Two Down, One To Go + Sugar Fest

One more holiday to go in the grand season of holidays, and it's back to normal, or what passes as normal for us.

Of the three holidays, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year's eve, New Year's eve is the most obnoxious, and potentially the most dangerous in Oakland. I don't understand what all the celebration is about? Is everyone celebrating because they buy a new calendar?

If you're out reveling in Oakland you'd better be careful. Bullets are flying everywhere. The M 80's and the cherry bombs have started going off already.

The food of choice for the New Year celebration, if we have to call it that,  is crab legs and black eyed peas. This food is reported to usher in good luck by my dearly departed brother-in-law Micky. Geri and I could have used some luck in 2013.

This Christmas was a sugar fest for me. I made the peanut butter truffles. One of my clients gave me a a pound of See's candy and there was a ton of desserts at the 7 Fishes celebration this year, which I sampled.

Next up comes the evaluation of last year's resolutions, and the new resolutions to replace the old ones. Till then it's leftovers.

That's it.

Life is what happens in between meals.

Peace,

Make Food, Not War
