Update on 2009 resolutions...

Since I am so obviously playing a bit of catch-up today, what with the pressing deadlines all behind me, let me just update you as to my 2009 New Year's Resolutions--esp. as we creep up on the last third of the year:

1. "don't give myself such a hard time. celebrate my successes and don't beat myself up too hard on my failures." Hmm. A bit of a work in progress, that one.

2. "learn to make a really good dirty martini." As of last night? Checkity-check-check-check. Holy shit, I made a really really good one. And strong, too. I knocked myself on my ass. That drink was so velvety--strong but smooth--that I could have probably taken advantage of myself, but I didn't, because evidently I am both a gentleman and a lady.

3. "learn to make creme brulee." I never fulfill this one. I've had that stupid dessert blow torch for like three years now, but frankly it always seems simpler to just go to a restaurant instead.

I will share my espresso creme brulee recipe if you wish; it's divine.

Although I agree that one could just go to a restaurant to get creme brulee, I want to help with this resolution anyway: we should have a doggie play date afternoon (where we make and set them) and then cook dinner together for our dudes and serve them!

Also, I LOVE this: "I could have probably taken advantage of myself, but I didn't, because evidently I am both a gentleman and a lady."
