Week 3 round-up

Almost 1/17 of the year gone already!  Three weeks into 2013, I thought I'd do a quick review of how I'm doing with my New Year's Resolutions so far.

The updating at-least-once-a-week-on-average is going well -- this will be my sixth post for the year, though I guess it's kind of cheating to count a round-up post towards my total.  As always, it's time and energy rather than ideas that are the rate-limiting factor for my creative efforts: I have lots of topics in mind for new posts and still quite a bit of restaurant-review content that I haven't got round to writing up yet.  These things are only likely to become scarcer once term begins for real, but hopefully the resolve to post regularly and the safety net of 'on average' rather than every single week will help to keep this up.  I may also have to learn to think less and post more!

As for trying new things, in Week 1 (as I recorded already) we had sous-vide cooking and a new restaurant.  In Week 2, we tried out Olive, an Italian restaurant where Lee used to know one of the waitresses and -- more successful in bringing in custom than passing acquaintance with the staff -- I'd received a 50%-off-food voucher.  This week, Week 3, I made kimchi stew and stock for its own sake, in the slow cooker, and tried not just one but three new restaurants while I was in Edinburgh.

So far, so good.  I wonder what to do this week?
