Nine what, you ask? They are not resolutions. Instead, they are little hopes and dreams. Nine things I would like to learn or experience in 2009.
A friend recently challenged me to think of ten things I learned in 2008. I thought my head was going to implode. 2008 marked my entry into the blog-o-sphere or, as I think of it, the Great Plains of Social Networking. My list could be created out of a set of icons. I learned about tweets and twits, facials on a book and terms like search engine optimization. In my day, people would talk about “hooking up”…now you get linked in. It takes a lot of time just to try and keep up!
Well, I am not one to look back for too long. I find it much more adventageous to look forward. In doing so, here are my nine for 09′:
- Go slow! I want to focus on recipes that rely on the art of slow food.
- Acquire a copy of “1001 Foods You Must Taste Before You Die” and start checking items off the list.
- Visit and tour three farms in Delaware.
- Create how-to-videos to post on Well Spiced Life. (send me ideas/requests!)
- Take a winery tour in Virginia on the Eastern Shore by kayak.
- Incorporate recipes for diabetic and gluten-free diets into my toolbox.
- Research, save and find a buddy to go in on a share of a CSA.
- Go South to get a fix. As in a fix of real BBQ and ribs.
- Work on an outrageously delicious recipe for a duck meatball.
Ok, that is it for me. How are you going to spice up 2009? What is on your list?
