Oh yes, it's that time of year again. You know, the last meal before we impose starvation on ourselves. That's right, I am ranting about New Year's Eve and the "resolutions" the new year brings.This year, I vow to "lose".....all the toxic people from my life. My good friend "K" and "C" know exactly of whom I speak of. And I plan on "losing" this toxic person in style.
I am thinking of having a glamorous New Year's Eve party with endless glasses champagne and fabulous eats. I will toast the New Year to being "toxic free."
I am pondering ...traditional champagne for our aperitifs and rose champagne for desserts. Which means a cheese platter with homemade crackers is order. These lovely pear wafers aren't exactly "crackers" but they add the "glamor" I am looking for.
The crisp pear wafers are stunning on there own and with a little blue cheese on top they are divine. The best part about the wafers is that they require hardly any effort.
As I look forward to the New Year, I hope it will bring me one year closer to finishing school, one year closer to moving home, one year closer to meeting "K", and one year closer to everything that life has to offer.
Happy New Year dear friends!!! May the New Year bring you closer to the "goals" you are working towards.

Ooo those pear wafers look good. I'll have to try that. Happy early new year! Now I'm thinking I want to go out and buy some yummy cheeses and eat them with crackers on New Years too. =)
These look gorgeous! I'll have to try this with the Seckel pears I bought yesterday.
These are darling. Delicate and classy. Great for New Year's for sure. I hope your cleanse works out for you! Happy New Year!
Wow, those look amazing! I would have never thought of that. Thanks so much for sharing! DELICIOUS.
Those pears are gorgeous!
I've stopped making New Years resolutions because I'm not good at sticking to them, but I envy people who make them and succeed.
Wow, those look sooo pretty! They're a beautiful garnish that has a purpose, I love it!
Looks stunning and so elegant. I'd love these with some blue cheese.
pear wafers...yum yum ...same as pear crisps lol they are stupendous...incredible and edible enough to make me water from my mouth just looking in...the question is ...why wasn't I invited...lol
These are beautiful! Wow. Must try them out.
Never heard the term "toxic people" before. Really do get it though. Hope you're free of them.
:( Mine turned out all soggy and WAY too sweet. I'll probably try it again sans the sugar; maybe just a slight sprinkle of brown.
