This is my countdown-to-2009's major project. It used to be Rueben's "task" to cook our usual celebratory meal, but he's working late today. Different cook, different menu. Clockwise from top: bacon cheese and herb fettuccine (oh-so-fattening), plain boiled carrots (to counter the fatty food), and pan fried chicken (skin and fat removed). For drinks, we have red wine and a bottle of chilled 'something' - it's alchohol, but I have no idea what kind. For desserts, about half a bar of chocolate (I like my choc slightly melted) and a small cup of baskin robbins ice cream. Then, we have an assortment of snacks - mixed nuts, chips ...
You may be wondering why we have so much food. Well, other than the meal I cooked, the rest of the stuff were supposed to be our Christmas celebration party food. But this Christmas was particularly tiring for all of us, so there you go, leftovers for new year countdown. I'm determined to be awake for this. I'm hungry. Rueben's still not back.
At least our "noisemaker" is (currently) keeping quiet this time.
