Wow, I love your festive banner!! Nicely decorated table, I guess it will be lots of fun around your home tonight, enjoy the night with your friends ! ;) Thank you for your new years wishes Ivan, made me smile. Happy to be your blogfriend, you already have inspired me to improve my cooking skills. Always glad to see you stopping by also.
May the new year that follows be the best you have ever had. Have a blissful new year!
Ivan, OH how I envy your guest and wish I could be counted among them, for I am sure a lavish culinary event will be awaiting them. Wishing you a most glorious New Year with all things bright and wondrous coming your way. – gary
Hello Gary, Thank you. Yes, we had so much to eat I am just drinking water today - guest have left today somewhat full with some cake for the journey!! I love cooking and sort of get carried away at this time of year! Wishing you a magical 2013... Ivan
Oh wouldn't it be wonderful if we could have 36 hour days - as long as we could use the extra hours to enrich our lives. I'm sure your guests are in for a delightful and delicious evening. I hope you all have fun and a very Happy New Year.
I went to an exceptional exhibit on Pompeii today, and I found myself thinking of you and your Normandy kitchen; also, Jim who enjoys cooking too. Would you believe there was a 2,000 year old loaf of bread that had been carbonized and thus preserved in the eruption of Vesuvius! It was haunting!
I'm going to post some pictures of things in the exhibit - hopefully they turned out because I only have a point and shoot camera, no flash allowed in the exhibit and only low lighting in the exhibit.
Hello Louise, Thank you, we had a really lovely evening last night. I shall look forwards to reading your Pompeii post, that's fascinating about the loaf. Best wishes for 2013. Ivan
Thank you Miss Sophie and Ron, Best wishes for 2013... Wooooof wooof woof wooooof grrr woof wowowooof (that's Pug for about the same and that he had a real bone today!!!) Ivan ;)
