Welcoming the new year with food bingeing–and weight loss...
...New Year's eve at Tali beach was mesmerizing. We dined al fresco. Tonichi, my interior designer par excellence brother-in-law had an impressive table setup of fine linen, crystals, silver and more than two dozen candles in front of the pool. The panoramic view of the ocean, the sound of the surf, the waves, and the bright crescent moon shining its light on the sea was absolutely spellbinding. With a cool breeze carrying mellow Christmas tunes and the people you care for most on this earth with you, what else can beat that?
Our menu consisted of pica-pica food, such as olives stuffed with chorizo, olives stuffed with anchovies, Hamon Serrano, caviar pie, a variety of Spanish cold cuts, and bottles of good red and white wine.
For main, we had toasted chorizo from Terry’s and authentic Spanish Fabada, or baked beans, which were simply outstanding with French bread. There was an assortment of cheeses and grapes, apples and oranges.
Dining outdoors allowed us a front-seat view as we watched two homes from the village exchange a spectacular show of dazzling fireworks that lasted until the wee hours of the morning. At the stroke of midnight, a bottle of champagne popped! Welcome 2012!
My daughter Ali summoning the moon and it's phosphorescence to complete the mood.
