. Tomorrow we'll all go watch the Polar Bear swim.... ocean temps are about 40oF and all the bays and canals are frozen. Air temp will be in the 40s as well, maybe warmer in the sun.
Happy New Year!
Martha

Our usual MO is to watch an old classic movie and make a gourmet meal and stay off the roads. This year we were actually going to a party involving lots of food and wine and folk/bluegrass music played by the hosts and their band but alas, our weather - sleet, freezing rain, snow... forced a postponment until next Sat. Soooo, we are staying in, watching an old classic and making homemade pizza.

DH and I are going to a cycling buddy's house for a little while and then coming back to our neighborhood to finish the night out at a friend's house that is within walking distance! Don't know if we will make it to midnight or not. We are pretty wimpy about staying up late these days.

I had planned to head to church tonight, but then my voice dropped at least an octave, started coughing...so I am at home tonight watching Wild, Wild West. Getting ready to start a fire and open a beer - if I can stay up until midnight great, if not, then that is good as well.
Tomorrow is supposed to be 25 degrees colder than today, it couldn't last. Will head to the club tomorrow morning if I am feeling a little better for some exercise/endorphins, and tomorrow afternoon will go hiking with a friend. Not a bad way to ring in a new year!

I'm sitting in the bath tub with my motorcycle helmet on from 12 midnight thru 12:30 am. This town is not safe on New Years.
