Well besides the events of today with Murphy, we had a pretty good new year.
Last night for dinner, we went to "Next" which is a wood fired bistro and wine bar. We had been once before and were pretty impressed so we couldn't pass it up when we saw how reasonably priced their four-course meals for the holiday were.
I had crab cakes for the first course (plus Phillip's since he didn't care for them), lobster bisque for the second course (plus some of Phillip's cranberry pecan salad because, again, he didn't care for it), baked atlantic salmon with a burr blanc sauce served with masked potatoes and cooked shredded carrots (Phillip had a New York strip steak in a peppercorn wine syrup and topped with fontina cheese, garlic, and breadcrumbs - also served with the potatoes and carrots), and creme brule for the fourth and final course. All of this was shared with a bottle of wine between the two of us. It was a wonderful meal!
The night concluded with ringing in the new year with Phillip's parents and some family friends. Of course, the traditional New Year's ball made its annual appearance.
What a great first New Year's Eve celebration as a wife. I can't believe we're embarking on a new year. 2011 was so busy and it'll be fun to see how 2012 compares.
HAPPY NEW YEAR BLOGGERS!
