New Year's Eve 2016 & New Year's Day 2017



We started New Year's Eve off with an early cocktail... the Ritz Bijou. Mellow with a crisp bite. Will post the recipe soon.  



Dinner was light; a ploughman's with plenty of options that carried us until the stroke of midnight. 



New Year's Day was cool and quiet and the California Gimlet was our pre-dinner cocktail. A solid vitamin C shot with a kick. Again, I will post the recipe soon.   



Dinner was slow cooker ham doused with apple bourbon barbeque sauce and surrounded by sliced apple and onion rings, buttery mashed potatoes and steamed brussel sprouts with a dash of white wine vinegar.  




Forgot to mention that our Christmas Fortnum & Mason order complimented our holiday nibbling and noshing.


Happy New Year, everyone! - JD
