Favorite holiday moments 2009

Let’s do some participation, folks!

"Please get me out of this."

It’s the first “hump day” of the New Year, and everyone is a bit down (overcast sky above too). Let’s bring back some of the warmth of the last few weeks to cheer up January.

I’ll remember our friends, Adam and Elena, visiting the week of Christmas. We ate, and drank, and laughed, and talked – and ate and drank some more, cozied around the fireplace, with the dogs snuggled in. My special memory of the week? Standing by Elena in the kitchen as she showed me how to make tiramisu – and us guiltily eating it for breakfast the next morning. Yum.

What was your favorite holiday moment – especially to do with food? A new dish you tried that was a grand success (do give us the recipe!)? Good spirits shared around the fire? A special meal shared with special friends or family? Please share by adding your comments below. Happy New Year!
