My past few new years haven't been very exciting. I stayed home so I could get up early the next day and do work. This year I went out to see M. and A. and S. and the extended G. family. I left after work and made pretty good time until I got off the turnpike. I've done the drive often enough that I should really know the way, and yet I don't. Plus it was dark and those roads are twisty. I made good time until I got lost for 45 minutes or so. Maybe an hour. But! When I finally did arrive, dinner was just being dug into and I was hungry. I hope no one waited long on my account, eating-wise.
The steak wrapped in bacon was really just very good. Mashed potatoes were also delightful. I think I need to work on my overall appreciation of creamed spinach, but this was definitely a good rendition of the dish.
I liked the dressing on this salad.
Nothing is complete without a cheese course. A.'s father, T., is an avid cook-type. I've been able to enjoy his culinary style on two other occasions (
Easter and while in the
Adirondacks) and it appeals to the glutton in me.
There were also desserts, but the photographs I took didn't do them justice. Then a small glass of Scotch to round out the meal.
Just a great welcome after a rather silly and delayed run around the countryside in the dark.
