2005-12-31 New Year's Eve

Traditionally, my friends always come over that evening to celebrate it at my house. Normally we eat Raclette, a dinner that is too time-consuming for a day-to-day dinner, but totally OK for New Year's Eve, as waiting for midnight can be quite... boring.

I'm quite famous for blowing food supply at my parties out of all proportions. The left-overs sufficed till the middle of January!

Another tradition: Melting lead over a flame, pouring the hot metal into water, and interpreting the resulting figures which are suppose to symbolize the coming year.
