What do you do on New Year’s Eve?
Do you party? Do you have a party? Do you have a tradition? The last few years we have had a New Years Eve party. The boys invite a friend or in Sammy’s case, 5 of them… for a sleepover. There is lots of food and we just hang out…
This year I was tired. I am tired! I wanted to boycott the party. I was overruled! So… I went into the craziness called the grocery stores. You almost needed a drivers licease to navigate the traffic in there.
I didn’t let myself get worked up… lamaze came in handy! lol I didn’t even make a list… which is something I never do.
On the menu…
Clam Chowder
(I don’t eat seafood… but my men love it… so I looked up recipes and added this and that… and I must say… it is delicious! Don’t ask about the fat content!!!)
Pumpkin Soup with Ginger
Meatballs in Sauce
Pigs in a Blanket
(specially requested by the boys)
Shrimp
Mini Hor’dorves
Dips with Crackers
Carrot Cake
Cherry Cheese Cake
Of course this will grow over the evening as people will be bring stuff too.
My feet are killing me. I guess I do love cooking when I am not concerned about calories and the health factor. 🙂 Having people over means that Sanj went nuts cleaning and hanging stuff up.. Yah, my office is officially done!
I hope that my men all have a great time as I am really ready for my book… I am reading Saving Cee Cee Honeycutt and really enjoying it.
Of course once my friends come, I’ll get right into the mood of hanging with my friends.
Do you do anything special?
Happy New Year’s Eve!
Be Safe!
