As I reflect back on 2010 I am reminded of the ebbs and flows of the year. There were a lot of good moments; Eli entered the 7th grade and each day upon pick up, I ask him how was school and he responds by saying, “Mom, I love school”, Isaac is learning the violin and found his sport; baseball, and Levi-well Levi is 5. He is partial to art, he helps me in the kitchen, and simply gives the best hugs and kisses of all the men in my house.
As we prepare to bring in the new year and toast to 2011, I will toast to having healthy and happy boys who continue to thrive and grow and become individuals, to M for hanging in there and for always persevering and to me-whom after a three year hiatus, is starting to get back into the working world.
I also, toast all of you, whom continue to support this little blog, a safe place where I can tell you my stories, share my passion for food and most importantly, make new friends. Happy and Healthy New Year to all of you and may all your dreams come true in the coming year!
Happy New Year, Everyone!

Yum! I love sorbet and the fact that champagne is in this dessert makes it the perfect NYE treat. Happy New Year to you and your loved ones!
That is so pretty! And seemingly, divinely perfect for New Years!
Love the sorbet with champagne. Perfect for the holidays. Happy New Year!
Raspberry and champagne sorbet sounds so good! What a great way to roll in the new year! Happy New Year!
Although I’m a bit late for a New Year’s dessert, this sorbet sounds like a nice refreshing change after the heavy richness of all those holiday foods. I absolutely love David Lebovitz’s book The Perfect Scoop and have made so many recipes from it but I guess I never saw this, I will have have to try it, thanks!
Happy new year to you! It is such a good sorbet!
hi kim- happy new year! so glad you are back! have a lovely day! xx
I love this sorbet, although I don’t known whether the champagne would make it into mine before I drink it! I hav just made a blackberry daiquiri sorbet which I will post once I get a chance to photograph it
