Me? To eat less bad food and more healthy food.

As for eating cabbage, it depends on how its prepared. I like it in
small amounts cooked in soup, or raw in health salad.

Shrimp are fun.

Trying to avoid sugars? Otherwise, hey, chocolate is good for you.

Ewwww! Don't do that. If cabbage tastes nasty to you, then it tastes

1. To keep homemade refried beans in the fridge on a regular basis.

Do try more cabbage possibilities, it really is very good.

Mine is to experiment with odder flavor combinations. I don't like to waste
food, so I shy away from really off the wall combinations sometimes, because
I will eat it unless it kills me. I think I'll risk my tongue more often.--

Do you not eat cabbage at all. It was one of those things I would eat if it
was served to me. We have been eating al it of red cabbage lately. My
wife usually does it. She slices it very thin and then fries it in a bit of
a butter, adds a bit of apple, a scratch of nutmeg and a bit of lemon
juice. After sautéing it a bit she turns down the burner and puts a top on
the pan. It is delicious.

(laugh) There's a resolution for you. I resolve to give up
turnips and refried beans! Of course, this won't be hard to
keep since I wouldn't touch either one of those anyway.

I'll go along with turnips and add broccoli and French Fries for
the same reasons but I like refritos :-)

We informally made a resolution a couple of months ago to buy and try
something new every time we shop at Uwajimaya (the Asian
mega-supermarket in Seattle). As far as New Year's food-related
resolutions, I'd say the main one is to do more experimenting, even on
weeknights. (I have to justify all these cookbooks somehow...)

The primary goal (not resolution) for this year is to be able to finish
the whole Danskin triathlon in August. (I have to work off the calories
from the aforementioned food experiments somehow...)

Happy New Year, y'all!

Nope. I don't even like coleslaw... Most of my friends know I despise
it, so they are not offended when I don't eat it if they make it.
However, my Dad is threatening to make his "special cabbage" in the next
few days. He said something about cooking it up with onions and...
something. I'll have to see how he makes it. I might even taste it...

(laugh) Anyway, I'm with the others who said Why eat cabbage
if you don't like it. Heck, I like it and I hardly ever eat it. Having
said that, I now have an itch to make stuffed cabbage, or
make some effort to reproduce Hungarian cabbage soup.

Do you hate brussels sprouts, too? Not taking a survey, heh, just
curious.

We have been running down our big freezer in readiness for moving. I have
had to give some stuff away but we are doing pretty well

I can understand that. I have had enough coleslaw in restaurants and other
places that I can appreciate anyone not liking it. However, I have also had
some pretty good slaw. I have also had sauerkraut that was delicious, and
some that was really not very palatable. I don't much care for regular
boiled cabbage. I will eat it if someone serves it to me, but I never cook
it at home. I do like the red cabbage with apples that my wife cooks.

As for me, I love brussels sprouts but hate cooked cabbage. I'll eat
it, but I certainly don't request it.

Again, it's not strictly on the topic of food but my most recent
New Scientist magazine had a quiz, one of whose questions was
this.

Which of these resolutions will do most to help save the planet?

a) Reduce your intake of beef to 1 kilogram a month.
b) Cut your driving by 200 kilometers a month.
c) Writing your resolutions on a sheet of paper and then
recycling it.

According to the magazine, the answer is a) but I really
preferred c)

When I turned 16, I chose not to get a driver license because I
thought (I believe correctly) that driving was incompatible with
drinking beer, and I knew which I wanted to do more.
b) would be OK with me. I'd rather take the bus to/from work every
day than severely limit my beef consumption.

I hear you on the book thing. I have a collection of fiction (I'm a
recreational reader, and don't often read non fiction) of my own, but am a
part time librarian. I keep finding interesting books in the course of my
work day. Somehow, my resolution to read some of my own first goes down the
tubes once I spot another library book. I may lose my position, though, as
our council members have announced that to reduce the property tax increase
from six point eight to four point eight, they are considering closing four
libraries in the municipality. That really bites since we are the smallest
and may be the first to go..... Sharon

I don't buy new books. My income doesn't allow it, but yard sales are a
great source for fiction. I also have a large collection of cookbooks from
yard sales also. Many of them have pretty awful recipes, but I manage to
pick the best ones to try. I've read all of Mary Higgins Clarke mysteries,
but lately have been reading
books about the Amish. Beverly Lewis, Wanda Brunstetter, Cindy Woodsmall.
and others......A public library is also a good source for cookbooks.

I recently saw Drs. Roizen and Oz on TV. They really tell it like
it is. Their view of autopsied body parts was most sobering. The
message I got was loud and clear. Look after your heart and
circulatory system, your immune systems and your guts. Watch out for
the fat, sugar and processed food. As I type this I am watching
"Inside Brookhaven Obesity clinic" . Wow!!!!! Lots more fresh
vegetables and grains from the dirt on my farm for this boy. Do I want
to live to be 100? Absolutely!!!!

Mom's younger sister, Aunt Jane, the health food nut, who only shopped
at Whole Foods, used to tell Mom not to eat bacon because it would kill
you. Aunt Jane died when she was 82 and Mom is 90. I told Mom if I
lived to be 90, I would eat fried pig dipped in mayonnaise.

Eat your chocolate, it has not hurt you, yet.

My father in law lived on high fat and salty foods. He started the day with
some granola and yoghurt followed by two poached eggs (on toast) with
melted cheddar on top followed by another piece of toast with lots of
butter and a spoonful of honey on each bite. At noon he went downtown and
had lunch in a restaurant or at one of his clubs, so you can count on a lot
of salt and fat. He always had a drink with his meals, wine or beer, or
both. He had a nap in the afternoon and when he got up he would have his
dinner, crackers with peanut butter and a double martini. Whenever he ate
at our house he always had lots of meat and gravy. He was very active and
alert and died peacefully in his sleep about a month before his 95th
birthday.

Most cabbage haters have been subjected to overcooked stuff,
IMHO. Cabbage does not need to be cooked at all. Shredded
cabbage makes some pretty good salads and Japanese Tonkatsu, for
example, is served on it. Strictly speaking, Tonkatsu is
deep-fried, battered pork but oven-fried chicken also works. One
salad that I like is Cabbage & Mushroom Salad (Insalata
Appetitosa, from Bologna)
