The Best Laid Plans in the New Year

          On the last day of the year, as I was walking to the Bakery, on my way to my studio, I came upon a glorious sun rise...thought I'd share it, though the photo pales in comparison to actually being there.
          The plan for the day was to make my father's recipe of egg nog...I had hoped to be undeterred by the unexpected morning roto-rooting the plumbing stopped up by tree roots in the front yard - happens about every five years or so but now it seems my partner in egg nog making - my son Daniel - has come down with a stomach bug so we'll wait until next year...for those who may want to see the recipe,  you can follow the link http://atgbobatthebakery.blogspot.com/2011/12/christmas-day-nog-blog-continued.html  
          My hope, inspired by Doug and Michael at Evergrain was to make a coffee flavored egg nog...perhaps if there are others out there who find the idea intriguing we can have an egg nog making event in 2013...something to look forward to...now that we are in free fall...having gone over the "cliff."
          Here's wishing us all a safe and healthy new year and if it's not too much to ask, a year that brings us peace of mind, plenty of work and a chance to move forward.
