It seems as if last year flew by in a flurry of ice cream cakes and cookies and everything yummy under the sun. Don't get me wrong. I also have fruit and veggies in my house at any given time, but they just aren't as memorable. Who wants someone to come out on their birthday with a bunch of birthday broccoli? Or show up with a bouquet of squash? Face it, it's the yummy, not so good for us treats that define memorable moments.
I have decided this year, I am going to embrace those moments, and make them all as yummy and tasty as I can. I will get that cup cake I see in the shop to celebrate the new book I just bought. I will grab a cookie or two when I clean my kitchen floor. There is nothing wrong with rewarding the small moments as well as the big ones. This past years for my hubby's big 40 I threw him a big Asian themed bash. And right there in the center was a cake. But not just any cake. It was a beautiful cake with three kinds of sushi, dipping sauce that looked like soy sauce, and chop sticks all made out of fondant. That was memorable.
This year, I will do the same sort of thing for all the big celebrations, and still remember that not only is it good to stop and smell the roses sometimes, it's also good to stop and smell, and even eat, the baked goods from time to time. Any moment you want to remember should be accompanied by food. That is my new years resolution.
