12 in 12

I'm not much for New Year's Resolutions but I do like lists...
Here are my top 12 goals for 2012:

1) Learn how to say "You're welcome" in Japanese instead of "Don't touch your mustache."
2) Tolerate the nimrods with fourteen items in the ten items or less lane.
3) Build more muscle and increase my metabolism so I can eat more.
4) Make my polenta soft and my fudge hard.
5) Spend two weeks in Italy including Terra Madre in October.
6) Buy a pressure cooker and not be afraid to use it.
7) Have "Marcy's Green Egg White Omelette" on my favorite diner's menu.
8) Properly toss a pizza and perhaps learn a trick or two.
9) Embrace quinoa.
10) After cooking on a train and a plane in 2011, cook on a boat in 2012.
11) Buy something new and unfamiliar from the Farmers Market every week.
12) Turn my book SNACKS into HarperCollins one month early!!!
