Happy New Year!

[jaybee65]

Happy new year everyone! I'm off to buy some wine for a New Years Eve party where they promise to serve enchiladas with homemade mole sauce flown up all the way from Mexico City. Seeing as mole is possibly my favorite food ever, this should be an auspicious start to 2011.

I hope you all have a wonderful celebration!

Oh, mole! You lucky girl.

Do you ever make your own, or do you depend on the kindness of others?

Happy New Year to you as well -- here's to more employment for us all in the new year!

Oh, good Lord, I would never be up for the effort required to make decent homemade mole! So I have to score invitations to dinner or head out to a restaurant to satisfy that craving!

Thanks for the New Years wishes - I'll definitely toast to that!

I must know - how was the food? *drools*

Happy New Year to you, my dear friend.

The food was yummy! And as there were several guests from Spain in attendance, I got to partake in one of their New Years traditions as well, which involves stuffing your face with grapes (one for each stroke of midnight) for luck. I couldn't swallow fast enough and wound up with the chipmunk look, LOL.

Oh, nice!

You know, this is the second time I've heard about that 'twelve grapes' tradition in two days, lol! I'd never heard of it before. How big were those grapes?

I have no idea what mole sauce is, but it sounds pretty awesome. Happy New Year!

[jaybee65]

Strictly speaking it's called mole poblano, and it's a savory sauce made from, among other ingredients, hot peppers and chocolate. It's about my favorite thing in the world!! Mmmmmmmmm. *Drools*

Oh my god, that sounds amazing. I am now working on getting myself invited to a Mexican party next NYE!

Happy belated New Year! How was the food? ;)

The food was delish! As were the drinks. Got home at 3am and slept most of the day. ;-)
