For Auld Lang Syne

As the world wraps up 2011 in words, photos, and reflections, I too, want to share a few of my thoughts.

Oh, 2011. Even the idea of putting some of the year's highlights into a paragraph is daunting. So instead, I'll do an equally challenging task of summarizing it into one word, and that word, my friends, will have to be: eventful.

For both the world and myself personally, 2011 was full of surprises, victories, losses, good news, tragedies, discoveries, and mistakes. It seems like one huge blur, despite my extra efforts to catalog the special moments and now, memories. But overall, the sentiments are good and I can honestly say that 2011 was better than 2010.  And I wish with all my heart that 2012 will be even better and greater. {Care more, dream more, risk more, work more}

As far as my love for food and this little food blog goes, I didn't churn out nearly as many entries as I wanted to, but I promise to spend the final week of my final "winter vacation" (ever?) to bring ya'll up to speed on all the delicious ways the latter part of 2011 was good to me.

And on that note, I end with this message from two darling folks:



Whatever you end up doing, please be happy and safe!

Thank you for visiting and reading. See you in 2012. I wish you all the best! Cheers!
