[1]For years, I fretted about whether or not I’d have a date for New Year’s Eve. But now, I’m totally at peace with spending the evening at home alone (as long as I’m with my dog). Just today, I decided I’d cook one of my favorite Marcella Hazan recipes, Spaghetti Bolognese [2]for dinner tomorrow. On the way back from the market, I ran into a neighbor, and spontaneously asked if she’d like to join me. She’s a producer and gets screeners of the latest movies, so we’ll be watching Nebraska [3], sipping martinis and eating pasta. 2013 is ending on a tasty note. What are your plans?
