New Year Resolution

Once again this year, I made a resolution for the new year. I am not a big believer in New Year's resolutions - I always figured that any day is a good one to start working toward a goal, so why wait for January 1 - but once again this is in honor of our friend Kelly from Boy Scouts, who died way too young, and whose daughter asked us at his funeral just before Christmas 2015 to make resolutions, because Kelly always did, and he was very excited about them.

Last year's resolution was to make at least two posts a month on this blog. I only posted 14 times in 2016, but there is a big difference between making a resolution and keeping it. The point here is just to make one.

So my resolution is that I will try to broaden my cooking repertoire. This is not about fancy recipes or becoming a world-class chef. Rather, I find myself needing to make dinners more often these days, so I need ways to put together a quick dinner after work. I do that sometimes, but I have gotten complaints lately about the simplicity of my meals and the lack of variety. This is partly due to my need for diabetic-friendly meals, but all the more reason to have to put some effort into it.

The other day I made orange fish, which involved actually squeezing the juice out of three oranges, but it was an easy recipe. I thought it was only OK, but people seemed to like it.

Maybe meat loaf will be next.
