To the Wire

Well, my job is done - as you can see, the dining room
is all decoratedfor the grand
New Year's Eve celebration, slated to begin in just 90 minutes.
Whew, I'm exhausted...

Meanwhile, what has that kitchen crew been up to?
Wow, people have been working really, really hard
today to have this entirely new menu ready by 5:30!

Shallots wait to get roasted.

Potatoes wait to get filled with oysters and bacon.

First the oysters...

...then the rest is folded in and will eventually
be baked in their Idaho boat.

Chris and Angie are making the dauphine potatoes.

It's a real production line.

What a great crew!
Front row, we have Angie, Megan, Chris and Kevin.
Back row, Erika, Kevin, LaVonte and John.
Thanks everyone!

Next year we'll see how it all came out!
Meanwhile, here's wishing us all a Happy and Healthy 2010!
