Yes, great way to accommodate everyone. We don’t usually have a problem, but if anyone does want something more done, into the MW for a few seconds. Totally works.

Bombay Sapphire Gibson on the rocks, tipsy onions.
More comfort food. A bowl of pasta, mini penne, with an Italian sausage, onion, garlic, a splash of red wine, roasted tomatoes, tomato paste, capers and red chile sauce. Warm seeded sourdough roll, butter, green salad with tomato, cucumber, onion, o&v dressing. Wine, there will be bubbles at midnight if I last that long.

Let’s try one last post for my meal last night since the previous one didn’t take.
I chose tapas for NY Eve. Actually, across the day. I started in the mid-afternoon with an early afternoon Scooby Snack of some manchego, membrillo, rosemary Marcona almonds, red grapes, all drizzled with some Mike’s Hot Honey.
Some of Dali’s sangria came in the middle. A helpful start to prep of the rest of the tapas.
Next tapa was Patatas Bravas with Garlic Alioli on top.
About an hour later was Albondigas de Cordero - Lamb Meatballs with Mint and Tomato Sauce with grated Manchego on top, with sliced baguette to sop up the sauce. Finally, Espinaca a la Catalana…sauteed spinach with toasted Mediterranean pine nuts, garlic, raisins, and Aleppo pepper.
I ended with Licor 43 as my dessert. I made it to midnight to hear fireworks go off in my neighborhood.
Happy New Year to all. And here’s hoping for a better year then the past two have been.

As expected, we did not complete the ambitious menu we had planned because we were just too stuffed. What made it out was BFs Chorizo cheese dip and Mozzarella arepas, mom’s pepperoni stuffed mushrooms, our dumplings we had frozen from last week, and the ubiquitous “Pigs in Blankets”. I always preferred being home on New Year’s Eve, not wanting to be traveling around with all the drunks and amateurs. Seriously, who wants to be out on such a night?

Had I seen that cocktail soon enough to be inspired, I would have tweaked it just a bit and renamed it A Last Blasphemous Word, as a goodbye salute to 2021.

Care to share the chorizo queso recipe? Looks divine!
A post was merged into an existing topic: What’s For Dinner #77 - the “Let’s Start Anew” Edition - January 2022
Thank you. I had to “artfully” arrange the bottles so you couldn’t see my reflection in the window.

A few more December meals to catch up on:
Stuffed pork chop and veg, taco salad, homemade tomato soup, lasagne from the freezer with homemade pasta. The tomato soup was really good, can’t remember what recipe I used, but will post when found. Easy, and flavored with my sis-in-laws homegrown savory. Also added fines herbes - great flavorings for tomatoes.
