Starting fresh

There is something to say about the first day of the year. It's a landmark of new beginnings, good resolutions, and fresh start. 2009 started with grocery shopping, filling the cabinets, the fridge and the freezer with fresh food, new diet.
It's a regular in the top ten of the most popular new year's resolutions, both in the American and French culture. Rise of obesity? Influence of medias - and the fact that Bravo TV ran a Biggest Looser marathon all day? Or simply the need to feel more healthy, more energized every day.

Realizing that we have taste buds is a beautiful feeling, that there are savors to explore out there, spices to experience, textures to discover and put something new and different on our plates. Plus the incredible feeling of the "I did it and it taste good"... priceless. Healthy, juicy, fun!

Loosing weight is not what I want to take as a resolution this year. I learned to believe in small steps and one less restaurant outing, one more home cooked meal every week, should do the trick for 2009.
