20WHAT?

2011, you came far too quickly.  Though in all honesty I can't say I'm UPSET that you've arrived.  2010 kind of blew.  So, what lies ahead in this fabulous new year, where I've already been able to date a card 1.1.11 (hee, sometimes it's the small things).  I'm waiting patiently for 1.11.11 and 11.11.11 (I feel like luck will be dripping off me that day).

So for this year I have two real goals:
1) to run the Baltimore 1/2 marathon (the full would just be a ridiculous clusterfuck, I don't even want to entertain the idea).
2) to decide what to do next year.  I have many ideas, and no way of choosing.  Got to get on top of that.

In between all the madness that will be these two illusive goals I will be cooking, lots and lots of cooking.  I have successfully made three Arabic cookie recipes over break, and I will take photos as soon as I unearth my camera from multiple packed bags and dirty laundry.  Needless to say I have a lot to catch up on.

Best of all, I have a brand new (full-size!!) stove that was installed while I was gone.  How, HOW did I cook for four years on something that only just approximated an easy-bake oven?  Those of you with 32-inch cooktops don't know how good you have it!  Self-cleaning oven, where have you been all my life!?  I was closely acquainted with Easy-off for the majority of my 20s.  I should have bought stock if they were a publicly traded company...
