We are planning a small "New Year's Eve"/"Mr. Urban Turns 3X" celebration with family tomorrow night.
I thought of having everyone over for deserts and cocktails, as a nice sugar rush is bound to pull us through to midnight.
On the Menu: Caramelized Hazelnut Chocolate Mousse Chocolate Cake from Butter Sugar Flour.
Barefoot Contessa's [amazing] wine poached fruits with an assortment of single serving Haggen Dazs ice creams.
French Cheese Board.
Fresh Black Berries and French Dark Chocolate Truffles.
And as a tribute to 2011, French 76 Cocktails, Mr. Urban and my favorite cocktail find of 2011, Merci Absinthe! 1/2 oz fresh lemon juice, 1 oz gin, 1/2 oz Cointreau, and a dash of sugar syrup shaken over ice, poured into a Champagne flute, and topped with chilled Champagne. Garnished with a twist of lemon.
Cheers!
And how are you planning on giving thanks for the last 365 days (or else rebooting & restarting)?
Wishing you peace of mind, happy hearts, and lots of delicious goodies.
Much Love,
The UrbanGirl Mommy
