Well we made it through another year. Hello 2016! Wow, it seems like only yesterday it was 1999 and everyone was having that Y2K freakout over the world ending. Sixteen years later and here I’ve landed in Bear Valley for my New Years weekend. My second year in a row to opt out of the party festivities in the city and hang out with my grandma, lol. Slightly bummed I missed the Flying Lotus show at 1015 but I’ve seen him spin many, many times before. He’s amazing live and I highly recommend his body groovin beats.
I was hoping to get snow up there this year and it happened! My holiday mountain wish had come true. Hilariously enough there was so much snow that we had to shovel the driveway at 9’oclock at night to get the car in the driveway. Powder, powder, powder! The house and trees were covered with snow, naturally we didn’t hesitate to make a snowman. Harlan and I had booked a trip to go to Germany over the holidays but ended up canceling it, unfortunately. So of course, I was ready to eat all the german cuisine I could all weekend. One thing my Grandmother makes is Kraut Bierocks. Bierocks are German pocket rolls filled with cabbage and meat that melt in your mouth. Sometimes I like to add a little sauerkraut on top too. Those, plus a couple glasses of NYE champagne AND going to bed early…count me in!
Happy New Years 2016!
