We had a quiet New Year’s Eve – dinner at Lombardino’s and then went to see Big Eyes. I liked it a lot – and, of course I’m the right age to remember when those big eye kid posters were EVERYWHERE – particularly my pediatrician’s office.
A quiet Eve, followed by a quiet Day. I think this is the first year since 2009 when I have not done a School Woods Brunch. I mean, I guess I could’ve done a Dinner at DebS brunch … but I just didn’t get it together. And I tried inviting a few friends to join us, but that didn’t work out either. Al’s in Chicago, and John and Megan went to Dlux – John said he had to have their spicey sausage sandwich with Siracha aoli. So it was just me and Mark for Hoppin’ John, greens, poached eggs, biscuits, leftover potato cake made from leftover mashed potatoes, and Lora Brody rugelach – but made with my cottage cheese dough, instead of Lora’s cream cheese one.
I went for a walk to the one of the coffee joints over on Monroe, but I had to sit at the high counter along the window, and the two people who squeezed in next to me were too talkative for me to enjoy my book, so I didn’t stay much longer than it took me to finish my coffee. When I got home, I adhered to my New Year’s resolution to do a little yoga everyday – but still felt a little too full from brunch on the prone poses, so it wasn’t quite as healthful feeling as it should have been.
I’m not going to make dinner tonight – we can nibble on cookies and eat leftovers.
