Kitchen Resolutions

New Years resolutions seem to be on everyone lips these days. Aside from the usual lose 10 lbs., quit smoking, drink more water, stop going to Starbucks everyday, I'm wondering if any of you have kitchen resolutions?

Here are my kitchen goals for the year:

• Make homemade pasta. I've had a pasta crank for more than 2 years and it's still in the box!
• Set the timer on the coffee pot. Who doesn't like waking up to the smell of freshly brewed coffee?
• Be more adventurous. Of course you can make sashimi and soufflé at home!
• Quit neglecting my little garden. Herbs are nice, but why not add some veggies?
• Learn a bit more about cheese. There are countless varieties, couldn't we all know a bit more?
