year.\u00a0 That didn&#8217;t happen because I ran too much too soon so I got plantar fasciitis on both feet.\u00a0 This year, I&#8217;m gonna start slow.\u00a0 The plan is to do a 5K every month or two.\u00a0 In fact, I&#8217;ve already signed up for one on January 23rd.\u00a0 Wish me luck and best wishes on your resolutions.<\/p>\n<p><a

no shortage of laughter and interesting conversation of which contents I&#8217;ve vowed not to divulge.\u00a0 We started with lemon artichoke mousse with anchovies served with toasted baguette slices.\u00a0 Our main meal was a deconstructed lasagna.\u00a0 Keith made the pasta, tomato sauce and the ricotta cheese.\u00a0 He also fried some fresh basil until crisp in some butter.\u00a0 (A good tip for drying fresh pasta:\u00a0 a tension curtain rod between a doorway).\u00a0 For dessert I made a triple berry trifle using angel food cake, raspberries, blueberries, and some of my balsamic strawberry jam from last spring.\u00a0 The recipe for the appetizer is below.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/driftlessappetite.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/01\/dinnerparty.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\"
