New Year's Day Party

















These are pictures of our 2nd Annual New Year's Day party. Everyone seems to like the menu, so we will probably make the same things every year. This should make Meredith and Ben very happy because they like to bring home leftovers.





















We always have little bowls of nuts and olives and lots of fresh flowers




















I made a Gateau Semoline (semolina cake), center, that has raisins and is flavored with vanilla and nutmeg with a caramel glaze.

















I also made gravlax, which is salmon cured in vodka for three days. It has a similar texture to lox. We also had crab cakes and french toast casserole. Dieting starts tomorrow!
