[livejournal.com profile] bonacorsi and I had a quiet night in. We opened champagne for NYGMT (Greenwich Mean Time, 4 PM Pacific) and continued our Fronch tradition of eating foie gras to ring in the year. What the heck, we only have another year we can do that legally. Now I'm depressed.

We also cooked some porchetta, which may become another tradition for New Year's. Simply because it's delicious.

I am now envisioning a foie gras smuggling ring, complete with secret pass-phrases like "The goose honks at midnight!" countersigned by "But the gosling sleeps on!"

On the 30th, we went to La Foret (because it's easier than finding reservations for the 31st or the 1st [and we had plans for both], and because the 30th was the anniversary of our engagement), and had foie gras for the first time.

Hellllllllo Nurse! Twas very very very good.
