A New Year

December totally got away from me. I never got to do any of the things I wanted to do for TGK.
Our party was a big success, everyone enjoyed themselves, we had some great wine, I introduced some friends to my favourite Irish Whiskey, and we made a few really yummy cocktail snacks.
Christmas dinner was great, my first ever goose turned out delicious and the prime rib roast was amazing!
New Years was a very quiet night for me, just stayed in, had hot dogs and beer, and one glass of sparkling wine at midnight with my wife. 
Now I am ready to get back into the swing of things. The new kitchen is totally finished and it’s beautiful, I will get pictures up shortly.
I am having a dinner party for my birthday on Jan. 8th. And I have decided to make Beef Wellington, which I have been wanting to make ever since I watched Gordon Ramsey make it on The F-Word. I did a practice run last night. And while I need to work on the appearance of the pastry, and since I was using a frozen store bought puff pastry maybe even change the pastry, I think the flavour was very good. My wife also enjoyed it a lot. So I hope I am ready for the big show on Saturday.
I hope to have a wine review up this week and some of the pictures of the kitchen transition and the beef wellington details. Hopefully this time I can stick to my plan!
