Linguini with a Side of Revolution



New Year's Eve Dinner was Linguini with Clams, Mussels and Shrimp and Lemon, plus a delicious bottle of Il Gioiello white (55% viognier, 45% rousanne).



The sad part was The Great FiveHead wasn't feeling well and had to stay in bed during much of the evening. That meant much more food for PD, Ducknik, B-Bone and Plottie.



Afterwards, everyone watched a most non-New Years-like movie: "District Nine," which is a really gross, gory and fantastic movie about aliens invading Johannesberg. At midnight we went out on the deck to watch the fireworks above the Bay, and then came back to see more gore, guts and goo.

This morning, January 1, 2010, guess what appeared in the garden: the first Shmalifornia Poppy of the year! That has to be a good omen!




Then Che Guevarabella came over for breakfast. Duck made cornbread and Belly wore her bandolier.



Here we go, 2010. May all our revolutionaries look like this one.

Isabella the Bandita looks far to cute to be feared. And last night's looks far to good miss unless you were REALLY sick (which means 5H must have been feeling awful - I hope it doesn't last).

2110? Too many SF films for you. (You did that twice though, so my guess is I'm missing a joke somewhere. Time to do some Googling...)

Brave poppy, that. Best new year wishes to the Konecky household!
