Happy 2015!
Our end-of-the-year dinner brought dear friends to our table.
Andrew planned the entire menu and executed it. I set the table and lit the candles.
Champagne glasses lined up
waiting for the guests.
French peasant bread from La Fournette
Bigos (Hunter's Stew)
Standing by for dessert.
Le Formidable aux trois cremes
et aux trois liqueurs
(Translation: Delicious!)
A few guests had seconds.
I won't name names!!
Spirited dinner conversation.
and then....
Out came the cell phones!!
No, they weren't texting or talking.
Rather, they were showing off their adorable granddaughters
born in 2014.
As always, we had an interesting, delicious and fun time together.
Did we ring in the new year?
Yes, we just weren't sure where!!
Bonnie! what lovely look all ! love your champagne glasses!!

I would have been one of the guests asking for seconds on the beautiful dessert. Our dessert last night was chocolate rum cake. What a delicious way to end the year. Wishes for a wonderful 2015, with many delicious moments.

Happy New Year! I had to laugh about the cell phones- that's exactly what my friends and I were doing too...sharing grandbaby pictures. I can't think of a better way to ring in the new year!
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like you had a wonderful evening. What I wouldn't give for a crusty loaf of bread from La Fournette. Best wishes for a healthy and very happy 2015, Bonnie.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great way to celebrate . . . with family, great food, and sharing photos of loved ones! Love all of it!
ReplyDeleteHope you have a happy and healthy 2015!
Your comments about cell phones made me chuckle . . . at our Christmas dinner, one of my sons-in-law looked around towards the end of dinner and said, "Hey, no cell phones are out!" Our 30 something kids impressed themselves! Looks like you had a great time, Bonnie. Great way to start the new year.
