But alas I am the major cook in this household (which split up on NYE so much for tradition!) and it wasn't going to happen. But bean soup for all tonight!<br /><br />Ciao, wishing you many many book sales and great reviews, catThe Divorced Lady's Companion to Living in Italyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15202093107784073194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-291389383714567128.post-13921359914407160072012-01-05T08:53:28.553-08:002012-01-05T08:53:28.553-08:00Dear Lyra,

Probably for the best, because otherwise I might feel annoyed that all I get when I eat lentils is a minor case of gas.

Very glad I found your blog, sometimes I try to imagine you someplace dry, lots of glittery lights, I'd love some more description of your part of the world.<br /><br />Yeah the voodoo thing, it creeps in.

So I'm happy to report that, once again, catastrophe was averted. We played Guesstures and drank champagne at my sister's house, in slippers and scruffy cardigans, and when midnight rolled around I took my babies home and put them to bed. <br /><br />Here's to 2012, Cat, and to seeing you in print.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-291389383714567128.post-3960807603705940982012-01-01T07:24:50.435-08:002012-01-01T07:24:50.435-08:00Best wishes Wine Gift for a great 2012.
