Food Resolutions for 2009

[BarbaraY]

I usually resolve not to make resolutions but I think there are some things to change.

I will eat more fish, fruit and vegetables and less junk food.

I will make more full meals for myself instead of a bowl of popcorn or a Subway sandwich.

I will find more good recipes for 30 minute main dishes that do not contain commercial products..

I will learn to not overextend myself while preparing meals.

I will teach all family members to stay out of the area between the island and the sink. That's my area!

Try bone marrow. I'm looking at you, Ansill.

Try sushi more than twice this year. Things went well the last time.

[onocoffee]

I will eat more chilaquiles.

'nuff said!

[chowfun]

Cook more.

[PhillyBon]

Ooh, fun topic.

Mine are:

- Try all of the little French places opening in and around Queen Village

- Cook some recipes from the Viaggio di Vetri cookbook (my husband made the spinach gnocchi the other day and they were delicious)

- Eat more pho

- Get up to the Monday night BBQ buffet at Sweet Lucy's, and

- Take advantage of the low lobster prices more often (they were $4.99/lb at Hung Vuong, 11th & Washington, the other day)

Happy 2009!

I will eat more vegetarian meals.

I will make at least three meals in my new dutch oven per week (okay, maybe one, but it's just begging for it).

I will find a way to get up at dawn on Thursdays to get to the farmer's market.

I will learn to make basic doughs perfectly.

I will teach the shoemaker next to me on the line not to burn garlic (former corporate Carrabba's my ass!).

I will read more books on classical cooking.

I will not work in a restaurant that seats more than 150 a turn (I want to spend quality time with my plates dammit!).

[JasmineL]

I will eat like nobody is watching.

Just kidding.

I will eat roughly 80% local and seasonal food.

I will make my lunches in order to save money and my waistline.

I will find more food-friendly friends...especially those of the single-male persuasion. *sigh*

I will learn the basics by enrolling in an amateur cooking class.

I will teach my dog to cook me dinner. It's about time she started pulling her weight!

I will read the old recipes and home economic books I inherited from my grandmother.

I will eat dark chocolate every day.

I will make bread. I've never made it from scratch.

I will find my Mother's recipe for Beaver Pudding somewhere on this earth.

I will learn how to make proper pastry.

I will teach my neighbour up the road how to work with chocolate although I really don't want to.

I will read Peter Greweling's excellent chocolate book every page out loud to my DH who loves to be read to.

I will grow my own ginger to candy

I will not well, I don't know what I will not do or be or think.

 

It's more than ten years later and yesterday I found my Mother's recipe for Beaver Pudding.

Well, we're ready to see it!

OK.  Next week after the Dog Weekend and a couple of days to recover....
