The Joy of Life!

Ahh, New Year’s Eve. A night usually filled with chips and dip, drunken parties that get out of hand and the most recognized ritual in America, watching the ball drop in Time Square. Come on, is this the best we can do? For some it might be. For others, it’s a time to celebrate life, to celebrate the beauty of family and friends. Rituals are only great if they transcend you into something new, something that changes you.
To celebrate the coming of 2012 and to celebrate my grandmothers 90th Birthday, I put away the TV, the stale pretzels and the party hats. It was time to pull out the white table clothes, red wines and red meat and throw an elegant party. I love cooking for others, it is a delight. The menu was small yet vast with culture from around the globe. The menu included Greek Lavash, Ginger Soup, Pork Curry Crostini’s, Pork BQQ Crostini’s and Bruschetta. It was a great time to share stories and to bring in the New Year with style.  If one would like a recipe for anything. I am open to sharing!
