Inspired by a blog post (heck, what isn’t?) that I saw today:

What was your last meal of 2007? At a little French bistro near Seattle University, my wife and I shared:

2 glasses of kir  
1 bottle of burgundy  
mushroom-and-pear soup  
herb omelette  
fries  
green salad with mustard dressing  
baguette & butter  
2 cups of coffee

…We would have had cheese or dessert, but we were stuffed. Got home just in time to see fireworks from our bedroom window. A happy new year indeed.

Obviously, it was get together party time, and obviously you all will have me beat.

Pizza with BBQ Sauce, chicken, bacon, and onion. Yeah, my co-worker was buying dinner for all of us stuck at work, and we didn’t have the heart to tell him how bad his favorite pizza sounded. It was alright.

Mm… reading this isn’t helping the January diet!

Four egg rolls, chow mien, chop suey, almond chicken, fried rice, two chicken balls, two fortune cookies, and water. At home, I nibbled the last chocolates and drank two glasses of diet cream soda. I was too full to drink the wine I’d bought on the way home from dinner out, so I toasted with the diet cream soda.

Officially for dinner we had crusty bread, pasta primavera and sausage lasagna.

Since it’s a long night, we also had a variety of chippage, baked brie with cranberries and walnuts, pickles and olives, crackers cheese and summer sausage, veggies and dip, tortilla chips with the choice of mango salsa, guacamole or salsa/cheese/sausage dip in the crock pot, roasted red pepper hummus with pita and a metric assload of cookies and mini-cheesecakes.

No one went home hungry! 😃
