What Excitement - A New Year Dawning

The first day of the new year, time of optimism and in my case beautiful sunshine - not a cloud in the sky - my kind of day. Some friends tell me they enjoy the serendipity which clouds provide as they float by. Not me, there would have to be a surfeit of sunny days to squander the luxury of unadulterated blue sky. This probably comes from living in the Vancouver environs.
Made pumpkin ice cream with pureed Australian ginger/apricot and a dash of cognac, as soon as I arose this sunny new year day. Also popped a chocolate chestnut gateau into the oven to accompany same ice cream. As a lover of pumpkin in almost all forms, couldn't resist creating the ice cream. My guests will determine whether it is a success.
Am going to include some photos from an earlier event this week - all photos taken by friend Jacqueline.







Happy New Year
