Happy New Year 31/12/09
Happy 2010, everyone! It’s not quite 2010 here yet, but I thought I should post an entry now before I forget. Also, a happy belated Christmas to everyone – and I hope that your holidays were great. :)
I had an amazing time visiting my family with Justin – we shared lots of presents and ate well (Justin even got me a giant lolly which I sucked on for a few days :D) and I now have lots of things that I can use to learn to cook in the new year – some pans, measuring spoons, a casserole dish and even a Dutch recipe book from Emma.
I also went out to dinner at London steakhouse, Goodman’s, as the company Christmas do and it was the best meal I’d eaten all year (sorry, mum!) of New York strip steak, mushroom sauce, beans, chips and extra mushrooms with creme brulee for dessert. I couldn’t help but laugh when Dan (my boss) ordered a bowl of tomato ketchup and two bowls of chips with his biggest steak (650g) after the waitress tried to persuade him that he wouldn’t be able to eat it all. He did eat it all. Then he ordered two more bowls of chips and another bowl of ketchup, and still had room for pudding.
I decided to copy a questionnaire from Darnielle, in celebration of the new year.
