Cheers to 2011

In 2009, when we got married, we registered for a souffle dish. I vowed I would make a souffle that year. I did not. I told myself I'd do it in 2010. On December 31st I realized I still had not made a souffle. So I did.



Julia Child had me so scared not to over beat my egg whites, I think I under beat them. Next time, I will beat them longer to get more rise out of my souffle. Jim gave it rave reviews, personally, I found it just okay- but I am not that big on eggs lately. Next up... CHOCOLATE souffle.

New Years Eve sure was an epic day of eating for us. After the souffle, we ventured to the Village Market and bought ourselves a live lobster. Hunter was very intrigued by the creature in the box.
We steamed the lobster in a boiling pot of onion, celery, parsley and some seasonings. Then, we dipped every last bite in butter.


However, before the butter dipping... Jim had to get the meat out. What a mess!


I play with my food... so what?


We started the New Year with mimosas, with fresh squeezed OJ. Cheers!



In 2011, I hope to continue to have fun with my friends and family and continue to venture outside my comfort zone, in all aspects of my life. HAPPY NEW YEAR!
