The Roof is on Fire

Coley: "Pass that mayflower please...wait, is that what it's called?"
Jared: "That is cauliflower, the mayflower is the boat the pilgrims came over on..."

so Colten tried cauliflower for the first time, and enjoyed it.

Fun-do night, aka New Years Eve, was fabulous.
we made parmesan chicken nuggets (from my new cookbook).....
and steak, which I cut in little pieces.
all the meat was then put on a stick.
(which makes it way more fun, in case there was any question)
there were dipping sauces:
curry, mustard, and horseradish for the steak,
bbq for the chicken.
obviously, you are suppose to cook the meat in hot oil, however, I only have one fondue pot....and it had cheese fondue in it.... for dipping the bread, mayflower, broccoli, and if you were one of my boys the meat..... after dinner was chocolate fondue...strawberries, bananas, pineapple, marshmallows, and angelfood cake.....
all made just a little better dipped in chocolate....
we stuffed ourselves and talked about our resolutions for the new year...
then we moved into the living room to watch the ball drop.

following the Spanish tradition of eating 12 grapes at midnight....Jack waits patiently for the countdown...all the while coming dangerously close to impaling his right nostril with the grape skewer. toasting the new year with some party juice (sparkling white grape juice and raspberries)...
wishing everyone the best in 2009. I really do feel like it's going to be a great one...
