On the Birthday list - season 2!

New Years Eve
As Ron Burgandy once said - For just one night let's not be Co-workers. Let's be Co-people.
Fel and I had the crazy idea of inviting our co-people over to ring in the new year.
I've got my Veronica Corningstone outfit all picked out and ready to go (pics to come!)

On the menu include favorites such as:
Firehouse Jalapenos - or "Gut Bombs" as Felipe affectionately calls them. Accompanied by Cocktail Meatballs and Parmesan Fondue.
Not to forget our other crock-pot fave, Lil Smokies, as well as Pickle Rolls.
For dessert I made some Cake Batter fudge
We've got Paula Dean's Lime Sherbert Punch to sip on
and Lava Lamps for the more adventurous party-goers.
I wish all of you a magical new year and all the best in 2012.
Be always at war with your vices, at peace with your neighbors, and let each new year find you a better man. ~Benjamin Franklin

Winter Sangria on the Food Network
Mom - what do you think about some Winter Sangria to sip on at Christmas? Might need it to survive a holiday with the Garber family;)

Time to party
Last night I slept 13 hours and it was pure heaven! Four days until Christmas vacation. I've still got a few gifts to pick up. Over the break my big project is going to be working on my closet. I found an awesome color palette I want to use:
I already have the brown dresser, and if you really use your imagination the walls just might pass for the cream color (a Willy Wonka sized imagination.) Just need to pull in the turquoise and red.
Tonight we have the Family Medicine and Urology Christmas parties. Will try to snap a few swanky pictures.

Holiday Baking (part 2)
Last night I made Aunt Louise's cream corn for the urology resident christmas dinner. HUGE hit! I think next time I'll have to take pickle rolls and 5-cup salad.
Today I made a new flavor of Chex Mix. I learned that Chicago-Style is where you mix the cheese and caramel flavors in the popcorn tin.
Chex® icago Party Mix
We also had Felipe's family over for tea and Rhubarb coffee cake. Who knew my picky-eater hubby loved rhubarb?

Reading is Fun: Hunger Games
Just finished reading a trilogy - think of a cross between Twilight and the Running Man. It's got the star-crossed lovers battling against all odds in an arena fighting for their survival for the viewer's entertainment. To make it even better, it's been made into a movie.

Lunch!
I feasted on a delicious baked potato buffet this afternoon at my MIL's.
muy deliciosa!
And I got a gorgeous new bracelet from abuela.
It has been the perfect weekend.
Deck the Halls
Yesterday evening we poured ourselves a drink, put on some Christmas music, and decorated our casa.

Wanted to post a quick pic of my first designer purse - L.A.M.B and my new Cole Haan loafers. If they had a fur lining they would be as comfy as slippers!
Santa Paws
Today was a perfect day. I spent approximately 14 hours in bed catching up on sleep, cuddling with the kitties, and reading the next book in the Hunger Games series.
I crawled out of bed just in time to sip a cup of eggnog coffee and head out to my hair appointment.
This evening we got out the christmas tree and holiday decorations.
The kitties most definitely did not like their new holiday hat and beard. They were acting like little grinches.

Bitty Box
Here's a pic of some of the more exotic varieties we received in our Door-2-Door delivery box.
The dates never even made it into a recipe, they were gone within the first day. They were absolutely delicious.
On the menu for tonight is Cream of Parsnip Soup with Bacon and Potato Crisps.
This weekend I'm going to make Sweet Potato and Celery Root fries and roast the chestnuts.
Right now I'm sipping on a Maple Old-Fashioned made with my new BitterCube bitters - the perfect fall beverage.
