Appetizer: Caviar w/ petits toasts, hardboiled egg, and sour creamThe chopsticks are for serving the caviar, since you're not supposed to serve caviar with silver.
This was very tasty. I love eating everything layered together. The eggs and sour cream are the perfect foil for the saltiness of the caviar.
Entree: Portabellas w/ cream and sherry, new potatoes, and asparagusLike the caviar this was best eaten together. The sherry was a bit sweet. I think next time I'll use white wine. The asparagus and potatoes were perfectly cooked.
Dessert: Butterscotch Baked PearsThis was the highlight of the meal. It was *so* delicious. I actually made it with brandy since I didn't have any scotch, but that didn't hurt at all. I can't wait to have leftovers!
I think this is a really excellent tradition.

I think everything looks absolutely yummy! Good thing I am sipping a sweet dessert wine while I read.
Wonderful custom!
I think I already emailed you this comment, but: I so badly want the recipe to your butterscotch pears. Mmmmmm. Glad the mushrooms worked out OK for you!
