We had a very quiet and traditional New Year celebration with our good friends and their kids (our adopted grandchildren).
They arrived at 6PM and we had a welcome drink, of course Champagne which was good. Then we had asparagus soup with broschetta and main course was fillet of beef gratin with mushrooms, whinesauce, västerbottencheese and mashed potatoes (everything homemade of course) Til that I served mixed sallat. For dessert I had made my famous cheesecake which tastes like vanilla icecream.
After coffee time was almost 11.40 and we had to prepare for the stroke of 12. Glasses had to be carrid upstairs, champagne had to be opened and everyone had to dress warm. It was around -8C and we always stands on our balcony where we have the most gorgeous view over Upplands Väsby and all the way in to Stockholm. This year it was a bit snowy so not that good view but quite enough. We never have any fireworks ourselves. There are plenty to see since we have 180 degree vision.
I don't know if any of us gave any New Year resulotions. Did you?
The only real one I ever gave was to quit smoking which I did on January 6, 1997 and haven't tasted one since. I think it's a bit like alcoholists or any addiction for that matter. Once you stop you can't taste it again without getting back. So I call myself a nonsmoking smoker.
For all of you who did gave a resolotion I wish you luck and hope you succeed.
Looks like you had a very nice New Year's Eve. The food sounds yummy and you look very good in red :)
