Winner Announcement & Happy New Year!!

Happy New Year everyone!! I hope you all are too hungover from your fabulous NYE parties to even think of doing anything except cozying up with a hot chocolate and your favourite blogs :)

My NYE this year was the chillest one I'd had in a long while. The boy and I did...NOTHING. All we did was crack open 2 bottles of wine, a bunch of cheese, and watched some good classic cinema, like Hangover. Yes, it is possible to have something as pretentious as wine & cheese while laughing your ass off about bum jokes.

For 2010, my only resolutions are to finally decorate my apartment and to become a better chef by doing 1 new recipe a week. Totally doable I would say considering I have a small mountain of recipe books to go through. To conclude the past year, here are some photos of the places and people I've been with the last 12 months. It seems for many, 2009 was a time of change and often strife. I can't say I've had the worst or best of it, but I would say 2009 for me started off rough, then got smoother. I can only hope for good things to come in 2010!

that sounds like a perfect NYE to me - cause that's what we did! we were holed up at hte st. regis hotel in kauai and we ordered room service, opened champagne and watched 2 movies in bed. loved every moment of it.

you're already a great cook so i'm sure trying a new recipe every week will be easy for you.
