Well, on a rather spontaneous note, my family has decided to cancel our trip to Montreal on the 28th and head over to New York City tomorrow morning instead! I’d much rather go to NYC so I’m quite happy actually.

The four of us, including my brother’s gf will be driving down there for three days in which my dad hopes to eat nothing but good food. This trip is more of an eating trip than anything else as my dad’s only wish is to eat good food. Forget the sightseeing, forget the broadway plays, forget Times Square, it’s all about the good food.

So in the last minute, we have decided to go to NYC without even having a place to stay. Hopefully the weather will be nice for the drive there. I’m not quite worried though since we have 3 willing drivers amongts the 5 of us anyway.

I’ll be back in Toronto on the night of the 29th so I will still partake in any festivities that may arise here in Toronto for the New Years.

Until then, I hope you all had a great Christmas and have a great week everyone! Take good care of yourselves.

See you in a few days!

I’ve been neglecting my blog as of late but that doesn’t mean I’m not doing anything. I’ve been fairly busy these past few days as well. Seeing as this is the Christmas rush, many things are going on all at once, as I am sure you all know as well.

I wonder who actually reads this during Christmas season. Probably not too many. hehe…

We had a potluck lunch party today at work. The amount of food we had was enormous. So many people brought in so much food it was just way too much for all of us! And to think they do this every year too!

The company bought 18 boxes of pizza! And in each box, there’s two full sized pizza’s! That’s just nuts. I had my 4 slices – which was a lot more than what I usually eat – and in addition I had to try out the various other dishes that were brought in from everyone else. I didn’t actually bring anything today as this potluck slipped my mind.

I just finished making my first batch of chocolate truffles tonight. I’m not sure how they will turn out but hopefully they will be just as good as last year’s. It was a big hit last year so I’m trying my luck again this year. Only thing is, I found it a little more difficult to make it this year. I’m not quite sure why though.

Feel free to view my Flickr account for some tasty pictures of my truffles.

On another note, I will soon be redesigning my website for the new year. This is in anticipation of me getting my new digital camera. Now that I will be getting a dSLR, I will be able to take more spur of the moment shots and upload more photos on my site. I hope to make my site a little more interesting for people to come to.

2006 will be a new era for Smaku’s World. Stay tuned.
