what are you eating for new years eve?

[prplchknz]

well...... for dinner cooking? going out? what?

I'm cooking, I'm making crab cakes, caesar salad, making the dressing from scratch, a medeley of peas, broccoli, and leeks covered in butter, and slice some sanfrancisco sour dough bread to go with it, and my mom is making this drink with peaches and champagne. I wanted to make chocolate pots for dessert but decided that was a bit much and we just bought baklava

 

[rav3n]

We're all bringing assorted appetizers and desserts. For the main courses, everyone will be choosing from Greek, Japanese or Chinese delivery. For drinks, byob, which will if history repeats itself, everyone bringing a bottle of champagne.

 

[figsfiggyfigs]

Airplane food!

 

[Totenkindly]

nothing.

I hate NYE. Before the separation, we used to get together with a few other families and do pot luck food and dessert, it was a great time. Since the separation, due to my moving around, I think I've had one great NYE when I was out at Suba's (a small evocative club/bar) with friends. Tonight I'm sitting here again with no plans because no one I know lives nearby, and I hate the social scene. Maybe next year....

Where are you flying?

Or do you just have really awful taste in food?

I'm spending new years at home as well with my parents, but I figured I'd cook something nice, although I'd make crab cakes any night of the week, i also offered lamb chops with mint and tomato salad, but we decided to wait until grilling weather and do the lamb on the grill. probably go to bed around 9 or 10 unless i decide to stay up and drink.

The food sounds really nice. I would cook here but I just don't feel like doing it for just me.

ha, you're such a crackup!
Bet the pig's thrilled too.....

.....

yeah I wouldn't either. it's not worth cooking for one person unless you do something you can freeze, like lasagne

yeah, I do that from time to time. I need to do that more, actually, this year in order to trim my budget. Otherwise it's too tempting to spend add'l money for one-shot meals.

when I was cooking just for myself I lived off of stove top stuffing for a month, not the healthiest option, but i need people so i eat healthier, because i love cooking for others but hate cooking for myself

I've been staying with uber-natural food conscious relatives in Connecticut. The food has been excellent. Oven is out of order so we're a little limited. So far today we've been nibbling at leftovers including Falafel with a raita type sauce, coconut oil fried eggplant in tomato sauce, turkey soup, ginger root tea, and my favorite a bottle of La Fin Du Monde Belgian style beer. Tonight I know the ladies are making chili and lentil soup, but I'm not sure what else. I've really been enjoying the raw milk in the house and I hope tomorrow morning I can try some eggs from the chickens in the back yard. Yum.

That sounds great. I've never been to NorCal, but I'll do my best to make it there if I get the chance.

Ftr, roosters can be total cocks. I relish the idea of the big rooster here being turned into a roast.

Heh... we had a huge white rooster growing up and he got to the point where he started to attack the grown labrador retriever we owned (so we ended up having to kill him). He was a mean bastard. Turning a rooster into a roaster sounds good to me.

Pizza.
Lobster Bisque.
Coffee with eggnog.

What a combo.

How dare you miss. How dare you insult the genius of airplane food.
I'm flying over to copenhagen in 20. The only thing I'm excited about is the food.

Reese airplane food that costs money. Now THAT'S insulting.

 

[bluestripes]

just what i commonly have for dinner - store-bought head cheese with horseradish paste, carrot salad with sour cream/mayonnaise and boiled potatoes. i liked the potatoes, they were very soft and had none of that unpleasant soapy taste.

i was exhausted after doing an extremely long and urgent translation on the day before, so i decided not to cook.
