Ring in the New Year at PF's Party!

[Moonbear]

I'll definitely be around tonight. I ALMOST had some plans, but then saw the weather forecast. Freezing rain and snow starting around 10 PM, with icing of roads predicted. No way I'm going anywhere with ice and drunk drivers in the forecast...bad combination. I feel bad for the EMS and ER workers tonight. Aside from the usual drinking related accidents, they're going to have to deal with the sober drivers crashing on icy roads too. It's supposed to last well into tomorrow morning, so even if I planned to stay at someone else's house for the night, it will still be a mess to get home even tomorrow.

So, I'll be watching for the round-the-world New Year's wishes online instead.

And Happy New Year to those already celebrating.

I just finished cleaning the driveway of a couple of inches of snow. We may have more tonight. We usually stay in New Year's Eve. Tonight we'll do Indian takeout - we got tired of turkey and ham.

Tomorrow we'll probably do some kind of chili, which should go well with black-eyed peas.

 

[Evo]

I got my black Eyed peas and collard greens for tomorrow!

Looks like we should have a fun crowd tonight! Glad you're coming over MB.

I'm making spinach and artichoke dip.

We're looking at snow for all weekend, and depending on the storm-track, it could turn into a classic nor'easter. It's already snowing steadily.

 

[turbo]

My wife made apple-muffins with walnuts, and a big batch of caramel-corn with peanuts for the neighbor's grand-children. I dropped in on Chat and drizzle was there for a bit. Too quiet now.

 

[Evo]

Yay, the snow is going to keep a lot of people in. I guess I'll double my artichoke dip.

 

[Moonbear]

I'm making shrimp, but haven't decided yet if I want to batter and deep fry them (I add lots of yummy spices to the batter), just boil them and serve with a cocktail sauce, or do up a scampi. I have the fixin's to do any of those.

Yes, yes and yes! I want traditional tartar sauce with the fried ones.

Could you save a little for me to try. What are you having? I just recently tried an Indian restaurant. However I'm not tired of my Honey Roast ham.

Tonight, we had home-cooked South-Asian eat-in; just finished palak gosht (something like spinach chicken curry) and roti.

What are oilballs?

I'll be into the party soon. I'm having my dinner now. I opted for shrimp with a spicy tempura style batter, french fries, and a horseradish sauce that I've touched up with some chipotle pepper. Cracked open the bottle of sake I got for Christmas from the Japanese restaurant where my boyfriend and I eat (the restaurant gives them as gifts to their most loyal customers...he's there a lot with clients...and since he can go in and get good sake anytime, he gave the bottle to me to take home).

 

[lisab]

I'm still at work...waaaah ...but I'll join in a few hours!

 

[Andre]

Have some oliebollen Lisa and appelflappen, we still have them at the party.

Lesson 1, string theory: no points in space, only Planck lengths/areas/volumes. Lesson 2: a calabicle (as I call them) at every point in space. Is this inadequate language, or confused thinking, or what am I missing?

 

[Jimmy Snyder]

no points in space

every point in space

This is inadequate language.

64 minutes left for me, it's still 2009 here.

Happy New Year/Decade!

 

[Moonbear]

The party is still going on! For you left coasters, I'm still awake to join you for your New Year too if you get into chat with us!

 

[GeorginaS]

Awww. I thought this party was going to continue into the afternoon on New Years' Day. I had a lovely evening out. Happy New Year and new decade, everyone!

 

[Astronuc]

Still going!

Greg, thanks so much for opening chat for New Years...when it was 10 minutes before midnight CST and the room flooded with PFers wondering how the heck the ended up there, it was hilarious !

(For PFers who were not on then - Greg *closed* the Forums and re-directed everyone into the chat room...what a riot!)

What happened to "What happens in chat, stays in chat!"?

It was a fun night in chat. I didn't end up snowed in as promised though. The snow that was supposed to END by noon today only started around noon today. I COULD have gone out. (Of course, as Evo pointed out, if I HAD gone out, we'd have probably gotten a foot of snow and I'd be stranded somewhere.)

No hangover today, and was awake by 10:30 in spite of staying up so late.
