It happened again. The year on the calendar flipped over to a new number. It has a zero on the end again. Didn't it just have a zero a few years ago? What a difference a decade makes. We were planning for the Y2K (soon to be non) event. I was hedging my bets then, that nothing would happen on that New Years Eve. I didn't even stockpile any food or water. I was on call that night.....just in case the hospitals were overloaded and I had to go in and make sandwiches. Isn't that what we all do when a catastrophe happens.......make sandwiches? We even had battery operated head lights to navigate through the darkened halls. I should have snuck one of those home and took it out and wore it on this New Years Eve! But, I was at the top of a hotel, listening to a great band and dancing like it was 1989.
I try not to make resolutions. Beating myself up for all of the things I don't do is already a hobby of mine and I don't need to add any more ammunition for that battle. I just whisper to myself now and then that I need to watch my inputs and outputs, make sure I am always learning something, and tell the people that share my life how great they are. I think that 2010 will be an awesome year. Even better than 2009, which was stupendous!
The first dessert of 2010 was a recipe from the great dessert blog tartelette. Just browsing through her site is sure to bring a smile to your face, even if you don't attempt the recipes yourself.
Here is my journey through her recipe for Poached Pear and Almond Fallen Souffle Cakes.
Happy New Year!

Oh my God! All I have to say is this looks absolutely scrumptious! And - I have been WAITING for you to write something here! And I was hoping for you to write about your PARTY or your Christmas fare. I love Tartlette, too!
I am so impressed that you are using that oven even in the dead of winter. Would love to know more about building one for our yard
