Happy new year, everyone! I'm going to bed before midnight.
I want to torture you. I used to love it, and it's been a long time. I mean, the last time I tortured someone, they didn't even have chainsaws.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

And now to bed.

Happy New Year, Bitches!!!
It is past midnight here, and TCG and I exhausted. So, bedtime for us. We have much more to do tomorrow. I hope I wake up with a little energy.

Our wings are not tired.
Happy New Year!
It is nice to live in a bigger city again. I could see 4 different fireworks events from the back patio. Still hearing lots of booms, but can't see any more sparklies.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
Tell. Me. More.
And be specific.
This time I used a can of diced tomatoes with oregano and basil but the tomato pieces were too big so I drained them and chopped them smaller and then put them back with the liquid.
Then all you have to do is put a little sauce in the bottom of a small baking dish (a cazuela is perfect, if you have one) and unmold one of those pyramid-esque goat cheeses (chavrie?) in the middle, pouring most of the sauce around and spooning just a little over the top.
For the garlic bread I sauteed sliced garlic in olive oil until it just started to brown, then I made garlic butter with minced garlic stirred into softened butter. I spread the garlic butter on a split french loaf (half a baguette is usually the right amount) and topped it with the slices.
Bake the goat cheese at 400 for about ten minutes, then add the garlic bread to the oven. Ideally the bread should just start to burn when the sauce starts to bubble. (I like my bread just a little burned around the edges).
At this point there is a difference of opinion. I like to scoop big hunks out of the solid block of cheese, occasionally letting the bread sit in the dish for a few minutes to soak up some juice. Others prefer to stir the whole thing together into a smooth, creamy dip.
Was that specific enough?

It's really just a chunk of goat cheese baked in a tomato sauce-ish thing on toast? Whoa. I need to try that. It sounds delicious.

Whoa. I need to try that. It sounds delicious.
Considering its component parts, it really is mind-blowingly scrumptious.
Here's how it looks at the restaurant where I used to work.

Did I kill the thread with goat cheese?
What else are peoples doing for New Year's? Tomorrow I'm making Hoppin' John. Real original, I know.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
We celebrated the new year by ice skating and then reading Harry Potter, and then letting the kids see the big ball drop in NY.
Happy New Year everybody!
