Goodbye 2006, Hello 2007!

Happy New Year message from Milk and Cookies (Carrot Cake Cookie Sandwich)

Wow! What a year!

It’s been a year of adventure, and a year of challenge,
a year of great joy and achievement; a year of sorrow and mourning.

A year of weddings,
a year of birthdays,
a year of newborn babies.

Mountains and valleys,
exhilaration and despair.
Rough seas, and torturous blows
have shaken us to the core,
but we are still standing.

A year of blessing, a year of opportunity.
A year of great favour,
A year of grace.

Friendships were made,
bonds were cemented
Memories were made,
etched into eternity,
never to be forgotten.

It’s been one heck of a year,
Let’s do it all again, Bring on 2007!!

2006 is the year I started this blog, so it will always go down in history as the year I decided to step out of my comfort zone and embark on something new and foreign. As I tip toe, and feel my way through this venture called food blogging, I know I will stumble upon more and more unlikely surprises. I can't wait.

Above, is a little taste of what has been happening in my kitchen. Look out for it in 2007!

I wish you and your loved ones a safe and Happy New Year!!

Love Jen xxx
