New year, clean slate

For the next month, I've sworn off restaurants and coffee shops. All of my meals will be home cooked and my coffee will be home brewed. My goals are to save money and get some more cooking experience. It will require a lot of planning, time, effort, and creativity on my part but I am ready for the challenge.

I'm planning on making a lot of weird ethnic dishes. Last night I had curried beef, potatoes, and onions over rice and okra. Tonight, salmon steak! We'll see if the enthusiasm lasts, but I'm excited about this...
