Happy New Year’s Eve, pal! I took a little (well, pretty long) hiatus from blogging but I plan to be back with a vengeance in 2012. I wasn’t away for any particular reason…just got caught up in real life. You know how it goes. 2011 was another fabulous year in Los Angeles but I am really looking forward to 2012, especially because I think this is the year the Dodgers will dominate in the playoffs!
If you are looking for a quick treat to whip up for whatever New Year’s festivities you may have on tap tonight, I highly recommend these rum balls that I have made many times this holiday season. The recipe comes from this book but I saw it on Spabettie’s blog. I replaced the bourbon with rum and the honey with agave nectar.
These are very boozey so be alert–if you don’t want a super rum-y taste, you should cut back on the amount of liquor a tad. I sent a tin of these with my friends going to a 49ers game and they were devoured at the tail gate.
Happy New Years from me and the pup! See you in 2012!



Hey sometimes you need to get away from the computer. Live your life. If you don’t live your life then you’ll have nothing to share.
