Happy Anniversary, Shelby! I have friends who got married on New Year's Eve and have always thought it was a great choice.

Good question. I'm still thinking about it. My house guests have invited a group for football watching on New Year's Eve afternoon and another group for dinner. Munchies have been arranged for the afternoon. The guests bought 8 lobster tails from Costco, 8 baking potatoes and champagne for dinner. I am apparently responsible for the cocktails and apps, salad, sides and dessert. I'm thinking batched Manhattans, bruschetta with swiss chard and smoked trout plus various nuts to nibble. Beet, satsuma mandarin and blue cheese salad and roasted asparagus to go with the lobster. Not sure about dessert. Maybe just small scoops of vanilla ice cream and lemon sorbet with a pour of limoncello. I'm a little worried that the afternoon football people will think they are invited for dinner and with that menu, it's not going to be easy to stretch things!
New Year's Day brunch will be spinach/mushroom/onion quiche, fresh fruit, TJ's croissants, bacon, sausages and champagne cocktails.
If anyone is hungry later, there will be grilled ham & cheese sandwiches, various pickles and plenty of ham bone soup.
