Susan was very enthusiastic about breaking out the chanpagne, but Blue insisted we make do with wine (and gin and tonic for me) until dessert,
Which was chocolate fondue
and an assortment of dippers.
One of each for each. Well, perhaps more than one?
Annie was feeling a bit left out, chocolate being a no-no for pooches,
But a hug from Susan made up for the culinary neglect.
And finally, we saluted the New Year,
But a bit early, as this was how Blue was feelingby 9:30. By 10, we had all retired. We’ll do better next year. 2020 wore us out.
Happy New Year! Hope you all were able to bid a successful adieu to 2020. ( We also had cheese fondue for beginners. A naughty ending to a naughty year.)
We actually stayed up til midnight. 🙂
Wishing you an all round safer & more upbeat year than the last. 🙂

When I was catering, the hot fudge fondue was a favorite.

That sounds better than chocolate fondue. Why didn’t I think of that?

My daughter and I made it to midnight. A chocolate mousse was a highlight of our evening too, and watching the movie, “What’s Got Love to Do With It,” Tina Turner’s story. Happy New Year, Claudia

We had Fred and Karla here for French onion soup. They left at 9:15 (3 bottles of champagne later) and Jim nd I were in bed at 9:30. Our usual New Year’s Eve neighborhood gathering went by the wayside, obviously. I can’t remember ever not lasting till midnight before. I envy you the chocolate fondue, by the way.
