Red Shallot Kitchen: Happy New Year 2013! 2012 flew by so fast.
Lots of fun and exciting things happened to us in 2012. A new addition to our family (puppy), summer vacation (Puerto Rico), J's new job, and my short trip to Jakarta to see family and friends. We took bread making classes in San Francisco, watched a couple of touring Broadway shows, and shared some wonderful and memorable meals with family and friends. All in all, 2012 was a great year. So, on this first day of 2013, please allow me to wish you all a joyous and happy new year.
