Captain America, white chocolate ganache style : What's the point of being a reliable adult 360-odd days a year if on New Year's Day you can't just say, "Why the hell not, kid? Let's make a Captain America cake!" (Happy new year, and thanks for reading!) (posted Jan 1, 11:29pm)

The Mighty Kymm: The Livejournal Years by Kymm Zuckert (13)

Stuffing and pie : Here it is, the first of January! After almost two weeks of staying in other people's houses, I'm back to my own home. Frankly, I prefer staying at other people's houses--lovely big beds, DVRs, showers, washer/dryers, dogs, it's great! However, home is home, even without all of the nice comforts, so it's nice to be here, too. Relatively. (posted Jan 1, 10:48pm)

Girl in Gotham by imp (32)

A new day... : A lazy New Year’s Day, sort of. Up early and then read for a while before falling back to sleep until about 11:30am. Spoke to my sister and then up and hanging out doing a lot of nothing today with Gen. Somewhere about 2pm I started making zucchini pancakes — my mom’s recipe — and one of my favorite holiday ...

Resolved -- 01/01/13 : This is the start of the New Year, the time when so many people think up New Year's Resolutions, so many of which will not be kept. Thus, some would say that it is foolish to make such resolutions, but I think it is good to have plans and hopes and aspirations. Sure, you can resolve to do something at ... (posted Jan 1, 8:30pm)

baldy hill homestead by Rachel (21)

eating the year lucky : In our corner of Pennsylvania, the traditional New Year’s Day dinner is slow-cooked pork served with sauerkraut and mashed potatoes. Locals believe a bowl of this will grant a year full of health, wealth, and good luck. Since moving here, James has embraced the tradition, but as a vegetarian, I need to look beyond the PA Dutch. Hence, the above ... (posted Jan 1, 4:26pm)

The Visible Woman by Linda Ball (32)

Follow the Rules! : The crossword was in honor of the Emancipation Proclamation but also managed to include the word 'dementia' which struck me as funny because every time I complete a puzzle I'm doing a little brain dance to prove that I haven't succumbed to it. (posted Jan 1, 3:12pm)

Sudden Silence by Wendy Kast (22)

The Year of Pie Crust : It was a shining example of how truly bad a pie crust could be. We could barely cut through it with a knife, much less a fork. You had to vigorously chomp down and tear the crust like a wild animal just to get a bite. It was bad. (posted Jan 1, 2:24pm)

Welcome To 2013 / 101 : Eat more of those cupcakes with two inches of frosting on the top. Do you know some are garnished with bacon and others taste like root beer? Enjoy yourself a little. Oh and here’s an idea: share one. God knows those things are big enough for two. The last one I had was the size of my cat’s head (posted Jan 1, 12:21pm)

Goodbye Holidailies, hello 2013 : Holidailies has been fun, and it certainly brought this old blog of mine back to life. So at least one of my new year goals is to keep up the momentum.
