new year.

so, happy 2008.

i am ready for this year. ready for new things.

i am not really the resolution-writer, but i am promising to eat better this year. more GOOD food. i think michael pollan hit the nail on the head as he wrote, "eat food. not too much. mostly plants." i like this so much that i am thinking of painting it on my kitchen wall. we'll see. BUT it just makes so much sense. i try to eat food that makes sense. i want to be able to pronounce what it is in my food.

so i am thinking of cooking classes in the new year. new knives. someone to teach me how to hold a knife properly. maybe cooking classes in a foreign country. i want to see more countries. more of the world. i haven't been enough places yet.

AND i am turning 30. in a month. i am looking forward to 30, but it seems like a serious number. like it means something. i hope for incredible things... like more beer like blake brought home last night. a tasty way to start the year. so good. how do those belgians do it? and they are mostly monks. i guess they have plenty of time for the beer-brewing.

so happy 2008.
