What are your culinary aspirations & goals for 2024?
In 2026, I plan to continue trying to make and serve soups and chowders for dinner most days of the week.
I’m working at mastering oven-braised stews.
I’m continue to work on my vegetable gardening skills.
I am also working at cutting out the snacking after dinner. A bad habit I picked up in 2020.
More mushrooms in more ways. Tracking the pertinent threads.
As ever, there’s no resolutions in this house. I do have a goal - and that’s to make it through next year. Which is somewhat different to what was the goal for this year
Please do.
Irish food. Now that SO and I are settled into our new home, I’m learning more about Irish culture and traditions. Two of his younger grade-school age nieces are very interested in cooking and baking, so I’m hoping that we can spend time in the kitchen and learn to master these dishes together.
that sounds like fun!
I love Irish food. So much that I started this thread IRISH cooking 
I look forward to hearing about the recipes you try out.
I have been wanting to make an Irish lemon pudding for ages. Hopefully that will happen in 2026.
Just some simple goals for 2026…
Put a hot healthy meal on the table for dinner. (with some variety – not too many repeats).
A daily simple lunch for Sunshine (again something healthy).
Stay on budget.
Keep an eye on neighbor #2 – make sure she is eating. I did take one meal to her (last week) as she was feeling a little too weak to cook that day.
Starting a new beginning of pan pizza . And some others styles in the kitchen oven this winter . Then back to cookng in the outdoor pizza oven in March. So much to learn . I enjoy it.
