Hmmm, I'm not really a New Year's Resolutions kind of girl. Don't think I've ever written down a list of resolutions, and the only one I usually ever make, even in my head, is to drop those last 5 pounds. But I do feel like I'm in something of a transition period (I got tenure just over a year ago which gives me more freedom academically, I'm on sabbatical next fall which will give me a lot more free time, and I'm in the midst of starting my home-based baking business), so I guess I'm feeling a bit more contemplative than normal.
Here's a recap of some of my food-related highlights of 2009.
Wishing you a wonderful 2010!
