Happy New Year!

As many of you may know, Britney is not a late night person so we tend to celebrate New Year's on January 1st. We have started a tradition of making Aebleskivers (a Danish pancake in the shape of a sphere. They are cooked in a special cast iron pan as pictured below). Steve's family has been making them for years and his sister Debbie gave us a pan when we got married so we enjoy them from time-to-time, but are certain to make them on New Year's Day. They are usually cooked and then coated with powdered sugar and then you can spread jam or honeybutter in the middle--delicious! This year I made a few with sweetened cinamon apples cooked into the center--also delicious (they tasted like a mini apple pie)! Ellie wanted to have a picnic so we made a transportable lunch and enjoyed the lovely wheather in our backyard. We wish you all the best this 2009!
