2025 is Here!

 

First coffee of the New Year.

New Year’s Eve Dinner at Carol’s House

Carol’s amazing cookie platter: she made them all, including two flavors of strudel and rugelach.

Since it was also (a very late) Chanukah, we had two types of latkes.
These are the sweet-potato latkes. We also had traditional potato latkes.

Soup, cheese, lentil salad. Jason and Katrina made the soup…

Deviled eggs and smoked salmon. I made the deviled eggs,
Carol made all the rest including several dishes that I didn’t take a photo of.

The beautiful table setting. Zingerman’s made the bread.

Here we all are except Carol who took this photo. In case you are wondering,
I was wearing a rather dramatically patterned sweater that looks funny in the picture.
We enjoyed the holiday, and greeted it by using a set of whistles that Carol keeps for the occasion.

    All this food is making me hungry this morning-grin. At least I have some holiday cookies I can go munch on-Carol's look amazing. What is it about holiday cookie platters?

    You ate much better on NYEve than we did -- it looks fantastic. I must remember your tip of olives atop deviled eggs! In fact, I think I need to make deviled eggs. I love them!
