A bit more snow fell today, maybe 5-6 inches so far. Just enough to make the trip to the grocery store dangerous--not the roads, the aisles in the store. Nothing like a little snow and a holiday to turn the store into a mad house.
We'll spend a quiet night with a few friends, grilling steaks and boiling lobster, eating bacon-wrapped scallops drizzled in maple syrup (if you haven't tried the drizzle--you should) and sipping rose' champagne. For dessert, I'm trying bumbleberry bundles. Should they work out, I'll share the recipe.
Tomorrow, Sarah and John arrive from the city of brotherly love and we'll spend Friday, Saturday and Sunday afternoon deciding what place will be suitable to hold a wedding. Then, on Monday, we turn our attention to the Buckeyes, hoping this year's bowl performance is a bit better than the last two.
Happy New Year to you all.
Let alone the steaks and lobster...(oh, uh...) I am so curious about the scallops/bacon with the maple syrup drizzle! OMG! Naturally I've done the scallops/bacon thing before, but certainly not with the maple syrup and I have this hunch that it's to absolutely die for.

P.S. How can there be dieting when there is such wonderful FOOD to be had??? (Sigh.)

Happy New Year, Melissa! The menu sounds perfect. Resolution: more lobster in 2009.

Only someone from New england (or Cleveland) could call six inches "a bit" more snow!
Have a very Happy New Year!

Wow is that pretty. Unlike the 70s here. Is it too much to ask for just a little bit of chillier weather down here? Like maybe 60? ::sigh::

Happy New Year!! I'm a week late, but it's part of my resolution this year - to be a week late for everything. I think this is the one resolution I may keep!!
P.S. Every time you talk food, my mouth waters...

I love this picture. Is it Maine? I have never been to Maine but it is my dream vacation.We had planned to go last summer but had to postpone due to the prize of gas at that time.
