Cheers.

i feel it’s only appropriate that today is national champagne day. well DUH! it is the one time that people who dont even drink have a little sneaky pete. who doesnt want to have a toast at midnight on new year’s eve? i have my bottle of martini & rossi in the fridge chillin as we speak.

i am sitting here still unsure what this night will have in store and it is bringing to mind the start of this whole journey and what its meant to me. i will begin by saying i am FUCKING GLAD ITS OVER! FUCK.

i know that it was not the EVERY DAY thing that it was originally intended but, i have been pretty fucking good and you gotta admit that when i did miss some…i either made up for it or had a legit excuse. usually.

i also want to say thank you to anyone who has read along the entire time…reebs, damn girl i fucking love you….and those who have only caught some here or there or those who only read ones that i MADE you read because they were for or about you. whatever the reason you have stopped by to try to decipher this crazy gook that goes on in my head…well i really appreciate it. it means alot and i love you guys. i miss the 365 foods friends. their journey ended on october 1. i have missed watching them do SO SUCCESSFULLY what i have tried to do. two completely different takes on the same theme and i learned from both! i hope you guys are having a great holiday season and HAPPY NEW YEAR!

i think back to all the different people that have played along and been involved of the finding, making, eating, enjoying of all the foods in this blog. afterall…that was really the point. was just to experience the day according to what food it was and how it played a role in my day. those of you again…reebs DAMN GINA where would i BE?!?!, big d…my bitch in the kicthen. mama hasn’t ever been taken care of so good. i miss you my boo. cyndi, sharon, justin, angelina, bess, marti, jj, deb, amy, laurie, all the kids and my crew in lalaland. you guys are troopers and thanks for letting me bring weird food to your parties or making it FOR ME! marti…the pumpkin cheesecake invades my dreams.  it these experiences that truly defined this whole thing for me. life is really about experiences and people. i have the best of both. experiences and people in my life. then we added food and boy it was FUN! i am so lucky.

there were also the experiences that i had in different cities. like denver with krista and stacy finding rhubarb pie in JANUARY whaaaaa? jimmy, becky, katie brodie….well eating everything under the sun and calling it a day together on the couches at the house with kittens, come ON! my beautiful family in the U.P. and phoenix. what a great way to eat food and be merry but with you all.

even though 2010 was the most challenging and difficult year of my life i will drink this celebrate just what an amazing year it was. because once again i made it through, with all of you. my friends, family, experiences, memories and so so so many blessings. good bye 2010. good bye (for at least a while) you silly blog. everyone be safe and have a happy new year.

love you

cheers
