Ringing in the New Year

Our first day of 2007 was pretty low key--we took down the Christmas decorations, did some cleaning, watched some football, and, of course, the Food Network. Their New Year's day programming included a marathon showing of "Throwdown" with Bobby Flay. Tonight we enjoyed one of our favorite meals, pasta bolognese. I think Mike has mastered this recipe so we're ready when Bobby Flay comes to challenge us!
