Happy New Year! I have a good feeling about this year, it has started off with a level of optimism and excitement in the air that is truly phenomenal.
I always believe in making a New Years Resolution. It's one or more (depending on how ambitious you are) changes that you can make to improve your life, your lifestyle or your happiness every year. I always try and make them reasonably achievable.
So since 2012 is a big year I splashed out and made 2 of them:
1. Cook and eat more Thai food. As world cuisines go, you probably can't get much better nutrition than authentic homemade Thai. Filled with fresh raw and lightly cooked fruit and vegetables, healthy seafood, fermented foods, nutritious broths, with naturally gluten free rice as the only readily consumed grain along with good quality fats used for cooking (coconut oil and lard) and all of those delicious digestive herbs and spices. And I love the taste.
2. Dive More. I just registered that I actually live at the sea, with a beautiful ocean on my doorstep filled with beautiful wonders and fresh seafood. So I have braved the cold and have made a point of discovering some of the treasures that are so accessible to life in New Zealand.
Next year I might have to stop complaining about the weather...
