New Years Day Party

Okay, one more day of party pics (in case you hadn’t had enough yet!) This party was at a professor’s house and was very fun. Since they’re both vegetarians, we had a lot of vegetable and tofu dishes, but some people brought meat since the guests weren’t all vegetarians.

Me with the hosts:

A delicious party and I managed to eat lots of vegetables (and other foods!) Now I’m back in New York and ready to start 2010!
