I hope everyone has a great 2011. I’m not one to make resolutions normally, but I’m really going to try and write more on this blog, both about books and food. They’re two things that matter to me the most.

I’m also going to try a redesign of the ol’ blog. The look is getting old. It’s not terribly hard. I just need to find some images for the banners and so forth.

So far, I haven’t finished a book and it’s already the fifth of January! I’m in the middle of two books actually: Cooking for Mr. Latte by Amanda Hesser and The Fates will Find Their Way by Hannah Pittard. I’m loving them both. Hesser has such a way with words and food. I particularly like how her tastes range from the fussy to simple and yet she seems so down to earth. I’m also enjoying Pittard’s look into the young male’s mind. They’re both talented, young writers to keep your eye on.
