Happy New Year's Eve!

It's New Year's Eve and we're having a party in 6 1/2 hours! Every year (minus the year we went to Tahoe for my brother's 21st birthday) we have my sisters and brother and friend (and whomever else wants to come) come over and eat, drink, and play games like Rock Band and the Great DalMoodi (that's totally not how you spell it but hey! I never claimed to be able to spell....) It's way fun and kick back.

So as of right now, my baby is not sleeping... just chattering away in her crib... and I have done nothing other than go to the store and peel ten hundred potatoes! Okay, okay... not ten hundred.... just 15.... but still! For someone who hates to peel potatoes (which should be EVERYONE!) it felt like way more than 15...

I could not for the life of me decide what to make for our party this year. In previous years we've done mac&cheese, fondue, quesedillas, spaghetti.... but I didn't want to have to do any elaborate shopping...

sooooooo....

I had a 10lb bag of potatoes that I got a safeway not long ago when they were on sale for $0.99. Yes, you read that right - 10lbs of potatoes for $0.99! And then last week I found bacon for $0.99 so potato soup it is!

We'll see how it turns out... I'll be sure to write down what I put in so if it's good, I can post the recipe :)

Off to clean, cook, and bake and here's to a New Year filled with all kinds of fabulous!!!
