2008

It's hard to believe the end of 2008 is just a few hours away! To quote one of the most overused phrases of the year, this has really been a year of change, for me personally as well as for this country. Even though it was a year full of fun times with friends, travel, and good food, and a year of personal milestones, it was also a year of much upheaval, and I can't say I'm all that sorry to see it go. Even positive change can be challenging!

I will be ringing in the new year this evening in my favorite way--with old and new friends and a lot of good homemade food. Here's to a wonderful 2009!

Happy New Year!

2008 in Food, originally uploaded by zannect.

Looking back over 2008 in Food (and comparing it to 2007 in Food), it's obvious I'm eating more local foods, more fresh food, and more homemade food. I've been cooking much more since I moved to Somerville! And wow, I can't wait for next summer and all the amazing fresh fruit and vegetables we'll be receiving from our CSA. As I look out the window at another six inches of snow, brand new this morning, I am longing for a fresh local peach or a tomato that actually tastes like a tomato....
