Sydney is one of the first cities to reach a new year. What a spectacular fireworks display it will be in approx 20 minutes.

I celebrated the evening with family and friends and I made a spectular "trifle" tiramusu style full of cream, marscapone cheese, chocolate, marsala, pistachios, glace chocolate and Italian panetone soaked in marsala. (I can fast tomorrow) - picture below. im such a foodie.

you possibly cant tell but its a huge huge bowl that can serve about 20.

recipe based on http://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/itali ... tmas_20000 instead of making it a cake i put it in a big bowl as a trife. Also made 20% more cream and put in some glace oranges for more fruit flavour. My panetonne cake had no fruit in it when sometimes it does.

Anyhow happy new year to everyone.

May your new year bring good health and a great figure and a great reading on those "scary scales"

hope to be here for all of the year with my "newfound global friends" and by March or April, in maintenance mode, finally.

Cheers

If you are all up still partying, happy new year to all down under. That trifle looks amazing @juliana.rivers :like: :like: :like:
@Juliana.Rivers Happy New Year from Perth! 45 mins to go until 2014. I can tell it's going to be a great year with this new WOL!
Delicious looking trifle. Every other diet I have been on would have me thinking "Bloody hell. Will be while before I get to eat trifle guilt-free again" but not this time! If I want a normal sized portion on my next feast day, I can! The sense of liberation this plan offers is just fantastic!
