For me (and I suspect for a lot of other people), this is the big reason why I don't cook more adventurously at home -- I don't mind doing the prep work and the actual cooking, but after all's cooked and the food's eaten, there's still the pots and pans and knives to be washed, the stove and counters to be wiped, etc. There's a lot of things I avoid cooking (e.g. anything that involves the blender or food processor, anything that involves cutting raw meat) because of the extra complications to cleanup. How does one clean up reasonably quickly, efficiently, and safely? My 2008 food resolutions are to keep going to the farmer's market regularly, to use the stuff I put in the freezer before it keels over from old age, and to figure out some more things I can make to pack for my lunches.

I am a passionate though young foodie and your site really inspired me to venture more into the foods of the east. I myself eat very little meat in my diet and I would love to see you focus more on the "exotic" fruits and vegetables of Asia used as a main dish. Some ways I want to broden my food horizones this year are learning how to create Indian sweets and apitizers. I also would like to incorporate more tofu into my diet and actually have it come out tasting good (something I find hard to achieve). This year I hope to learn some Thai and Korean dishes to achieve this tofu goal. Well happy new year and I look forward to your future posts. Barbara,
