There is such a thing as a WHOLE chicken?

You do not need a coffee pot. You will never need a coffee pot. That is why they have cafes.

Cooking a whole chicken is theoretically the easiest thing ever, but I’m scared to do it. I did find this inspiring, though: http://blog.ruhlman.com/2010/01/america-too-stupid-to-cook.html

I had such a difficult time getting past the fact that you have no coffee pot. That’s like someone saying, “This year I’m going to get a real wine bottle opener that isn’t one I stole from a bartender that says “Santa Margharita” on it that CONSTANTLY pokes out the side of the cork because really, do I look like I went to bartending school?” Or not, if you would rather have a soda.

Maybe you should resolve to get your sweet ass up to Canada so you can learn more about Lake Ontario…

I dig this. I haven’t made any concrete goals yet, either. I’m just workin’ on being a better version of me. Good luck to us!

Resolutions pale mightily in comparison to plans to simply just get on with enjoying life.
Especially with good friends. =-)

I can’t really help with most of it, but:

Chickens are easy, but maybe start with 1 Cornish Game Hen(much smaller, cook quicker, taste the same). Butter all over, inside and out, rub on salt and pepper, cook until juices run clear, and skin is crispy. Yum!

I’ll lend you my dog, and hold your hand through the maiden chicken roasting.

I’m also all for correct grammar and syntax, but something about moving to another country seems to have fucked with that. Just edit that last comment as though I’m a person who speaks English as a mother tongue, kay? That can be your holiday gift to me.

I am officially gifting you my coffee pot. I bought it ten years ago for a visiting galpal and we had to call her mom to confirm the ratio of water to grinds. Note: We still got it wrong and ended up buying all of her coffee fixes at the Wawa around the corner. The pot hasn’t been used since, unless “collecting dust while shoved in the back corner of my cabinet” counts.

I think a general resolutions, “do more of”, are better because you aren’t boxed in. Sky’s the limit. So there!

I’m thinking that the 7.4 pounds is an awesome way to start the new year! You’re ahead of most people on their resolutions :)

This is a great way to look at a new year. I hope you achieve it all and much more.

And congrats on the weight loss – you’ve lost about one dress size!

Love those goals – some of them sound very achievable!
