Ring in the New Year

Be sure to stop by the annual New Year’s Eve Ball Drop Party at the Irma. The event will be Tuesday, Dec. 31, 5 p.m.-1 a.m. There will be dinner specials 5-10 p.m. Beacon Hill will start playing at 9 p.m. and the ball will drop in Irma Square at midnight.

3. Decide on a theme A party theme can be a good icebreaker for guests who don’t know each other well. Whether it’s masquerade masks, a black and gold dress code, or something more elaborate; decide your theme early on as this will feed in to later decisions around food and decor.

Follow simple steps to host your own party If you’re hosting a New Year’s party this year and want to impress, here’s a guide to getting ahead, so you can get the most out your evening with family and friends. 1. Finalize your guest list Figure out how many people your house can comfortably host (standing and sitting) then draw up a guest list. Send out invites to family and friends well ahead of time to make sure they’re not already booked up.

2. Check your kitchen supplies For a drinks-and-nibbles-style party, you can never have too many glasses and plates. Check what you’ve got in the cupboards and if need be, buy in a few extra. Or, you save money and cupboard space by hiring them instead.

4. Set your budget Decide how much you’re happy to spend on your party. Having a set figure in mind before you do anything else will help reduce the risk of being tempted by additional extras while you’re out shopping. 5. Send out your invitations When you send out your party invites make sure you include an RSVP date, then send email reminders nearer the time. 6. Guests’ contributions No one expects to go to a party empty handed. To help prevent any doubling up, it’s perfectly acceptable to be specific with your guests about what you’d like them to bring – whether it’s a sweet dish, drinks, or chips and dips. 7. Food and drinks Once you’ve decided on a sit-down meal or nibbles-and-drinks style party, you’ll need to work out the party menu.

Have a look at our delicious ideas for no-cook party bites. Aim for around 10-12 appetizers per person and two bottles of wine for every four people, don’t forget to offer a good supply of non-alcoholic drinks too. 8. Plan the entertainment Create a few themed playlists of party tunes to last the evening – five to six hours should do it – but expect interruptions and requests. Make sure you have a few party games up your sleeve too, even if you don’t intend on playing any – you never know what direction the evening will take. 9. Organize the house Rearrange furniture to create space and store away any precious items. Make sure you have a table set up for drinks with a corkscrew, bottle opener, ice bucket, lemon and lime slices and plenty of glasses and cups to encourage people to serve themselves. Give the house a good clean before guests arrive. 10. The day before Buy the remaining fresh foods. Freeze more ice than you can ever imagine needing (if it’s cold enough, you could store it outside) and work out where the mountain of coats and umbrellas will go when guests arrive.

say “I” – seem to associate old age with senility, the loss of your faculties, and the total breakdown of a once functional human being. It happens. And although my first phone call was cut short by a little choking fit she was having because her throat doesn’t work as well as it used to, when she returned my call a few hours later, we had the most delightful conversation. Elizabeth never married, nor did she have children of her own. She was a career woman, taught school for many years and donated countless volunteer hours to various organizations. She was always present at family functions. (Her brother had six children.) When we were finished with whatever holiday celebration or family dinner we’d gathered for, she would load up and drive home to her house where she lived alone (and still does) – quietly leaving behind the chaos. Now she is 100 and, I’m pleased to report, still has her wits about her. And whether or not pursuant to our first conversation she took a little refresher course out of her

ramblings By: René Huge

Don’t be too quick to judge I had the best conversation with my great-aunt Elizabeth the other day. It’s been many years since I’ve spoken to her on the telephone and two years since I’ve seen her. In November she celebrated her 100th birthday. Unfortunately, I was unable to attend the party, but I’d been meaning to call so I finally got it done the other day. I wasn’t sure what I was going to encounter. Like, for starters, if she would remember me. We as a society – or perhaps I should simply

friendly address book matters not – other than to further exemplify her togetherness. I was impressed. She asked about my kids, by name, and spoke reflectively about encounters we had shared in the past as if it had happened yesterday and we spoke on a regular basis. She told me how important it was to expose our children to opportunity to better equip them for what follows. It was a special moment. Age is a funny thing. Some people just get old quicker than others. Some look older. Some act older. Some give up. Some, however, remain active and vibrant and continuously engaged in life. This is my great-aunt. And I do marvel at her. While on the one hand I believe having children helps keep us young at heart, on the other, raising a family adds stress to our daily lives and as a result ages us a smidge. Throw in a spouse or two

and you have the potential to age quickly. You’ve heard that saying about people who smoke and every time they smoke a cigarette it takes something like seven minutes off their lives? Sometimes I wonder if a similar analogy could be made for having children. Like for every kid you have it takes 13 minutes off your life. Multiply that exponentially depending on your children’s gender. (I wonder which gender eats up more minutes?) I don’t know. It doesn’t really matter. I’ve got my own mixed brood and my own fair share of gray hairs and I wouldn’t trade one minute or one gray hair for a life without them – even if I am wrinkly, slightly worn out and older. I know that because I have children my life is more full and more interesting. It’s a beautiful gift and if I’m lucky I’ll get to do it for 100 years.

Classic rock group with modern attitude performs Jan. 10 at Powell Auditorium

or classic rock and roll with today’s attitude – Don’t miss The Diamonds. The group will perform Friday, Jan. 10, as part of the Community Concert Series. The concert begins at 7:30 p.m. at the Powell Auditorium. In 1957, The Diamonds released the million selling hit “Little Darlin’”. The song continues to sell worldwide and has been dubbed “the National Anthem of Rock and Roll”. To date it has sold approximately 20 million copies. “Our goal has always been to keep that classic Diamonds’ sound intact,” Gary Owens says. “Although The Diamonds are four distinctive individuals, we have created one strong group personality. The four of us as a unit have a special chemistry, and it is that chemistry that gives us our unique identity.” Through the years since the release of “Little Darlin’” the group has learned one important lesson – the durability of this classic rock and roll music is as much about the future as it is about the past. As a result, they continue to expand their audience to this day, performing in a variety of venues and settings worldwide. These performances include – with Symphony Orchestras, in Performing Arts Theatres and major concert halls, on cruise ships, in casinos, at county and state fairs, on tours of England, Ireland, Brazil, Chile, Korea, and Japan, for benefit concerts, corporate conventions and at nightclubs. The group is made up of Sean Sooter, Jerry Siggins, Jeff Dolan and Gary Owens. Sooter is a recent addition to the group. The tenor received his early performance training with the highly acclaimed national touring group, The Young Americans. Sean has served as musical director for numerous musical productions and worked for six years as a high school music teacher before joining The Diamonds. Siggins is the lead and has accumulated some impressive credits. He has worked throughout the U.S., Japan and Australia as a singer

and actor. Before setting down roots as a permanent member of The Diamonds in 1991, Siggins enjoyed a successful career as an actor in television commercials and was actively involved in Southern California theatre. He sang in a doo-wop group called Danny and The Dappers and was a mainstay at Disneyland and Disney World as a vocalist with The Dapper Dans vocal quartet for years. Dolan is the newest addition to The Diamonds. The bass singer has worn many musical hats in his career – first as a member of the jazz group Beachfront Property, then as the bass singer and vocal contractor for Ray Conniff, touring internationally for 10 years. Jeff was a member of the Dapper Dans of Disneyland, worked as a Christmas caroler for 25 years and has appeared on over 25 CDs. Owens is the baritone singer and has spent the longest time with the group, joining in 1973. A well-rounded musician, Owens learned his craft as a journeyman bass player around Los Angeles while earning his undergraduate degree in music at California State University, Long Beach. In the early 1980s, Owens took a brief hiatus from The Diamonds to complete his Master’s Degree in Business Administration at the University of Southern California. Besides singing, and playing saxophone and flute, Owens does much of the vocal arranging for the group. Tickets will be sale in the lobby the night of the performance and are $30 for adults and $10 for students. Children 12 and under are free. Tickets can also be purchased at the Cody Newsstand, Cody chamber, Accents Florals and in Powell at Marquis Awards, or by calling 527-6122 or (307) 754-4061.

Our goal has always been to keep that classic Diamonds’ sound intact. Gary Owens

In the Stars

Dec. 29-Jan. 4 ARIES (March 21-April 19). You have returned from a quest to claim your new position. You feel a responsibility to help those who are less experienced. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Think of what would happen if Earth were any more attracted to the sun than it is. Apply this principle to your love life. The health of a relationship depends solely on the degree of attraction you feel for someone. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You want to see justice done, and you are in a position to execute it this week. The vessel in question may be a heart, stomach or wallet. If it’s empty, you’ll fill it, and if it’s full, you’ll take some and pass it around. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You will prove your stellar leadership ability by surrounding yourself with people who have specialized expertise and a kind of intelligence that is different from your own. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You hate to feel on-edge, so you’ll do the things necessary to center yourself and get emotionally stable. You’ll schedule self-care and arrange to be in situations that calm and comfort you. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). A dry spell will end in a big way. The first drops of “water” will start a flood. Think ahead, and make necessary arrangements and purchases. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). The trials of long ago still seem to be influencing your current scene. The people you’ll deal with are stronger and more organized and capable because of what they had to deal with back then. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Health, relationships and possessions all take time, energy and money to keep in tip-top shape. Try to avoid getting into things that you won’t be able to maintain at the neediest point of the cycle. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You wanted a change, and suddenly it’s happening for you. You just want to get through the process quickly and be on the other side. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). If you want to quit, there’s probably a pretty good reason for it. Why suffer needlessly? Trust yourself instead of being inflexibly tied to your original idea. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You can’t help it that you have excellent taste, a large body of experience to draw from and a purpose that keeps you from being distracted by every shiny new development that comes along. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Those with low self-esteem often blame themselves for things, and everyone assumes the blame has been correctly assigned. You’ll see this dynamic at work this week. If you were born this week you’ll invest in your home in January and add more value in September. Someone new craves your attention in February.

Jan. 5-11 ARIES (March 21-April 19). It’s never a dull moment when you’re the leader. The best teachers never talk down to their students, they invest full attention into doing what it takes to help them learn. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You are acquiring a tolerance for a certain slightly embittered individual, and you may even like this person’s views. They help you to appreciate life’s sweetness. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). If you have more time on your hands than you have money in your pocket, consider yourself lucky. This is exactly the condition that breeds great things. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Broken things need to be tossed, fixed or repurposed. Repair your luck by taking time out of your week to repair your stuff. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You don’t need everyone’s attention on you for as long as possible; you just want people to know what they need to know in order to have the best and safest experience. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You’ll feel outgoing as long as people maintain a respectable distance. But if they cross the lines of personal space or good taste, you’ll retreat to a more introverted way of dealing. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). The things on your mind this week have to do with home, family and generally taking charge of your territory. The more control you have over your domestic space the better you feel outside of it. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Excitement, news and ideas all swirl around you looking for somewhere to land, but you won’t let any of it settle in. Until your work is done, you’ll consider everything else a distraction. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You’ll plot your next move carefully, sensing that you’re at a critical juncture. Y you won’t be happy if you’re not acting in accordance with your beliefs. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You’ll be in an ambitious mood all week. The results you desire are achievable, or so you’ve heard, though you don’t personally know anyone who has done it yet. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Good stories aren’t born from reasonable people doing sensible things. Noteworthy events are products of passionate, unexpected behavior. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You know what you want, and you ask for it, but not everyone can state a desire with such certainty. Your example will embolden them. If you were born this week ou’re on trend at the start of your year and will use technology to achieve a higher level of organization and thus improve your timing.

Start your new year off right with delicious, stylish meal (AP) – You’re ready to kick off the new year, and you want to do it with a stylishly delicious meal. But you probably don’t have time to master fancy new kitchen skills. Or to shop for a million ingredients. We’ve got you covered. We created a simple, elegant meal that won’t tax your time or your kitchen cred. We offer up classic French flavor in easy recipes that deliver rich flavor just right for a winter meal. Start with a spiced carrot soup, then move on to a perfectly roasted filet. Finish the evening with chocolate sorbet sandwiches, the perfect partner for the sparkling wine you’ll be drinking. Spiced Carrot Soup Ingredients 1 tablespoon olive oil 1 medium yellow onion, diced 2 pounds carrots, peeled and diced 1 teaspoon five-spice powder 1 quart low-sodium chicken broth or stock Heavy cream Salt and ground black pepper Directions In a large stockpot over medium-high, heat the olive oil. Add the onion and carrots and cook until browned, about 10 minutes. Add the five-spice powder and the chicken broth, then bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to simmer and cook until the carrots are tender, about another 10 minutes. Working in batches if necessary, carefully transfer the soup to a blender and puree until smooth. Return the soup to the pot. Stir in a bit of heavy cream, just enough to thin to desired consistency. Season with salt and pepper, then heat until hot.

Peppered Filet Roast with Parmesan Roasted Cauliflower Ingredients 3 pound Chateau Briand (center cut filet mignon roast), trimmed Salt and ground black pepper 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided 2 heads cauliflower, trimmed into 1-inch florets 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese Directions Heat the oven to 425 F. Generously season the roast with salt and pepper. In a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high, heat 1 tablespoon of the oil. Add the roast and sear for 3 minutes per side. Place the roast in the oven and cook for 30 minutes for medium-rare. Meanwhile, in a large bowl toss the cauliflower florets with the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil, the Parmesan, and a bit each of salt and pepper. Spread the florets on a rimmed baking sheet and roast for 30 minutes, or until tender and browned. Remove the roast from the oven, cover with foil and allow it to rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve with the roasted cauliflower. Chocolate Sorbet Sandwiches Ingredients 24 chocolate wafer cookies 1 1/2 cups sorbet (any flavor) Directions Scoop 2 tablespoons of sorbet onto the underside of one chocolate cookie. Press a second chocolate cookie onto the top to form a sandwich. Repeat with remaining cookies to make 12 sandwiches. Freeze in an airtight container for up to three days.
