What Are You Doing for New Year's Eve?
CellarDweller:
Happy New Year!!

Dinner was good, but, actually, till I got done with it and got everything cleaned up, I got in a pretty foul mood. I couldn't make up my mind what I wanted to do. I figured my usual drinkin' buddy, who's a waiter, would be dead on his feet after working New Year's Eve. He had hinted he wouldn't be out for a cocktail after he was done working. Finally I decided to clean up and dress up and go by the Usual Watering Hole anyway. I figured if it looked too crowded, I could just turn around and come home and drink my own liquor--because they still don't have my Glen Livet.
To my surprise, just as I was ready to leave home, my drinkin' buddy texted me that he was going to stop out anyway. To the surprise of both of us, he had an uncommonly bad New Year's Eve, bad in the sense of only seven "tables' in the restaurant where he works, and cheap tips, so he wasn't too tired anyway.
So we had drinks, and I ran into another old friend I hadn't seen in a long while, so it turned out to be not a bad evening after all.
The Korbel champagne for Midnight was a bit drier than I would prefer, but it was balanced by the sweetness of the Bacardi and Coke I was drinking. ;D
Whichever fool was in charge of the TV in the bar did not have it tuned so we could see the Ball drop. >:(

Then my traditional Beef Wellington, individual, with duxelles and foie gras. Perfectly rare this year! Artichokes with vinaigrette.
Little rosemary creamer potatoes.
A beautiful Spanish cava with Joey's homemade stollen.
Listening to jazz streaming on WOMR Provincetown radio. Heaven.
Happy New Year to all!

My Wellingtons tasted better than those.

I should hope so!
