Hello! Happy New Year’s Eve to you. Do you have the plans? Surprisingly, I am cooking. I am doing some kind of weird wine gelatin dessert with poached pears in and some business with white sauce and there will be oysters, oh yes. I am pulling most of it out of Mrs. Beeton’s cookbook in accordance with the New Blog. It even has a banner now. So in between cooking today I am working on that. In theory we are podcasting tonight, which I would enjoy very much. New Year’s brings out the introvert in me, and I am looking very forward to holing up.
Let’s talk about Tweedle Beetles.
2009 Resolutions: I made two.
1. Drink moar scotch. Yeah, I kind of failed this. I had a good start into February or so, and then I switched to wine, and it was fruity boozy summer, so what are you going to do? Turn DOWN fruity boozy? No. I am making a pretty good showing here at the end of the year, though.
2. Have moar sex. I don’t want to talk about this. I just don’t OK.
Okay, moving on.
For next year I am having a couple of thoughts. I am entertaining the notion of blogging every day, even if it is a snippet or a link, with long posts/essays at the usual frequency. Too much asshole? I don’t know. I am going to start exercising more, especially as my second job is ending soon. It is a mild winter and nice for running. I want to visit USistani friends like Shan and Kaijsa and not just off to Canada all the time, though I like that too. I would like to see Shauna again…it’s been since 2007, weh. Working on it. I would like to meet my wife, but I might have to start playing the lottery to do that. Oh, and I am about to start New Blog, so in theory next year will be more writerly/academicy, ha ha, we’ll see. There will be posts, but perhaps not the correct amount of citations.
Have fun. I will be on the roof. This is 100% improvement over last year when I was asleep at 10:30. Sláinte!
For the record, there is no such thing as too much asshole. BUT will you burn yourself out, doing something every day? Also, I may be spending this evening with just the spawn, probably cook something lame like manicotti.
:( I want some of your poached pears.
Happy new year, Asshole!
Ooh would love to meet up again… And you cannever have too much asshole so bring it orrrrnnn! Happy gelatining comrade!!!!
poached pears FTW!!!
after you do the poaching, don’t throw out the liquid! reduce it down to 1/3 or so and add sugar and you will have delish pear syrup suitable for cake soaking or dessert topping or straight up drinking!
oh, BTW don’t try to reduce it far enough to make hard candy. that did not end well.
Oh, I hope you’ll post every day! That sounds wonderful!
I rung in the New Year at work, and then rushed home so that I could get a few hours of sleep before starting over again this morning. Here’s to trying again next year! =)
Also, wine gelatin? Like, a molded dessert? (I hope that is the correct spelling…I don’t think that your dessert will be moldy, only well-shaped.)
It was very molded, and probably the hit of the meal.
So you don’t know me, but I am the little sister of the people who took Mr. Klassy for a bit! And I have recently become fan of your blog. nice to meet you!
anyway I wanted to say, those are basically what my resolutions were for 2009. one was to drink moar alcohol, and I turned 21 this year, so that was not a difficult resolution. and my other resolution was to have moar (and better) sex. that one worked for a while in 2009 but then it crashed and burned for 2010.
so, fuck resolutions!
Hello mk, welcome. Good luck in 2010.
