New Years 2015
We stayed up past midnight for the first time in a long time. A family gathering at Mike and Amanda's and everyone showed up. It was surprisingly a calm and really great time...surprising because the usual family drama was absent. We had a really great time. We had Mikey's smoked pork, Ina's potato au gratin cooked by Scott & I, and Eaton Beans cooked by me. It was a fantastic meal! Today we are making Lobster Risotto and stuffed mushrooms . Baylor is playing in a bowl game and the Lobster Stock is on the stove. It's rainy and cold outside and I'm glad we are all snugged in at home. We just returned a few days ago from a week in California with family for Christmas...a great time with lots of great food too. We went to Tahoe for a few days too...spectacular sights and a spectacular burger at Lucky Beaver's and bacon waffle at Red Hut. the view of mountains from my home town...acros...
