How did I fare this New Year’s Eve?
(I bet you’re just dying to know)
The house was kinda clean-ish
The tree arranged, just so.
Invites to parties?
Nonexistent.
So we decided to lay low…
But my in laws descended upon us,
“Feed us!” They hungrily cried.
(I ran away to nurse the baby)
“Deal with them husband” I sighed.
While I dozed, (for like a minute, I swear!) a plan for a feast was in place
I feigned exhaustion, and begged off, applying cold cream to mah face.
(It’s entirely possible that I may have indulged in a teeny tiny martini.
Quit judging me.
What is this? The Gulag? Italy under Mussolini?)
While the worker bees were busy whipping up mah dinner,
I made my resolution. In twenty eleven…
I won’t get any thinner.
No related posts.
Yesss!!! That is my kind of resolution.
Awesome, join me won’t you?
Amen sister.
Plus, I now want to lick my monitor.
“Lick my monitor”…dirty.
Shrimp are actually very healthy for you, so eat them without remorse. Although if you’re topping them with butter, you’re on your own, Food Pornographer.
To be fair, as far as Russian feasts go this wasn’t too bad…there wasn’t a single dish with mayo or dill…can it still be categorized as a Russian feast without those essential ingredients?
I say that is a perfect resolution.
Word. Feel free to adopt it for yourself!
I LOVE IT! Now I want to write a poem, too!
Oh yes please!
I agree with Lori, I was pretty close to my screen trying to get a whiff. Wow. Looked amazing. Wanna send you In laws up my way. Us Canadians are very multicultural and friendly : )
Dana
Hey, hey the in laws weren’t the only ones responsible for the meal…it was all MY idea! And I stirred the risotto.
Oh, woman, you are incredibly blessed.
Anyway, you’ll prolly get this comment in the year 2012…so, whateves.
Still, what pictures….is it you or is it hubby?
He takes one stinking picture and now people are questioning the very nature of MAH photography skills…ugh.
I think it’s slightly ironic that you get mistaken for SPAM after your recent brush in with a spammer….glad you’re back on the twitter. (Sounds like drugs)
This is radical. I’m pretty sure there is not enough poetry in my life. Or lobster. Must correct … thanks for the inspiration on both accounts.
Okay confession? No one had ever cooked lobster before and we screwed it up pretty royally…not entirely cooked all the way as a matter of fact. The next day we cooked the last two tails and were much more successful.
It’s time for me to cook, and I can say with complete certainty that our boring roast beef w au jus sandwiches pale in comparison!
I only get adventurous for a big shindig like New Year’s and this year all I really did was come up with the menu, MAH staff did the rest
Oh man, I am SO wanting one of those martinis now! And the food? Yum.
Dieting is overrated and a waste of good food.
Best of luck in your endeavors!
Thank you. I am certain I will be quite successful. Got to say this is muuuch better than toast!
I LOVE your photos, and that is my favorite kind of new years.
Happy 2011!
Thank you Ann. ANN IMIG READS MAH BLOG! (I’m getting that stitched on a pillow) Do you ever get tired of the flattery? Because I can tone it down.
Wonderful! Favorite line? “…applying cold cream to mah face.”
Happy New Year!
Oh thank you for READING, you know what I mean? I so appreciate “meeting” you this year, to many more fun times in the new year to both of us!
Why don’t you ever invite me to dinner? Hmm? I’m totally offended. And I think I saw things that were green – which pretty much guarantees weight loss!
But who needs weight loss! You are a true poet, my friend.
You have a standing invitation. Anytime woman, anytime. Except on Mondays, we’re closed. BWAAAHAAA (I slay me)
The green things were delicious, they do not however negate the lobster, sadly.
And thank you now I finally have the answer to the SAHM favorite question, what do you do all day? I poet.
[...] This post was mentioned on Twitter by The Flying Chalupa, SheSuggests. SheSuggests said: I wrote you all another poem. Diet? Bite me! http://bit.ly/gnGNDK [...]
so, so true.
i ate my weight in homemade cinnamon rolls last week.
let’s say we not get thinner together.
Homemade Cinnamon rolls? That sounds delicious! Look at you done with school turning into Betty Crocker, go girl.
I woulda trudged over in the snow just for olives.
Oh the long and treacherous trudge for olives, that sounds like a fun sporting event, what say we make it a weekly one?
Laying low, looks like the best, and yummiest, way to go! Delish looking. But, i will refrain from licking my monitor (sort of a shared computer — who knows what is really on that screen!)
That’s one benefit of living in a cold climate, makes hunkering down at home that much easier!
Oh my Gawd!!! That food! I want to lick the monitor, too!
And that’s my favorite kind of cocktail there, little sister.
I made a resolution to eat better, but there’s still a lot of William Sonoma peppermint bark left and so I had some for breakfast. Maybe, after the peppermint bark is gone, I’ll start.
And by the way, the ducks at my house serve no purpose unless you call being an asshole a purpose. They are my daughter’s pets, although they are crappy pets. Pun intended.
I have a feeling if we got together IRL we would do some major gastronomical damage.
Duck is tasty. Just saying.
Ha! So cute! Please don’t tell me that was your meal! It looks like it is straight from a magazine. Mmmmm!!! Thinner schminner, I wish you could invite me over for dinner!
Oh snap, a rhyming reply!
Of course that was my meal, it’s my new diet I only eat things that could grace the covers of magazines, and make other people jealous.
I’m one step ahead…my new year’s resolution is to actually eat more. So far, success!
That sounds reasonable…I mean the wedding is over time to put some padding on that sad little butt of yours
That looks just slightly delicious!
Happy New Year to you and your family!
Ah but you got to eat in SF…last time I was in SF I was sick the whole time and didn’t get to eat out once, it just about killed my spirit.
bwahahaha! Too frickin’ funny!! Found you via twitter…can’t wait to read some more!
Ah the Twitter, it’s like a referral service without the steep fee. Thanks for being here!
