I believe I promised everybody yesterday that I’d post the working draft of my New Year’s dinner. I feel a bit ambivalent about it as it sort of ruins the surprise, but hey, a promise is a promise.
Here then, as promised, is the working draft of my 2013 New Year’s Dinner. Presented for your enjoyment in Helvetica typeface. Some dishes are still under heavy development, but I’m reasonably sure I’ll get everything done on time. I’m starting to get excited about this project despite, for the first time ever, not using beef as a key player in my main course.
