happy new year!

well, in some ways, 2011 went by in a flash.  to close it all up this year, we had a wonderful, non-stop celebration for christmas in RI and mike and i are about to have an appetizer party for two, to ring in the new year.  i'm at the end of a cold and didn't want to push it so we are staying in our cozy home tonight and making: dumplings, quinoa gryere cakes, roasted chickpeas, and kale chips.  i may cheat and have a sip of bubbly (two sips, fine)!

2011 brought a lot of joy, a few new babies to our friends, a bit of vacation traveling (DC, DR, Cape Cod), and some serious cancer butt-kicking action.  i will be making black eyed peas tomorrow, in hopes for some 2012 luck!

Happy New Year!
