Day 75 - New Years Eve

So NYE was a pretty quiet one for me this year. It's probably the second quietest NYE I've ever had. The most quiet one I ever had was when I was about 16 and didn't want to go out with my parents, but wasn't allowed to go to my friend's party. So I stayed home with my sister's dog and watched Reservoir Dogs. That was a pretty good NYE actually. Great cinema, good company ;)

Last night I went round to my sister's (surprise, surprise) and we had a couple of friends over for dinner. I made a Jamie Oliver recipe. A goats cheese and prosciutto risotto which everyone else liked but I hated. It had half a head of celery in it. It was finely diced but I didn't saute it long enough and it was still a bit crunchy. But that wasn't why I didn't like it. I just didn't like the flavour. It had 3 cheeses in it (pecorino, reggiano and goats cheese) and was very salty. I prefer risotto with meat or vegies in it...oh well, at least the others were happy!

Then we had a delicious chocolate mousse for dessert. It had tiny little bits of chocolate in it, it was sooo good!

I didn't drink much after my HUGE Xmas drinkathon. I wasn't ready for another horrible hangover.
