The beginning of a new year presents us all with an opportunity to attempt to purge ourselves of bad habits and vices, and introduce new, exciting prospects and adventure into our lives. It provides, on an annual basis, a new chance at accomplishing goals and desires, which, up to this point, have eluded us for various reasons.
For the month of January, I am going to be experimenting with new recipes that are healthy and nutritious, but do not compromise on flavor. I personally feel physically bogged down after Christmas, mostly from too much rich food. I want to make consistent, healthy eating a way of life for myself and for my family. I want to try various recipes that are not necessarily mainstream, and use atypical ingredients and spices. I would like to master the art of Thai cooking, for instance, and I will post what I learn.
I have many other goals set for myself that are not related to cooking. Some of these are along the organizational/home-improvement lines. Gil and I want to build a home gym in our basement and we also want to build an outdoor kitchen. He will, of course be doing the building. I will assist in the design and the finishing-touch decorating. We are both pretty avid about tackling projects ourselves, and we make a good design team because our taste is very similar. I want to present each project in a step-by-step, how-to fashion, in hopes that it will be helpful to you. Even though I will be working on various new schemes and exploits in the month of January, it will also be an exceptional time to relax and detoxify. I plan to include some fun projects such as homemade soaps and bath salts, to make for yourself and/or as gifts, as well as other uncommon ventures.
I'm looking forward to a wonderful new year, full of fun and great surprises! I hope you are, too!

Yea, can't wait to see it all happen and get some new good ideas/recipes to steal :-) If you have seen my blog you know I love the whole step by step thing. Nice song by the way. I will have to go www.itunes.com it and check it out.
I noticed that! That's why I said we were so the same. Glad you like the song.
