Happy New Year everyone!
Did anyone do anything particularly fun for New Year's Eve? Ann and I didn't go out, but we did make a delicious dinner. Salad with seared shrimp, filet mignon au poivre with a tarragon red wine sauce, braised leeks and roasted garlic mashed potatoes. All this accompanied by an excellent 1999 Pinot Noir from Erath vineyards that we bought in Oregon. To top it all off, we had chocolate fondue for dessert. Maybe not as fun as a Phish show on NYE, but pretty good when you have a one year old and no babysitter.

We had a great night too. We hosted a potluck that about 50 people came to (a little too many for my cozy house to hold). The best part was that people went all out on their potluck contributions - roast leg of lamb, homemade pickled vegetables, corn soufle, etc. We friend a turkey in the front yard which was delicious. The great finale was a chocolate fountain that I borrowed from a friend. Pretzels and bananas are the best for dipping. Plus, I was in bed by midnight. I love it!
