Happy New Year

As a child I can remember how much we enjoyed the Christmas holidays filled with friends, food and fun.  Not only did we have Christmas to look forward to but also boxing day and New Years, who wouldn't enjoy this time of year.

I've always been a fan of New Year's Eve.  I'm reminded of these great celebrations my mom would have with friends ringing in the New Year.  My sister and I would beg to stay up late dancing with everyone and running into our street right before midnight so we could blow noise makers in celebration of the New Year.  Somehow, as I've gotten older, the idea of driving on New Years Eve stops me from going out.  I tend to stay at home and ring in the New Year on my own.  This year was different and boy was I in for a treat.

My friend and I decided to enjoy the tasting menu at  Madeleine Bistro.  I've eaten there a few times and have never left disappointed.  I was in for an amazing evening of food.

Our first course was scrambled eggs.  These were amazing.  I'm not sure how to explain these but I'm going to give it my best shot.  The "eggs" had an eggs taste to them.  They were light and fluffy.  Unbelievable.  They topped smoked portebellos and rosti potatoes. Sadly my camera wouldn't focus on the first course so the photos are a bit blurry.
