Happy New Year! Two Thousand Twelve - wow. I remember all the hoopla as we approached 1984 (due to the book), much less Y2K.

We had so much FOOD yesterday! We were planning a party, but the young folks were here early and left for a bonfire and the older folks were sick, so it ended up just me and Richard there the last few hours. We didn't even make it to midnight. :-)

Anyway, the menu last night (since that's what I write) was Crockpot Nachos, Cheese 'n Bacon Stuffed Mushrooms, Pepperoni Balls, Cheese & Crackers. Pretty good, but lots of leftovers. I made a Jewish Apple Cake, too. Apparently, my tastes have changed - I used to love the Nachos (ground beef, Velveeta, Salsa, Cheddar Cheese soup), but not last night. They just aren't that good anymore. The Pepperoni Balls were kinda bland, too. I think I'm just tired of the same old, same old, but that's what my guys ask for every year. Next year, if we attempt it again, I'm going to add at least a couple of new, healthier options, if only for me.

Happy New Year! I wish health, happiness and prosperity to everyone. My resolutions all surround taking better care of myself - body, soul and spirit.
