I had a really mellow New Year's Eve this year. A couple of friends came over for cheese fondue (with roasted potatoes, sausage, brussels sprouts and broccolini, in addition to the tradition bread cubes, for dipping) before the early They Might Be Giants show at Philly's TLA. Afterwards, we came back and ate vanilla ice cream drizzled with Kahlua. Of course, there was some bubbly to toast 2009.

How did the rest of you celebrate? Did you eat our or make a special meal at home? Do you have New Year's Eve traditions?

We celebrated at home, for the first time in years, with a couple we've gotten to know through my twice-weekly knitting group. I made potato, leek, and celery soup, and she brought shortbread cookies, and after a viewing of Dirty Rotten Scoundrels (my friend had never seen it before) we toasted the New Year with sparkling cider. What a wonderful, quiet, entertaining night!

I spent the afternoon teaching a friend to cook her favorite meal - pot roast with vegetables. She's not much of a cook because she's apprehensive in the kitchen, but watching me cook it while narrating what I was doing and taking copious notes and pictures really made her more confident. Followed that with roasted broccoli with her favorite dip (chipotle mayonnaise). We had dinner, began the Mad Men marathon and then watched the ball drop in NYC with a great prosecco.

Fulfilled a yearly tradition of going to my Uncle's house (with the rest of my immediate family). He and and my aunt are, for lack of a better word, total wine snobs so we ended up eating dinner with a bottle of Margaux and toasting the new year with Cristal.
