Beans for a new year
The culinary theme for February and March was beans. I didn't talk about it on the blog, because, honestly, how appetizing do those black-eyed peas cooked with a ham bone look? Let me assure you they were actually delicious.
Anyways, it seems appropriate to mention it now, because beans are a traditional New Year's food, and today begins a new year for me: it's my birthday! And I've decided that instead of making New Year's resolutions, I'll be making some birthday resolutions:
- For the next month, I resolve to not eat any pre-made or processed foods. I've been heading this way for a while and thought it would be fun to give it a serious month. I am still allowed to eat whatever I want at restaurants and friends' places, but at home I'll be making my own bread, yogurt, etc. The only exceptions are cottage cheese and whey powder, which I am not prepared to make just yet.
- In the next three months, I will go backpacking!
- In the next six months, I will take guitar lessons
- And then there is the boring but necessary one where I resolve that this year I'll keep up my gym routine, pick up my socks, hang up my coat, put my dishes in the dishwasher and finish all my craft projects.

The resolutions are an excellent idea. I am really intrigued to see how the processed food thing goes. As I get busier, it seems like I eat more and more veggie burgers...

Try navy beans. They look less dubious when cooked.
