2010 Fun Things

Skip the millennium. Here here are 10 fun things for the new year!

[Edited to add: Totally editing this post in the AM for typos and general alcohol-induced confusion!]

#1 Corn chips. So so good. And I ate way too many. They went so well with #2

IMG_2803 (427x640)

#2 BEER!!!

IMG_2806 (640x427)

Drank too much of the good stuff. Had some OMB Mule Bock

IMG_2805 (427x640)

Bottle #26!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

IMG_2804 (640x427)

IMG_2810 (640x427)

#3 Moose Drool Clone

IMG_2813 (640x427)

#4 The Simpsons!!! Evening entertainment game and the best show ever [Besides Gossip Girl!]

IMG_2814 (640x427)

Tiebreaker in the game? “Who has the hairiest legs”.

#5: Matt legs won.

IMG_2818 (640x427)

I realized that tonight was the first time I drank a whole bottle of one of Matt’s homebrews myself (I usually just have tastes when he pours them). Not sure that was such a good idea!

IMG_2816 (640x427)

I was sooooo ancy tonight that I just wanted to drink beer and eat chips for entertainment

IMG_2817 (640x427)

Some pumpkin ale.

IMG_2822 (640x427)

#6: We moved to the kitchen around 8-something to prepare dinner

IMG_2824 (640x427)

#7: The entree was grass-fed beef from U.S. Wellness Meats. I’ve been saving them for a special occasion, and tonight was perfect. We actually split 2 filet mignon’s in half so each couple got one – ’twas the perfect portion. Thawing the frozen filets in their package and cooking them was very easy.

IMG_2825 (640x427)

#8: Butternut squash risotto. Amanda used a MyRecipes.com recipe.

IMG_2828 (640x427)

We partied in the kitchen

IMG_2831 (427x640) IMG_2833 (427x640)

And dinner was served…

IMG_2835 (640x427)

The meat was perfectly rarely cooked by Matt and just how I love it. It was so nice to know it came from a good source.

IMG_2845 (640x427)

Kale, steamed in white wine, maple syrup and olive oil with salt and pepper until it turned bright green.

IMG_2846 (640x427)

Amazing butternut squash risotto – amazing. Classic with wine, garlic, nutmeg, parmesan, and chicken broth.

IMG_2848 (640x427)

IMG_2840 (640x427)

I had a lot more wine with dinner!!!!!

IMG_2838 (427x640)

#9: Dessert was just delicious dark chocolates

IMG_2849 (640x427)

I had at least one of each flavor 😳

IMG_2850 (640x427)

Wii was played

IMG_2851 (640x427)

And at 11:45 the new year ball drop was put on

IMG_2854 (640x427)

#10: Champagne was popped

IMG_2852 (640x427)

Ha-ppy New Year!!!

    All of the eats you had today looked amazing, but I do not think that I could eat that raw of meat!! I am a person that wants my meat “well- dead” I dont like to see the blood at all!! Also, does the Inn you are staying at allow you to use their kitchen or is there a kitchen in your room??

      We are allowed to use the big kitchen at the inn.

    Bonne année! The beef looks delicious. I have recently been trying to limit my meat & seafood consumption and, on the few occasions when I do eat them, I splurge on more ethically produced stuff. It’s shocking how great a difference it makes! And a little scary…

    I used to eat smoked salmon all the time (cheap, grocery store brand stuff). I quit buying it, and recently had a very good quality smoked salmon on Christmas Eve this year. To compare the latter to the former, would be like matching salty pink playdough against…well, real fish.

    I absolutely LOVE BHI, but have spent very little time there, since I’m always out on the beach or in a golf cart…ha! (no cars allowed on the island)
    Nice to see someone else enjoying that beautiful place! I’m sure I’d use the kitchen much more if I vacayed there at New Yr’s instead of in the summer!

    🙂
    It all looks delish, by the way!
