Although I have trepidation about the coming year, I'm going to keep a positive attitude for now. Wishing a great year for our Head - Case family! Even Brent. 🙂 Easy on the biscuits for 2025 though B.

Also going to Casa Bedecarre. This one for New Years friends and guests. My first Coffee Cheesecake. It looks quite dark on top, but smells fantastic. Not sure if the coffee has something to do with the color.

Cheers HC Team - HNY

Whatever your current mood hope you have a decent New Year’s Eve and Day.

Happy new year smoked pork belly x3 y'all..

Last night Sophie and I made some pork belly mushroom chive dumplings and ginger scallion pork pot stickers. It's pretty labor intensive but they both turned out great, didn't fall apart, and were quite tasty with dipping sauce and chili crisp. We made a batch for my sister and niece next door who have covid together for a third holiday season, so I was very hungry and didn't take time for glamor shots or even as plated.

swt61, Those cheesecakes look AMAZING!!! I bake once a year these days. Cookies for the folks on my block. This year I went with white chocolate macadamia. I baked some proper looking "cakey" ones, but the ones that really sold looked like this...I kept the dough less cold before putting them on the pan. Folks like the more caramelized edges I'm guessing. HS

Aja is a masterpiece. Before you listen to it, make sure to check this out, if you haven't already.

Covid is no joke. My mother is in her 80s and frail. I'm 50 and ...sturdy. She went to the ER and got prescribed Paxlovid. It appears to help, but some of the side effects are a bit rough. I'm fully vaxed and in fact recently boosted. I'm no longer feverish, but far from well. I suspect this is a new strain that has yet to be named (remember the ominous sounding Omicron Variant?) Also the heating system is still not fixed, but after my mother went to the ER I opened the mechanical closet and yelled at it. Then I turned it off and on again and it's been making heat since. In the 40K universe I'd be a tech priest.

Happy New year!

Happy New Year! 🎆

Happy New Year, HeadCase! 🍾

Yup - long time Rick subscriber.

We have frozen leftovers and ran out of wrappers so we need to make some more soon. 😅

Moontan by Golden Earring (1974) https://album.link/i/81668043 Example: Another band that I know by name and two songs. My bad, I would have had these on my playlists a long time ago. There is a lot for me here. Great jams, 9+minute songs. Classic guitar sound. Now that I know, I shan't forget.

Sounds fricken delicous, Al.

Watched mainly for the sound.

Almost bought one, did a bunch of research, if I was going to it'd be a Primo. https://www.primogrill.com
