I’m so over the New Year’s Resolution thing.  I have been for quite some time.  But one needs to have goals in life, yes?  So I have set a goal of a post a week and I’m hoping I can stick to it.  Whether it’s a quick note about my new favorite find, a recipe to die for (or gone horribly wrong!), a long dissertation on some incredible experience, it has got to get on to the blog.  If it’s about food or drink it needs a post.

Here’s a quick recap of some of what I remember about 2012.
Pluses: ABC Kitchen, Northern Spy,  the return of Chef Mike d’Ennery who can be found at the new Mark Joseph’s Grilled Pizza in Manalapan (NJ), Zac Young’s donuts at Flex Mussels, dinner at the James Beard House, chef’s table at Elements (again!!),  Donut Plant, Confections of a Rock Star, The Cheese Cave, Carton Brewing.
Minuses: Ruvolo’s closed (farewell, Drunken Grandma), Sandy’s a bitch, waiting way too long for Twin Light Taphouse to come back.

Cheers!  A toast that 2013 is better than 2012!
