The year is just about over, which means my pescetarian run comes to an end.

I’m kind of sad to see it go. I had a good year sans meat and to be honest, I’ll probably stick to my no-meat ways for the most part (oh, but I am SO having a bite of steak tomorrow night at my NYE dinner. But just a bite, promise!)

No need to give you an update on my meatless year. It was pretty uneventful and sometimes painful, but overall enjoyable. If people didn’t give me such crap for not eating meat, I’d become a lifer. (peer pressure always prevails, doesn’t it?)

My next resolution is more fun for 2012 (<—that’s a scary number to type). I’m vowing to learn new things and give just one thing up:

• Bye-bye dairy (except for maybe some Parmesan or Pecorino on some pasta!)
• Learn to make pasta from scratch  Completed Feb. 2011
• Make risotto Completed March 2011
• Braise meat
• Perfect Cake Balls/Pops for Stacy‘s wedding.
• Make these once and for all!

That’s all I’ve got! What are everyone else’s resolutions? lose weight? become more fit? yadda yadda yadda?

Is anyone resolving to stop the end of the world come December 21? Maybe John Cusack wants to take another stab?
