Our year 2010 started at our dear friends' house. They invited families and friends for a new year's day brunch (they call this annual event 'First Footing' http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First-Foot ).
新年明けましておめでとうございます。
今年の元旦も私達の大好きな友人Mr.&Mrs. Sのお宅のNew Year's Dayブランチに呼んでいただきました。They live in a beautiful log home...Their Christmas decoration is very charming and tasteful as well.
とっても素敵なお宅で、クリスマスの飾りつけも素晴らしく気合が入っています。
Mr.S (I love his apron, by the way) is in charge of the kitchen. He is cooking egg's benedict, ham and potatoes on the skillet. It was so delicious that Ladybug had to have seconds.
Mr. S (前掛けがお茶目です)が台所を仕切っています。お客さん一人一人にエッグス・ベネディクト、ハム、ポテトが熱々で振舞われます。とてもおいしくて、私はお代わりをいただきました。
30人近くも人がいたでしょうか。ブランチが済んだあとも1日中食べ、飲み、おしゃべりやゲームをして、真夜中までパーティは続いたようです。
一体何本のシャンペンが開けられたでしょうか。女性陣はミモザ(オレンジジュースとシャンペンのカクテル) がお気に入り。
Boys liked Black Velvet (beer cocktail made from guiness beer and champagne).
一方男性陣にはブラック・ベルベット(ギネスビールのカクテル)が人気でした。
What fabulous photos! They make you feel like you are right there enjoying the day. I hope you remind me now and again when you have posted more photos. The mushrooms are super and now I need to study more about the difference between good ones and the others... Ha! Ha! DS
ReplyDeleteOh,Hi! Is it you, Mrs.S?
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for hosting us. We always have such a wonderful time with you two.
Let's go look for mushrooms when it becomes a little warmer.
Hugs,
Ladybug
Or are you Mrs.S's daughter in Morocco? After I posted my comment, I realized you two have the same initials. In any case, I love hearing from you :)
ReplyDeleteI think that was mom, she's known to use the word 'super' on a pretty regular basis. The photos are great and we had a nice time. But what? No photos of those eggs dad and I worked so hard preparing all morning? lol
ReplyDeleteOh, I know...Gomennasai!!! They were so good that all we could think of doing was to wolf them down...I even had the seconds!!!
