A nice brunch of Migas, pinto beans, and Mexican rice along with some freshly made pico de gallo....that would do the trick! Lots of strong coffee too!
I wanted to show all of you my Molten chocolate cake that had been frozen, baked off in a convection toaster oven...not unmolded...ready in no time...
Some Scottish Shortbread....
My friend Ernie's wonderful recipe for Cranberry Pistachio Biscotti...

TWENTY live lobsters??!! OMG girl... what a feat! 2 bottles of Champagne seem reasonable after all of that work. (Hope you saved some for dinner!) :D
ReplyDeleteYour cookies and biscotti look like perfection (and the Molten lava cakes, too!) Happy New Year, my sweet friend! xoxo ~m.
P.S. My adoption papers are in the mail. ♥♥♥
PPS. I forgot to tell you... now I'm craving your Migas ~ with all of the sides and condiments . Yum!
ReplyDeleteHappy new year dear Linda! looks like youve baked so many goodies! YUM
ReplyDelete20 lobsters! What a wonderful New Year's Eve celebration you had. I've bookmarked your molten chocolate cake recipe and can't wait to try it. I love that it can be frozen so I can bake one or two as I need them.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year to you as well, dear friend. I hope 9011 will be a good year for us all.
Oops, I meant 2011. LOL Time passes quickly but not that fast!
ReplyDeleteIt's been our pleasure to be here in 2010.. now let's move on:) I can't believe you cooked 20 lobsters!!
ReplyDeleteMy DSIL made some and the 5 yr old and 3 yr old were scared:) And they told me they transformed(like transformers) in the water to red!!:) But Max said their daddy had given them shields.. Both Max and Lulu were given the stockpot covers..as defense:)
I LOL'd..
Thought you might too..
Tout a l'air si bon Linda..
Thank you for everything!
i would like to eat lobster again. it's been a while since i did. happy new year linda and alle the best for you and your family.
ReplyDeleteThank you my dears...I am still recovering from the lobster extravaganza...It was feat...I used three 12 quart pots and divided the twenty between them...I put them in the pots first then added a few cups of cold water to the pots...put on the covers and turned up the heat. This way they go to sleep and you are not plunging them into a vat of boiling water. I think they are more tender that way. About 20 minutes after the water started to boil and they were perfect.
ReplyDeleteBut that amount of lobster kind of freaked me out...I have had my fill for a while.
Mary...I am anxiously awaiting the papers...

I love the shortbread cookies, I really think I am going to give them a try next year.
ReplyDelete20 lobsters??? OMG Woody Allen would have died (remember Annie Hall??). I didn't entertain at all for New Years, just me and the Doc.... and way too much 12th night cake!! I think the beans look great but my eyes are still on the chocolate cake!
ReplyDeleteYou are amazing...you'll get mileage out of that lobster story for years. Wishing you a happy, healthy 2011!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, twenty lobsters! I cannot imagine...yes, the champagne would help! Happy New Year! I have enjoyed visiting your site this last year. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteMmmm 20 lobsters - must have been some party!
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year Linda!
Cheers!
