Thursday: New Year's Eve.

Today was a whirlwind of shopping for groceries and converting those groceries into food.

Also, today was the day that they repainted the balcony.  I don't they're called lanais here.

 I also failed to take pictures of most of the food.  The only thing that I did remember to snap was the cheese plate:

Goat cheese, blue cheese, some third cheese that I don't remember.

And then more cooking continued, with the only major problem being a burn.  I guess the fact that we've gone something like seven years doing these NYE things with this being the first casualty is pretty good.

Here are the recipes that I didn't take pictures of.

• Corn pudding.  This ended up too eggy for me.
• Potatoes.
• Butternut squash soup.  After spending a lot of time yesterday working on this, I completely forgot about it and never had any.

Also there was pork in a delicious mushroom sauce and some green beans.

• Christmas baking.
• Dog, no.  Stop that, dog.
• Star Wars fan theories.  I can read and link to these now.
• BB-8.
• New level.
• And just a final reminder that tomorrow is the Day of Third Impact, so I hope everyone is ready for the conclusion of the Human Instrumentality Project.

And this link has been sitting lonely in my saved RSS feeds since last year.

• The artwork of La Vie Parisienne should really be collected and anthologized.
