Happy New Year!
I am not big on New Years parties and would rather spend time with those who are close to me. The past two new years eves were spent having dinner parties with friends. This year Christopher and I celebrated with a seafood feast at home.
We cracked open a nice bottle of wine that I had kicking around.
This wine had a very deep colour that almost looked more brown than red to me. It's flavour got better the more we had, although we thought that some of the cheaper bottles we usually buy are just as good.
I am not much of a wine connoisseur.
Our appetizers includes mussels steamed with white wine and garlic, escargot and salad.
Dinner included ginormous tiger shrimp, crab legs, lobster and garlic bread.
This was an epic meal, and I am already excited to do it again! I looooove seafood! I ate every bite on my plate, plus another piece or two of garlic bread. We dipped all the seafood in melted butter (I used a small fondue put to keep it melty). I was never a big fan of lobster until we cooked it at home, and now I can't get enough. I don't think I'll ever order it in a restaurant.
Not caring much to "ring in" the new year, we were asleep before midnight.
We had some pink bubbly with breakfast this morning ...
And continued with the seafood this evening when we made a shrimp pizza ...
The pizza consisted of organic pizza crust, tomato sauce, spinach, red onion, shrimp, mushrooms, jalapenos, Irish Dubliner cheese, and goat cheese.
How did you ring in the new year?
