Good Morning Darlings!
I am Super Bowl obsessed. We are throwing a small party at the house and I can’t wait to have everyone there, hollering at the television and eating and drinking inordinate amounts of food and beer. And cocktails.
Time to start thinking about the decor. Hmmm…what to do?
Come on in for decorating ideas.

Good Morning Darlings!
Conversation last night at our house:
Me: “Honey, we should invite Rick & Denise over on Monday for the Chinese New Year. We can drink the sake they brought us in the gorgeous sake set they gifted us with and I can make pad thai.”
Eric: Crickets – then laughter. “Honey, sake is Japanese and pad thai, is, well, Thai.”
Me: “Um…”
I really should get out more.
Thank goodness for my friend Sofia, in NYC. She knows how to celebrate Chinese New Year. She sent me wonderful recipes for the most fun cocktails for your Chinese New Year.
Thanks, Sofia!

This is my fantasy centerpiece for Super Bowl. With all the calories removed, of course.
I don't think I have enough guests to build this.....
What are you serving at your Super Bowl soiree?

Today is our sweet Holly’s birthday and last night we celebrated by watching the Golden Globes and eating lots of comfort food.

Good Morning Darlings!
Welp, all the partying is done (until Super Bowl…), so I should really consider eating more healthily.
Let’s see what’s in the pantry and fridge.

Good Morning Darlings!
I love this song so much and it always makes me teary eyed. But in a good way.
What will you toast to tonight? Eric, I toast you, my love.
Hope you all have the greatest time tonight. Please be safe.

Good Morning Darlings!
Only a few more days of 2011 remain. Today I thought I would offer up a very pretty cocktail to toast 2012 in.
Pretty, pretty!
