I'm so ready for this year to be the new beginning I never knew I needed... for family to set out into new horizons... for new awareness of the world around me and, hopefully, newfound rounds of tennis once again.

I miss you, tennis, more than words can say here on this blog. *sniff*

Cooked up all kinds of goodness to ring in 2018 including Crab Rangoon, Wontons, Bruschetta, Italian Pigs in Blankets, and Stuffed Mushrooms. Not pictured: Korean Beef Lollipops - except without lollipop stick skewers due to the lack of beef skewer volunteers. Everything was absolutely scrumptious and with tons of leftovers to snack on for the next couple of days, if it even lasts that long.  Best. Tradition. Ever.
