Anatomy of a Great New Year's Eve

Kitty and I don't leave the neighborhood on New Year's Eve. Usually, we just walk over to Rose and Peter's house, cook dinner, watch the neighborhood kids shoot fireworks and wait for all of our kids to return home safely. This year, we did all of these things, but the location was our house. Peter brought over some Ghost Pines Cabernet Sauvignon (Winemaker's Blend). Kitty and contributed a bottle of Parados Malbec and a couple bottles of Montsarra Cava Brut. The dinner consisted of Steak au Poivre, Steamed Brussels Sprouts and a White Vegetable Mash topped with Sharp English Cheddar. Here are the "before" and "after" shots!

Needless to say, a great time was had by all.

Bon Appetit!
