Re: (...)
We'll stop at the Casino on the way home, so won't start cooking again until tomorrow night.
What are you all up to?
And...are all the New Years Eve dinner menu set? Our friend, Houseboat Don, may show up for New Years and he always wants to learn new cooking methods, so have no idea what we'll do this visit.
Retired and having fun writing cookbooks, tasting wine and sharing recipes with all my friends.

My inlaws are in town and the apartment is really too small for all of us to sit and eat so we will be dining out tonight. It is actually a welcome relief after the past week of trying to squeeze in all of the daughters' favorite meals.
No plans for New Years yet. Although a rib roast sounds pretty good to me.

Everything tastes better Alfresco!
I like the idea of the rib roast for New Year's after reading Daphne's post on hers. But, we are also thinking of having an oyster roast so not sure yet.
For tonight we are having a lighter fare from the holiday meals - tofu soba noddle soup!!! (Mister requested this)

I'm doing Jean's Ham, Leek, and Three Cheese Quiche with a salad on the side.
I'm still working on the New Year's menu, but Shrimp and Grits with the Crab Salad Cups are pretty set.

Left overs are done, tamales are consumed, so today marks our first day of eating right again. I'm going shopping tonight for veggies, fish and chicken.
My goal 10 pounds in 30 days and hubby's goal is 5 pounds fat gone, 2 pounds muscle gained and we both need to trim up. My new motorcycle heated gear does not appreciate the flab around the middle, nor do my lungs when I try to breathe

It's corn and cheddar chowder tonight (with chicken in it for the carnivore).

I also bought some of those frozen La Brea Bakery french rolls to bake - had never seen those before.
We really need to start trimming up too. Three months until I must don a bathing suit and this 47 year old body just ain't what it used to be!
