I'm making cookies and a fancy dinner with a friend and her housemate. Then we're having lots of wine, and homemade blueberry booze for a midnight toast.

I've spent the weekend reading bits from Politics and Pot Roast, which is a fabulous book about Presidents, their First Ladys, and the food they ate and entertaining they did. (Not all in the White House, of course.) Such fun, let me tell you.

Assuming you aren't going to take on douchebaggery for New Years, what are your plans?
