Here we go, a week after Christmas and it's already New Year! Unfortunately I have been a little under the weather the past week as I got a cold after Christmas, but now I'm feeling better and ready to take on the new year. Sometimes it can be nice to have a cold (as long as it’s not too bad!) as it does give you an excuse to read those books that have been piling up and to simply relax. But now after a few days of relaxing it feels good to have more energy and to get back to working, cooking and talking!
Even though I love Christmas and all that goes with it, I also feel relieved and refreshed once it's all over. And New Year's Eve signals that time perfectly when it's time to throw out the Christmas tree, clean up thoroughly and organize Christmas presents that dont't have a designated spot yet. The time around New Years is also a good time to get inspiration and think about work and life in a new light for the coming year.
Today we are enjoying a calm day with good food and zesty margaritas instead of Champagne – hopefully all the vitamin C will scare off any more colds. I'm making fried goat's Brie cheese with cloudberry sauce for appetizers (it's traditionally a dessert) along with fish roe on top of crackers with avocado, red onion and sour cream. For main meal we are having a beef rib roast and twice-baked potatoes and for dessert white chocolate mousse with cherry salsa. Whew – it's going to be a good day for food!
I always like idea of a new year – new possibilities, new inspiration and new thoughts and conversations. These last couple of months have been filled with activity related to House of Adeline, which has been above our expectations, that has been truly great.
Hopefully the coming year will offer even more progress and new ideas.
So Happy New Year! May the coming year be a good one with new discoveries and good times!
