Goals in the food world

bbro · 11-12-2008, 02:29 PM

I've decided that I am going to make a list of things that I want to do (food wise) in 1 year. December to December. I was going to write a blog

but then decided just to do it on pencil and paper.

I have simple things like roast a chicken, make a cake from scratch, go veggie 4 days a months, cook 1 recipe out of each modern cookbook I have, that kind of thing.

I was wondering what would be on your list.

Maybe span the globe, making one traditional dish from each nation. Of course, this is more Pooka's area; and she pretty much does that already.

The winter is great for baking/roasting and making stews and stuff. Filling the house with yummy warm smells while the cold wind is howling outside.

Flint, I was thinking of that, maybe next year, if this is successful. Or maybe just picking a few nations/cuisines for this year. I will be making pierogies from scratch, so it's a start.

I'd like to experiment more with different flavours. Get more bold and create some really spectacular dishes.

If you're looking for something you can get the family involved with, or maybe just a group of friends who don't mind getting messy, try pupusas. Or a salsa creation contest, completely from scratch (the best way really)

In 2009 I plan to eat a vegetable.

Wrap it in bacon, you'll survive.

I plan to get better organized so we don't eat out so often when my time is cut short by school and work. Things like making double portions when I do cook and freezing half, planning meals in advance so I don't stare at the fridge in a panic at 5 p.m., that sort of thing.

I'm going to find a good burgoo recipe. Love that stuff.

I'm going to make my son eat a more balanced diet. Boy cannot live on chicken nuggets and ramen alone.

I'm finally going to use that pasta maker I bought last spring.

I like the idea of going vegetarian 4 times a month......what day of the week, bro? Is it something with alliteration, like....

no Meat Monday

or Was never alive Wednesday?

HungLikeJesus · 11-12-2008, 08:51 PM

No face Friday?

DanaC · 11-12-2008, 08:57 PM

Try to avoid living on Supernoodles for 3 months out of 12...

plants are not alive. they are life, but they are not alive

DanaC · 11-12-2008, 09:08 PM

Really? Because they will at some point be dead....andthat kind of assumes they were alive in the first place.
