day 1039 - new year's dinner set up

after two weeks of harried holiday  schedules partner and i finally got to sit down and have a relaxing dinner. and for the first time, we got to enjoy the newly-made napkins, the ones with mitred corners. when you have good china and eat good food, you must have cloth napkins, and yes, with mitred corners. yay!

day 669 - fine herb-crusted atlantic halibut

my entree of choice during tonight's firm Christmas party at the Ritz-Carlton hotel. if you notice, i had a bite already before i took this photo. tsk! tsk! i see food and i forget everything else. i like it!
