My NYE plans are pretty plain. Right now I'm cooking black eyed peas -- a recipe from a cookbook I got for Christmas. Tomorrow I'm going to make turnip greens (also from the cookbook) and corn bread, from a mix because I don't have eggs, milk, or butter to make it from scratch.
So tomorrow I'll feast on Hoppin' John and watch more dvds. Right now I'm watching The Closer, which I'd never seen before but it's pretty good.
Hec, that clip was wonderful. The placement of the motifs on Mascara's dress had me howling with laughter.
Askye, Hoppin' John has been a tradition with me for the last 10 years or so. It's made of YUM and the extra added bonus of possible (but probably not really) good luck for the new year is tasty too.
After a lovely dinner with Fela at a restaurant called Firefly, that he picked because we met due to Firefly, I'm off to do my year end burning in a neighbor's yard and he's off to a party. Perfect. We'll talk at midnight and get together tomorrow. Just right by me.
I'm hoping everyone is enjoying their year-turning as much as I am.
May 2007 be your best yet.
In a few hours I will pack up my things and head down to San Diego for this
Love the Abbey. I'm a little jealous. Especially because it is exactly the thing where I already have the wardrobe and perfect borrowable date.
There's an Abbey in LA too--is it owned by the same person? Great bar.
I am not sure I am doing this right. I think this is the right place, but I am not sure.
The person known here as "Gus" or "Weremonkey Gus" passed away on December 17. All of your "where are you, dude?" emails will go ever un-answered. I just can not do it.
Kimi, thank you so much for coming and telling us while you're in such pain.
Thank you and peace be with you.
Oh damn. I will miss you, Gus. Damn.
Kimi, thank you for passing along the news, sad as it is.
Trudy, thank you for taking care of putting a post in Beep Me.
