Resolutions: 2007

Resolutions: 2007 — the wrap-up

Friday, December 28th, 2007

I made some food-related resolutions around this time last year. Let’s see how they turned out!
Learn to bake. Although I never did make a third baked good, more importantly, I realized I’m no longer afraid to bake something new. I made cakes, I made frosting, I made a pie crust — and I already knew […]

2 down, 1 to go

Monday, November 5th, 2007

Last December, I made a seemingly simple resolution: learn to bake. I decided (quite arbitrarily) that I needed to make a cake, a pie crust, and something else before I decided it was done.
Since then, I’ve made a (quite good) cake, (kinda horrible) frosting, and a pie (bad filling but good crust).

Thanks Lucy, whoever you are.

As part of my Resolutions: 2007 campaign, I resolved to go to the Union Square Greenmarket once a week — every week. The thing is, in the dead of winter, the Greenmarket’s somewhat of a crap shoot; you never really know what’s going to be there or if it’s even going to be worth the […]

Well, I’ve made it three weeks so far.

Three weeks (and two days) and I haven’t flubbed any of my 2007 resolutions. You’re impressed, right?
I’ve been keeping track of the resolutions I made for the year with the goal-setting-slash-social-networking site 43Things. I’m not going to share the whole list (although if you’re stalkerish enough, you could probably find me) but here’s my food-related […]
