OMG, New Year's Eve! I can't think of the last time I've been so eager to ring down the curtain on a particular year. ( To put it mildly, )

new year's eve, mbv, game, nostalgia, writing

Here's to seeing the back of 2009, and may we all have a vastly improved 2010, both emotionally and financially! *hugs*

I'll drink to that! Tonight, I'm planning to feast on some Aldi's frozen lasagna (Xmas gift from a generous friend), paired with some donated green beans and followed up with chocolate pudding.

At some point in the not-too-far-distant future, I need to go through my cabinets and try to organize my canned goods, of which I have Quite A Lot.

Your dinner sounds very yummy. I worked late and had Aldi chicken egg rolls, which are even better than the restaurant kind, and two rum and cokes.

After going to Aldi two days ago, I have the overflow canned goods on a shelf in the laundry room. At the rate prices keep going up at Kroger, it's a worthwhile investment. :D

Thank you for jump-starting my brain with the phrase "shelf in the laundry room". Back in my daddy's day, we kept the canned surplus in a cupboard he built out in the garage, adjacent to the laundry area. If I clean off those shelves, it should offer ample space to house a couple dozen cans of whatever's on sale.

We had Aldi's chicken egg rolls as well this evening- they went well with the homemade sesame chicken that I cooked - along with Basmati rice. A fine farewell to 2009 dinner. Washed it down with an Italian Peroni Beer...adios 09.
Tomorrow will be BBQ ribs, collard greens, black eyed peas, homemade macaroni and cheese and cornbread--HELLO 2010!

** I told another person today that if 2010 starts out anything like 2009 did, I'll be the first one to go ahead and jump!

I had my mac-n-cheese fix yesterday, but I've got a stockpile of more in the pantry. I've got to try those eggrolls, apparently everybody loves them!

The mac and cheese I make is my grandmother's recipe- you make an actual macaroni and cheese casserole and bake it in the oven- I use grated sharp cheddar. It's so good that I can eat it cold when it's left over! The top bakes all crunchy--yum.

Oooh, that does sound good! Of course, I'm a sucker for anything with a ton o'cheese. I make the boxed stuff, NOT according to directions, and I always throw in about a half cup of REAL cheese.

2009 wasn't too bad for me (2007 was the worst - my dad died, so everything since then has to be a little uphill anyway) but it sounds like it's been the worst in a long time for an awful lot of friends. I'm happy to see the back of it and bury it deep for all y'all's sakes.

I hope 2010 is a much better year for everyone. Enjoy those blackeyed peas - I've got mine too! (And eggnog. Yum)

(And thanks for the game link - it guess Benton Fraser from DueSouth with not a whole lot of clues. Off to play some more....)

Amen! I'm resolving to look ahead, not back.
