Kodak moment

We were French-american, Korean-american, Israeli-american, Brazilian, Portuguese, Spanish, English. We had chicken noodle soup, asparagus in the oven and a big salad with roasted pine nuts, a selection of smelly cheeses and also foie gras, and tender melting jamon serrano, and pão de queijo, and then we had feijoada brasileira, and penne al pomodoro made by a brit, we had freshly made cannelloni, we had so much and so many different foods that we spent most of the time at the table. And for desert we had a homey chocolate cake topped with strawberries, we had bolo-rei, pastry from Vouzela and also beijinhos de amor that went well with all the kisses that were exchanged at midnight!
It was a multicultural multi-gastronomical dinner party, combining and mixing different traditions until the stroke of midnight. It was then that 2008 arrived, between kisses, friends, raisins and Moet et Chandon. My first New Year's Eve in NY!
