Resolutions and such

I've not been much of a one for keeping new year's resolutions, but I seem to be on a resolute streak this year, with a variety of things, some very mundane, like stopping biting my nails, some less so, like learning to cook. Honestly last year I couldn't think of anything more time-consuming and annoying than cooking, and my personal rule was that if it takes longer to make than to eat, then it's not worth it. That attitude has mysteriously snapped this year, and I am just suddenly in love with the process, the creativity, and the thought of making other people smile, and I've learned to make a load of stuff - soups, salads, bread, cookies, loadsa things with fish... - haven't made the same meal twice yet this year. It's a really good way to relax as well. One resolution worth making at least!
