Our usual plan to ring in the New Year is to get together with my sister and her young family. We play cards, drink sparkling cider and munch the night away. This year, plans may change at the last-minute. We won’t know the plans for New Year’s Eve until the evening before. So we are on standby mode.

Pâté de Foies de Volaille au Cassis
Doesn’t the title of this recipe sound wonderful? Everything in French sounds sinfully delicious. What does it mean in English? Pâté of Chicken Liver with Black Currant. And since today is National Pâté Day, it is only fitting that I share this wonderful recipe with you. It’s one I picked up from my favorite French Food Site, The Everyday French Chef. The recipes are simple and yet true to their very French roots.

Recently, my baby sister invited Hubby, Kiddo and I to her home for an evening of Liar’s Dice. She was making a big pot of Spaghetti, bread and a salad. I wanted to bring something keeping with her Italian supper theme. If you haven’t noticed by now, let me clue you in – when invited to a party I always offer to bring a little something, and then go a little nuts.

Celebrate National Caviar Day with Pasta Amnesia
If ever there was a day made for celebration, it’s got to be National Caviar Day. After all, fancy caviar and celebrations just go hand in hand, right?

Did you know that July 18th is National Caviar Day? It is – and I could not be more thrilled. National Caviar Day is as good an excuse as any to eat caviar. These tasty potatoes are similar to a twice baked potato, since they are hollowed out, the pulp whipped nicely, then stuffed back into their jackets and baked again. There you go – little two-bite twice-baked new potatoes, how delightful! Add a little dollop of sour cream and a little caviar – now we are talking indulgent! I love these fancy potato bites.
The Deviled Egg You Say!
What is it about Deviled Eggs that makes them so popular? I have yet to attend a gathering (office potluck, family gatherings, any social gathering with food) that the Deviled Egg in some form doesn’t make an appearance. Perhaps it’s the versatility of the Deviled Egg – the personal touches that makes each platter as individual as the creator. With an eye to detail, even store-bought deviled eggs can be transformed from ordinary to extraordinary. Just as there are countless ways to make the deviled egg, there are a multitude of platters whose sole purpose is to serve those eggs in style.
