“For unto
us a child is born…” Isaiah 9:6
“The pleasure of a great meal is doubled when shared with one whose company you treasure”- Pelagia
“Your smile is the best curve to make one’s life
staright”- Pelagia
That’s how our friends in ancient Rome would
write it, otherwise known as the 2014th year of Anno Domini. Did you know that the earliest recorded festivities celebrating a new
year’s arrival date back some 4,000 years? And did you further know that the
Ball dropping at 1 Times Square in New York City was first
held on December 31, 1907 to welcome 1908?
Can you name the two years that the Times Square Ball
didn’t drop since that initial drop in 1907 until today?
Try 1942 and 1943.
But let’s look at
2013. How was yours?
Mine was fast. Very. Fast.
It was like Time sat behind the wheel of my life’s
sedan with a lead foot. With eyes wide I watched as a passenger as life blurred
by like telephone poles on the side of the road.
No excuses here but was I surprised to see that
my last blog post was in May. Between a new job and moving and traveling and medical
matters and family events and etcetera, 2013 was gone in a blink of an eye.
That doesn’t mean I havent been eating. I have. I simply havent been writing about eating. But while eating I’ve also been musing. So I wanted to take a moment and share some musings of mine on food and love and friends and family as we close out 2013 and step into 2014.


Thank you to all of you here and abroad who have been a part of
my readership. To all of you I wish a
wonderful and magical New Year.
Próspero 2014!
Prosit Neujahr
Feliz Ano Nuevo 2014!
