More cooking

I'm not much for New Year's resolutions, but it is a good time to think about some goals. So yeah, I guess those are like resolutions. Anyway, this year I'd like to cook a bit healthier, so I bought two healthier cooking cookbooks and I'm going to work through some of those recipes. I'll try to remember to post recipes here. I also just want, in general, to cook more, and to cook more kinds of food. I'm not as picky as I used to be, but there are still a number of things I'm not a big fan of. I don't like beans, except steamed green beans. No cooked or refried beans, and I'm not a fan of cream sauce (like alfredo), and I hate chicken eggs. So sometimes it's a bit tricky in terms of new recipes. I tend toward Italian, chicken, somewhat spicy, etc. I've been working on an Indian curry and  I think I'm close to a recipe I like, so I'll post that next time I make it. I'd like to try making paella, too. Neither of these things is particularly healthier, but I'm not going to be all strict about that.

Right now, though, I have a terrible cold. If I had the car, I'd likely run get stuff for chicken noodle soup, but i don't, and I feel cruddy, so I've just been making miso. Salty, but good.

Anyway, keep an eye out for a few new recipes.
