Between juicing and some cooking, I spend a lot more time in my kitchen than I have for the past few years. I go shopping and buy fresh food. I visit the Farmer’s market. I am far more aware of what I am eating, so I am accomplishing what I wanted from this goal.
I want to purchase a new stove to replace my lovely, but old, stove. It needs to go to a good home since it’s a classic.
And if I actually have people over for dinner, snacks, whatever, then I will feel that this goal has provided me the incentive I was looking for.

Especially when I discovered that 90% of lobsters are captured before they can reproduce. That being said, I think lobsters are fairly well managed in Maine. I just prefer crayfish, and other sea food, to lobsters.
For atmosphere, there is nothing like eating lobster in Maine. They really know how to set the atmosphere and help people enjoy the experience. Seeing all the lobster pots in the water with their brightly colored floats adds to the experience.
For me, a crayfish boil in Louisiana is tastier.

After attending the chili cookoff party at a coworker’s house last night, I want to host one. I could do this for my neighbors, or people from work, or both. I think I will start with my neighbors. We get together a few times a year and this could be yet another reason to get together.
I want to have the party outside. There are plenty of folding tables and chairs for people. Cleanup is easy. Who knows, this could become an annual event.
I found a great online resource for planning the party:

Now I just need to pick a date and talk to some neighbors!
I shall do this before the end of March!!
