menu planning for NYE '08.

i have so much to do and yet have still taken it upon myself to throw a small get together at my place for NYE. sophia has come down with a cold and it's best for her to be able to rest at home and in her crib.

i really want to make my own little gourmet pizzas. i can use pre-made crusts and throw some fresh mozzarella, garlic, pancetta, fresh tomatoes, and arugula on one, and mushrooms, caramelized onions, and gorgonzola cheese on another. target also has these amazing (yes, they're frozen. and easy. shut up.) spicy apricot hor d'oeuvres that are to die for. swear. i can also make mini tortillas espanolas by cooking little individual tortillas in a cupcake pan. maybe i shouldn't over do it and stick to that. but herb marinated goat cheese served inside radicchio leaves would be so tasty, though! oh well, the boys will be grilling on the balcony and i'm sure that someone will bring desert. the 12 grapes at midnight are a given.

must figure this out soon. i will consult with the hubster.

  1. I'm reading this on the second day of the new year... meaning, the diet has begun! But all that food sounds so yummy! We must have a dinner party / potluck. I would love to have you all over...

    And yes, 12 grapes a midnight is forever on the menu!
