We like to spend a quiet New Year’s Eve at home where we stay warm as snow falls over the town. This year, I made a not-very-sweet Italian cake with dry red wine and finely grated dark chocolate from the January/February 2013 issue of La Cucina Italiana magazine.
I topped it off with fresh whipped cream and toasted almonds. I shared a piece with our neighbor who responded with a bottle of red wine from his family’s vineyard. I can’t think of a better way to ring in 2013 than with good friends, good wine and good food.
Wishing you a Happy New Year infused with your heart’s desire throughout 2013!

Love the sweets you share. It’s much safer for me to only see them, I trust your descriptions on taste! Hope your year is full of many sweets – multi-media delights.
Thank you for your kind words. Now you see why I give so much of my baked goods away! Actually, while I love sampling them, I love making them even more :)
Happy New Year!
Thanks! Happy New Year to you too :)
Thank you for the wonderful New Years deliciousness. The treasures you share with us are amazing.
Thanks for stopping by. I’m sorry I can only share them virtually here! Happy New Year!
Happy New Year! How’s the painting coming along? It’s been a slow year for me on painting but I’m looking for a watercolor class for this next month or in Feb. If you hear of one, let me know and maybe we could both go and visit while we’re there. OK? Ramona
What a terrific New Year surprise to hear from you! Happy New Year! I’ll write/call you tonight/tomorrow :) So happy to hear from you!
