Happy New Year!

Yes, yes. I know. I didn't blog yesterday. I've got a cold and felt really icky last night. Anyway, Randy and I engaged in our traditional New Year's Eve dinner. We buy a whole bunch of finger foods and just snack. Last night we held our picnic in front of the new big screen TV.

Let's see what I can remember of the spread. Proscuitto and mozarella roll. Salami. Sesame and honey cashews. Chocolate-covered espresso beans (on which the entire picnic is based). Bread. Fruitcake. Humus. Tapenade. California roll. Mustard. Crackers. Clementines. Apple. Pear. Sparkling apple juice. There may have been more. I can't remember. We'll be doing this again tonight since there are plenty of leftovers and I feel too crumby to cook.

Oh yes, as of today I am officially on the Board of Directors of North County Humane Society here in Atascadero. It's going to be a roller-coaster, but lots of fun, too. Now I'm going to watch the Rose Bowl and vegetate. Oh yes! I watched the Rose Parade this morning. Our nephew, Alex Knight, was on the Ronald McDonald House float. Cool!

Great idea for a simple, yet memorable New Year's feast. The Polar Dip at Cayucos was my welcome to the next 364 days (or is it leap year?). Have you heard about the 3 course meals for $30 for 30 days going on in the county? Definitely worth checking out -I say we try for at least 3 if not 5!!! Please get well SOON - I miss beading, eating & laughing with you!
