Here's the beginning.Unfortunately I don't have pictures of the final product. But then I would say the final product of the evening was a Tuxedo cake being consumed by six of us, washed down with Nant single malt from Tasmania. The table was filled with 5 bottles of scotch so we could all do some tasting. And the table glowed with reflections from candles and the glass bottles. Good friends, food, and toasts to more neighborhood meals. Never made it to midnight, barely made it to 10:30. But we were all full and happy.
We greeted the new year in our usual way by making our way to Berkeley to buy calendars. All calendars are now in place and we are ready for 2012.
