Due to me working on Christmas Eve our traditional international party was moved to New Year's Eve. We went with Italian food this year. And oh what a feast we had.
These 4 made it to midnight (okay, Arabella was awakened just a few minutes before and fell asleep promptly after this picture was taken). Jon was so sad that he did not make it to midnight, nor would he wake up when we tried to rouse him.
Part of our feast included eating eel. It was good! In Italy, they traditionally eat a very large eel. We had trouble finding eel but finally found these small ones at an Asian market and cooked them up.
Other parts of our feast included: spaghetti and meatballs, mozzarella sticks, shrimp scampi, manicotti, bruschetta, caprese salad skewers, garlic bread (out of homemade French bread), chicken alfredo, a penne pasta dish, egg plant parmesan, chicken gnocchi soup, biscotti, italian cream cake, and cookies. We ate italian food for a week.

Wow! That is a lot of food! It all sounds delish, except for the eel. Not so sure about that. ;)
