Happy New Year

My thankful New Year resolution is to be grateful for having a roof over my head, food, drink, clothing, family, and friends, and also God’s Glory Gift: cooking & baking; posting my creations: food and drink. My New Year resolution: I need to transform my attitude: trusting God, letting God lead me, drawing me closer to Him, and growing in His design.

Consider ourselves like this Mediterranean platter: Pepperoni, hot salami, flowers inside the medley of tomato ring, cherries, blueberries, goat cheese & black truffle dip leftover, mortadella, crackers, cherry tomatoes with bocconcini, marinated chili-stuffed olives with triangles of cheese on the blue plate. We are all designed differently for God’s purposes.

As the year draws to a close, make the most of your last few hours of 2024 by restoring your broken relationships with family and friends, and seek to forgive all the wrongs you have done, or that people have wronged you. Make Peace with everyone so that you can start the new year with Peace. Thanks, God, for His abundant present Peace that will carry us into the new year with Love. We can come together just like this platter: beautiful, colourful, blending with each other from all walks of life, and being taken care of by God: on the blue plate: Earth. Happy New Year, everyone!!! Blessings and richest blessings always.

Ingredients

1 bowl Goat cheese & black truffle dip
1 packet mortadella
1 packet pepperoni
1 packet hot salami
2 triangles cheese
wafer crackers, bought
marinated chili stuffed olives, bought
cherries, given to me
blueberries
medley tomatoes
cherry tomato, cut into half
bocconcini, cut into slices
parsley, garnish

Method

Use a wine glass, open both the packets hot salami and pepperoni. Fold pepperoni in half on the glass, repeat until it covers the rim and followed by hot salami. Do the same, fold in half over the pepperoni.

Wash and dry cherries and blueberries and set aside. Open the tub of marinated chili stuffed olives and put 6 along the triangles cheese on a small serving plate and drizzle the marinated chili oil over the triangle cheese. Open the wafer crackers. Bring out the square blue platter and knife. Wipe clean as only used them once a year.

To assemble: open the cling wraps of leftover goat cheese & black truffle dip, place on the square blue platter, then fold the mortadella using a toothpick to hold them together and place into the empty space of the dip. Followed by cherries on top, knife beside dip, then cherry tomatoes alternate with bocconcini below the dip. Followed by crackers line up. Next to the crackers, place the serving plate with stuffed olives and triangles cheese. Beside the serving plate, place blueberries opposite the cherry tomatoes alternate with bocconcini on platter. Gently flip the glass on to the top left on the platter, and lift glass slowly. Garnish with a tiny parsley. Then place medley tomatoes around the meat flower like a ring. Enjoy!!!!
