Happy New Year!

Hi friends! We're camped out on the couch recovering from a super fun NYE with friends, but I thought I'd do a quick post about our food-related NYE festivities. At the party last night, each couple attending chose a country that was the theme of their contribution to the party. We each made a specialty drink and food item from our chosen country. Much to my dismay, since I'm super nosy and all, we weren't allowed to tell each other what we chose. 


Our spread!
I can hardly believe it, but we had a duplicate! Two pairs of Norwegian drinks/foods and one round of Korean food/drink (that was us). Even thought Norway was chosen twice, each couple did something different -- we enjoyed homemade glog and delicious vegetable and cheese toasts, and Norwegian beers in steins and spicy meatballs in a tomato and sauerkraut sauce. P and I had debated a bunch of different countries, but ended up going with Korean food once we found a recipe for a Soju (a Korean alcohol) drink that was called "abominable killer snowman." Decision made. 


I'll post the recipe we used -- we had made it once before, and it turned out great. Happy New Year, all!
