Happy New Year! I hope everyone had a great week ringing in 2013, I know we did. As I mentioned last week, we went to a closing party for a local restaurant, which did not disappoint. Tickets were price at $40, which was about average based on what other locations around the city were charging, but the food was amazing. Touted as ‘light appetizers and passed canapés, it was nothing short of a full on all you can eat seafood buffet. We got there early enough that CF was able to eat her fill of crab claws, prawns, lobster and mussels. My personal favorite was the chef station where he was grilling up pan seared sea bass with red chili lentils. To top it all off , there was also a white and dark chocolate fondue station and other goodies. My mouth is watering just thinking about it.

As far as 2013 goes, I’m not too keen on setting firm resolutions. I tried last year and am always disappointed when I inevitably start slipping in February. Rather than focus on making wholesale changes, I’m trying to remember that every day you have the choice to be your own person. If I can look back on the day and be happy with the choices I made, then I think I’ve been successful.
