New Year’s Eve in Fairview

I made plans to document the whole day yesterday. It was going to be the last day of the year and I wanted to take photos of our preparations for our Media Noche. It started well enough when we woke up to a beautiful morning. One that was made for a breakfast of Grilled Cheese French Toast and bacon.

Afterwards, we did a little sprucing up around the house.

Then we started our preps. First on my list was Potato Salad, a wonderful side dish for the Hickory Baby Back Ribs that my mother-in-law was going to cook.

Then I made Onion, Chorizo and Cheese Dip which was quite a hit.  (I will share the recipe with you in another post.)

Unfortunately, this is where my little project ends.  By late afternoon, I was too busy to take pictures.  And when I finally remembered my camera, it was too dark to shoot anything. Let me assure you, though, that we had a simple yet very tasty spread. A wonderful dinner shared with our loved ones was indeed the  perfect ending to a wonderful year.

Here’s to a happy new year, everyone!
