Back when I made the same New Year's resolution every year (to re-evaluate my relationship with food), I would spend the first few weeks of January preparing meals and actually learning about flavors and techniques. Then, each year, as legislative session became progressively chaotic, I stopped. Then the resolutions ended altogether.
The behavior and the routine, however, have staying power.
After a building open house party, our office had half a keg of porter leftover. So I made a chocolate stout cake (marking the first time I made a layered cake!) and bland beef porter stew. Then I made a less bland stew, followed by Batch Three of the beef porter stew, which turned out pretty well.Next up: a vegan lemon cake!
I spent all day at the MLK Day rally and march and post-march rally, though, so I'm too tired to crawl to the grocery store to buy ingredients.Oh, and I'll be running an 8K in Vancouver in May.
Clearly, I'll have to balance all this rediscovered baking-and-cooking enthusiasm with an aggressive soccer-and-Zumba regimen.

Now do you mean that you will be mixing Zumba and soccer at the same time? ...'cause that might be awesome.
Ha. It's the newest Olympic sport, didn't you know? Also, WAY cooler than synchronized swimming.
