Lisa looks stunning!

It was a truly beautiful party that had the very pleasing by-product of bringing me out of a rut just in time to fly to New York for a jaunty vacation. Truth and beauty (and laughter)... (and samosas).... the best medicine. Happy new year, all of you terrific swanktastic folks.

I will post my pictures later, but did anyone get a picture of Susan and I?

I'm kinda bummed that I didn't think of getting a photo of each person's amazing outfit, red carpet style.

That would have been great, Chris, next time. :snap:

Everyone looks great! The house looks faaaabulous!!!

I didn't know I had so many friends from Bollywood. ;)

BTW: I think our calculations may be off, but after Chris and I were done cooking, we think we cooked about 9-10 pounds of bacon (although in retrospect, I think it was less than that).

I do know that about a third of it was consumed on the back patio (our bacon cooking zone) before it even got into the house. I know our combined first batch (two pans and one griddle's worth) disappeared about 30 seconds after it hit the holding tray.

We had about 8 pieces leftover - one of which was stolen by Sid who nabbed it and ran off. I blame Susan for introducing him to bacon. He is now a monster.

Thurston is quite the bacon pig himself too.

Whatever you do.... don't ever give him much of it, because the salt irritates their tummies. That lesson was learned with Nala a day after she consumed quite a bit of Christmas ham. Biggest. Mess. Ever. :eek:

Oh, no. No-no-no.

I clicked in here hoping to see that someone had posted <even more> photos of the fabulous swankiness. But no. It was just another bacon story. And not the good kind.
