KelleeM - I'm really sorry his family hasn't included you. Some people are selfish...or able to tune out emotionally I guess? I would think that you would be a wonderful reminder of their dad for them, and vice versa. Hugs. I'm the same way with wine, but would just keep it in the fridge for a few days and nurse the bottle.

stormsts , which puzzle are you doing? It's great fun and a good escape during your busy season. It’s a galison puzzle called Main Street Village. It’s a nice winter scene. There may be a little too much snow in the picture. That’s going to be the toughest area to finish. KelleeM I am so sorry your stepchildren have excluded you from their lives. Welcome kitbop. I agree with jeremysgirl, this is the best daily thread on the nsbr side.

Happy NYE! I made us a big breakfast...cranberry orange bread pudding with bourbon sauce, sausage and hash browns...and now we are wondering if we won't be hungry for our dinner reservations. We always go early so we can get home and relax the rest of the evening. I foresee bringing a lot of it home. It's a great little Italian place. They always include an enormous salad and baked ziti to share, in addition to your entrees. We may even split one tonight. The portions are enormous. Now if we are able to agree which one...everything is so good.
The plan is to come home, play some games and get in the hot tub. I hope it keeps snowing. We aren't getting a lot, no real accumulation, but I love the steam of the hot tub in the snow.
Stay safe, everyone!

We are repeating all of the 14yo’s favorite recipes while he stays with me this week. He has requested Korean beef (the cheater version, made with ground beef) tonight, which we’ll have with steamed rice and broccoli, followed by the traditional (ha ha) root beer floats to celebrate the new year. Then I will go to bed and he’ll play video games all night. Another exciting New Year’s Eve! kitbop, welcome to the dinner tribe. Please be aware that the word rechauffe just means leftovers in French. We’re fancy like that. sueg, warm wishes to your stepmum for a fast and full recovery. KelleeM, hugs to you. I’m sorry Dick’s family are being buttheads. Open the wine.

I've got a little cake in the oven. I took a picture of my favorite recipe from the little cakes book. It's the chocolate whiskey cake. I happened to be at the liquor store last week buying a gift for my dad and I noticed they had a bottle of chocolate cherry cream whiskey. I thought it would be good in this cake. So I bought the bottle.
It goes in the frosting too. Should be delicious. I figured I would treat Jeremy since he is treating me to dinner..

Happy New Years Eve to the tribe!
We are staying home tonight and will probably lay be in bed before 2024 comes in! It’s always been a night for us to stay home and off the roads.
YDS and his girlfriend were driving home from a restaurant last night and hit a pot hole in the road. His truck tire popped and the wheel was damaged. A tow truck towed them home. Thankfully they were fine. DH and I drove out to their place this morning to take his other set of tires which he stores in our basement. We were able to get some scratches in with our two grand dogs - 2 ginormous English Mastiffs.
We still have no snow. It’s been raining here daily and temps have been above freezing. Not sure what happened to winter.
Supper will be rechauffe steak for me and grilled burgers for DH.

Our NYE dinner. I don’t think we’re going to make it to dessert! From bottom left, anticlockwise. Fish ceviche with pico gallo salsa, avocado and mango salad, our first attempt at corn tostadas, chipotle beef tostadas with fuego salsa and crema, scallop tostadas with pomegranate seeds, champagne, chilli prawns Almost time for fireworks, then bed

I've been cleaning all day. And decluttering. And un-Christmas-ing the house.
Dinner is just snacking. I still can't taste due to covid, but for the rest of the family, there is shrimp cocktail, cheese assortment, pastries, lasagna, chips and salsa.

KelleeM your FB post was the first one I saw when I turned my phone on this morning. The photo made me happy and sad all at once. I'm sorry that Dick's kids have hurt you with their distance and thoughtlessness. kitbop hello! I'm so happy to see you here on the dark side, my GS friend! I hope you stick around. Your mac & cheese sounds out of this world amazing!

Well, it's 2024 over here, and oh what a beautiful day it is! We went out for dinner last night with the same friends we went out with last NYE. They are food lovers, particularly modern Asian fusion, just like us. We went to a well known Melbourne restaurant that surprisingly I hadn't been to yet, called Chin Chin. I won't bore you with the photos, but here is the NYE banquet menu:
KINGFISH SASHIMI - LIME, CHILLI, COCONUT & THAI BASIL HERVEY BAY SCALLOP - CURRY-ROASTED CORN, THAI BASIL, LIME SALMON TARTARE - CUCUMBER, SAMBAL OELEK, SESAME CRACKERS CRISPY DUCK - PLUM SAUCE, PANCAKES & SLAW TWICE-COOKED BBQ LAMB & SPRING ONION - SESAME PICKLED CABBAGE, YELLOW BEAN DRESSING YELLOW CURRY OF COCONUT STEAMED TOOTHFISH - ZUCCHINI, SQUASH & TOMATO LARB-SPICED ROASTED BEETROOT - CUCUMBER & MINT RAITA, MACADAMIA CONDENSED MILK ICE CREAM - VIETNAMESE COFFEE, CHOCOLATE, SALTED PEANUT
Sorry for the shouty caps, I just did a copy-and-paste from the menu.
The food was amazing. I came home with two of their cookbooks, and I'm excited to try some dishes out over the next few weeks.

This guy was out there in the dark and snow to cook my dinner. And it came out pretty good. When I was married, we grilled all year round ... ex would have to brush snow off the grill in order to use it! He would be out there grilling steaks and salmon for us in really cold weather ... never bothered him ... in the dark but we had a bright light on our deck.

I mean yeah, when you live in a northern climate you have to be ok with grilling in the snow. 😂

We grill all year round as well. DH will brave the cold and snow but he will boycott the grill if it’s raining. We have our barbecue on the deck and it’s partially covered.

Happy New Year to the dinner tribe!🎆🍾 As usual we are staying in tonight, flipping between the specials on tv. I always make it until midnight but DH usually takes a nap before getting up just before midnight. Dinner was a charcuterie spread with the boozy truffles I received for Christmas as dessert. Low key celebration for sure!
Wishing everyone a happy and healthy 2024!
