Actual recipe for a happy New Year!

Yet another year has come to an end and here we are, ready to step on the other side, into the unknown. Don’t worry, I won’t mention New Year resolutions; I don’t have any, I never had. Instead, I’ll present you a recipe that teaches you how to prepare a delicious New year! Sounds good, doesn’t it? I know, I know!

It is a classical recipe, kind of difficult to find, created by Katharina Elisabeth Goethe (1731-1808), mother of Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. The ingredients are pretty common, you won’t encounter any trouble finding them.

Here is the recipe, bon apetit!

Recipe for a happy New Year! Take 12 months, clean them from envy,
bitterness, costiveness, pedantry
and divide them into 30 or 31 parts,
so that the supply is enough for one year.
Each day individually arranged from:
1 part of work and
2 parts sense of glad and humor.
Add 3 accumulated tablespoons optimism,
1 tablespoon tolerance, 1 pellet irony
and 1 prize of time.
Then dowse the mass with
very much love all over.
The finished court can be decorated
with Straeusel of small attentions,
serve it well with daily amusement!

Starting the 1st of January 2008, the blog will sport a slightly updated design (color wise) and will aim for the stars - the A list status. It will be a big year, I’m telling you!

I wish you all a happy New Year!! See you on the other side.
