Tonight, from San Francisco, I’m raising my glass to one heck of a memorable year.
There have been highs and lows, lots of learning, some tears and plenty of beauty.
Loads of goodies have come out of my oven. Photos have filled the memory of my computer, and silly stories have flowed out onto the Internet.
Here we are at the end and at the beginning. Like a hop, skip and quick restart.
Here’s to Dad’s who make pancakes.
Here’s to history in the works.
Here’s to a big, bright, sweet and happy future.
Happy New Year!

Happy New Year Joy! I just started reading your blog and I am amazed by your beautiful food photos and recipes.
Happy New Year to you! I too toast the past and anticipate the new! I also look forward to continue reading your blog!
Thanks for the recap. Apparently, I missed some things on your blog. I’ve spent the last thirty minutes reading through old posts. Have a great New Year!
I approve of doughnut hunts and many more in 2009. Happy New Year!
Happy new year to you too! Eager to read more new and interesting posts :)
I still haven’t made your apple pie, and I’m sad about that. However, I have a slew of apples waiting to be consumed somehow, AND I have an empty house and an equally empty afternoon to fill. Hmmm… apple pie to bring in the new year? Definitely.
Happy New Year! I’m looking forward to reading more of your posts as they always put a smile on my face.

Isn’t San Francisco gorgeous? I am so glad I can be there in less than 2 hours. I think everyone should see it on a perfect indian summer day. I have enjoyed your baking these past few months that I have been involved in blogging. Be blessed this new year.

Hey! It seems I’m a little late for a happy new year :) however, I did see that you live in San Francisco – me too! I just moved here actually and I have really gotten into baking- it would be great to get a group together and bake sometime. Let me know!
