New Years Resolutions

[judydawn]

I love your list too Uni - you are such a character and you wouldn't be you if you gave up half those things.  I don't make a list probably because I don't have time to even think about it but this thread has made me give it some thought. Why save money at my age - you can't take it with you.  Lose some weight, yeah probably a few kg but I figure who looks at me anyway. Have more friends to meals this year - certainly will if DH stays well.  Give up drinking - never, it isn't a problem so why give it up. I just wish there were more hours in the day to do more of the things I would like to do.

Katie what sort of knife do you use? I have a width of trident bread knife. I find if the bread is completely cooled it is much easier to slice. Practice helps improve the cutting efficiency.

Meagan I have a Global bread knife - so I don't think I can blame my tools!  9 out of 10 times I let the bread cool completely  before I slice it, but it doesn't seem to help, I'm just hopeless at it!  I almost have to apologise to the bread before I start 

I was thinking at Xmas whilst my OH was (badly) carving the turkey we should get an electric knife.  I have my eye on the Cuisinart Electric Knife, which comes with two blades - one for bread and one for meat.

My New Years resolution is to give up New Years resolutions! 
I'm terrible at them... really I am.
I want to blog more not sure if that counts.

  We always write our goals down for the year, so we have the whole year as a couple to complete the list.

ha ha fundj, you must be into dessert wines 

DD23 is on a new diet. She made me a pomegranate/raspberry smoothie for breakfast at 7:30am. By 9am my stomach was empty and I nearly felt sick with hunger. When I get hungry I just crave carbs, and I can't stand eating fruit when I'm starving for carbs. Being on a diet eating rabbit food is very unsatisfying and I can't keep it up. (She's currently steaming broccoli atm for a salad for tea  )

[judydawn]

Whose on the diet CP, just DD or both of you?

[Halex]
