I wish I had some kind of exciting food-related resolution to share with y'all, but I don't. I wish even more that I had some kind of exciting culinary accomplishment to share too, but alas, I don't.
BUT! In the great battle to do more on the weekends so I don't have to do as much on weeknights, I had small victories yesterday. B and I did massive groceries, and it was awesome to see how few of the items on the conveyor belt were NOT processed. (Is beer considered "processed" food? Kraft doesn't make it, so I'm going to go with NO.) I made lasagna (with lots of extra veggies) that is more than a week's worth of lunches. I started Jenessa's vegan bread last night, but it went in the fridge because I decided to not wait hours for it to rise. While cutting the veggies for the lasagna, we chopped the ones for tonight's chicken curry. They're in a bucket, just waiting to be dumped into my birthday saucepan.
B's folks gave me this saucepan for Christmas; it was too, too generous. But I love it already, all the same.
The holidays were fine; ate a lot of good food. B made eggnog from scratch — raw eggs and everything! It was good. He used this recipe (not the gorgonzola one). It was a hit with the neighbors, with whom we spent Christmas Eve. It was fun to make it, just for the novelty, but what a pleasant surprise when it turned out tasty!
Sorry, I sucked all month. No pictures. Oh wait, there's one. But it'll have to wait. Suffice to say: I found the elusive mangosteen.

most beers *i* would not consider processed, so i'll give you that one. i think it's funny you linked to a photo of my lopsided bread. hopefully you didn't forget about the bread - again.
