Happy New Year's - umm - Eve !!

Here we are folks, the holiday's are over and there is only one last thing to do - Ring in the New Year! Christmas 2009 was great! We had company from out of town - a first for us during xmas. Had a good time. Still seems like I'm in recovery mode from those busy times. Hope yours was a good one too.

So how am I ringing in the new year? All day cooking feast.

The main course (main dish above) was Rice Pilaf, Yellow Split Pea Vegetable, and Indian Zucchini. Also on the menu was Carrot Salad.

Onion Chutney.

Chapati.

And to wash it all down - Gruet Demi-Sac Champagne.

Yeah I know, I'm suppose to wait until Midnight. Sorry. I failed. Note here, all items are of Indian cuisine (as in the country of India).

So how about a little story folks?
- Twas the night before New Years when all through the house, plenty of creatures where stirring about when all of a sudden there came such a clatter that I threw myself to the floor to see what was the matter. When I came to my senses and my mind clarified what was the matter, I realized it was not but a few morons shooting bullets to ring in the new year. Oh how we all know that what goes up must eventually makes its way down. Oh how I prayed that those metal object would make their way safely down.

Dicks!!

Anyways, hope your New Year rings a bright tone and might we all grow a bit in our own way.
-Cheers.
