Already playing catch up

So it is January 5th and while I slacked on the posting of what I did each day, I have not failed to continue this new thing resolution...

Sunday, January 3rd - I tried a new recipe from a vegetarian cookbook I've had for a few years and don't think I've used. There's really fantastic pictures of all kinds of dishes in it, so I often look at the pictures and plan that I'm going to one day cook one of the recipes, but I finally did it. Made vegetarian jambalaya. Have never had regular jambalaya, so couldn't really compare it, but the verdict is still out on this one. I'm a big fan of trying new foods, but wasn't a huge fan of the veggie jambalaya. I did have to make a few substitutions for spices and such, so maybe that was it. Probably won't be cooking this recipe again anytime soon, but didn't hurt. I still am in need of some new recipes... sick of cooking the same old thing.

Monday, January 4th - I was a joiner... I joined the "Riverlution". Oh yes - I'm so hip. It's really just a listserv for a local radio station - the Riverlution sounds so much better than "a radio listserv". I heart 93.9. I was listening on Monday and heard that people who joined the "Riverlution" have the chance to get the new Erin McKeown cd for free. I also heart free stuff! It's supposed to keep me in the know about local music. Fingers crossed for the cd. If you, too, want to be a hip Riverlutioner, check out www.wrsi.com.
I also joined a "Biggest Loser" competition! My roommate and some of her colleagues did one this summer and they're starting it up again. I'm pretty competitive, so hoping the competitive nature (and the fact that I can win at least $150) will help motivate me to get in shape! Have until April 1... this should be an adventure (I'm hungry already...ha).
