I usually write a summary of the year in the form of a top list around New Year’s, but this year it will have to wait until next year 
(next week hopefully).
We have decided to stay at home tonight and celebrate just the two of us. First of all because it is actually our first New Year’s together! Last year O headed to Spain a few days after Christmas, and the two years before I was in Sweden, and he in Spain. But tonight we will be drinking some bubbly and eating the 12 grapes together at midnight! But first we are making a menu inspired by the Barefoot Contessa (Food Network’s Ina Garten) – marinated salmon, fresh asparagus, pear clafoutis…

Happy New Year everybody and I hope that 2009 will turn out to be a great year for everyone, with lots of happiness and love!
