We have marvelous friends (more like family) who, for some unfathomable reason, decided to host a New Year\u2019s Eve dinner and invited us to help cook (the unfathomable part of it was letting us help cook). What that really meant, of course, is that they allowed us into their kitchen to create a gigantic mess. Who does this, other than family?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anyway, the huge mess we created did actually result in a delicious dinner. The menu was as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

New Year\u2019s Eve itself was celebrated with a bottle of 2006 Pol Roger (Winston Churchill\u2019s favorite champagne)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I wish I could say that I didn\u2019t eat after that for a month, but, alas, that is simply not true.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
