Here they are, and they don't include stopping procrastinating:
1. eat right and exercise, at least until my jeans fit better. So far, so good.
2. Cake of the month: I'm going to make one cake a month. Life is short. I never make cakes because then you have cake on the counter begging you to grab a hunk every time you walk by. I might make a cake and schedule playdates the next day. My first cake is actually going to be a pecan pie, made with the pecans picked in my aunt and uncle's yard in Texarkana.
3. Mayan cooking: this isn't really a resolution so much as a project. Dave and I have a new Mayan cuisine cookbook, and we're going to cook from it at least once a month. We are becoming regulars at Ysenia's on Powell where they sell fresh tortillas, and when I bought pigs' feet from the butcher counter I learned how to say "pata de puerco," and the butcher sawed them in half for me for maximum flavor. Que bueno! Our new cookbook has all of these recipes for recados, that sound very exciting.
That's about it. It seems do-able. I'm also in charge of maintaining the toys/play area for the family shelter downstairs from the Sunnyside Swap Shop. I'm excited about making that space as inviting as I can, using the stuff available in the swap shop and asking for donations.

Awesome. Would we all bring cakes to such an event?
only if you're so inclined :)
I just need a place to offload cake to an appreciative audience.
You had me at cake. However, I am facing the problem RIGHT NOW of a fresh from the oven pan of brownies getting smaller and smaller by the minute.
I'm very excited about this cooking plan! I'll bring the wine.
I like how your "fitting in jeans" resolution is followed by "cake" resolution.
I know. I noticed that, too. but what's life without cake? (and hollandaise sauce, and cocktails, and cheeseburgers....)
