new year's eve

for new year's eve, we were visited our "camp" where we used to rent before gobble hill. it was a potluck dinner with many friends. along with the constant snow, there was plenty of wine, roasted pork loin, tuna casserole, carrot soup, green pozole and jalapeño cornbread, eggplant-mushroom stew over rice, cranberry upside down cake, chocolate cake with ganache, and homemade chocolate chip cookies. of course, buster made sure to feel an equal member at the table. afterwards, we went to the back farm fields, launched fireworks and sparklers, and threw some snowballs. long after midnight, buster looked at us wondering when he could go to bed.
