Happy New Year! Fun and Games

I have forged into 2014 with two evenings of food and fun with friends and family, learned how to make Jenny Lind pie and Polish sauerkraut with apples and onions, On New Year's Eve my guests and I played Apples to Apples.  I've played this game often with grandchildren but this was the first time with adults.  I love a game that allows for lots of laughs and conversation.  On New Year's Day my son introduced us to a new game called Flux, a really strange game where strategy doesn't seem to count for much.  Winners seem to be as shocked as all the other players when they win. Strangely fun.  I'd say 2014 is off to good start.
