I guess if I'm catching up, new years would be the next big event. Well... actually there was a small party at Paul's place where I introduced everyone to the pig project but that's another story for another time. For now lets focus on the night we killed ol Pinchy.Tani and Vince decided to host new years eve this year. Was kind of a combo party/house warming. It was also the night that we decided to test out a series of fire extinguishers for the upcoming Idiotarod. Turns out that fire extinguishers are awesome fun :) Was also kind of an awesome fun night in general. We had tons of food, enough alcohol to subdue a college dorm and the obligatory bag of fireworks. We also had alcoholic pudding!
I'm not kidding here either. This stuff was lethal. The original thought was that it might be a good substitute for jello shots which were worn out at Halloween. Turned out though that alcoholic pudding won't set but instead becomes an amazing liquid concoction kind of like eggnog. Here is the recipe for those brave enough:
- 1 Package Instant Chocolate Fudge pudding mix
- Substitute 1/3 of the water for Vodka
- Substitute 1/3 of the water for Bailey's
- Mix, stash in the freezer, then serve in shot glasses
In addition to the pudding I also brought Pinchy - a lobster from the local grocery store who spent his last few hours on ice in a lunchbox. Its likely that Abbey will hate me forever for cooking him up but man... steak and lobster is the flawlessly decadent way to ring in the new year.
The party ran until about 3am at which point we had all had enough. Props to Tani and Vince on their beautiful new home and backyard, to Jeremy for finally having his first drink or 10, to Abbey for getting wicked drunk and making us all smile and to Kellie and McCoy who both made me feel like I made at least somebodies life better this last year.
