Some resolutions not kept

1) To make meringues. This is a kitchen project that intimidates me, and thus was on the list for last year. I came close to completing it in the run-up to Christmas — I saved egg whites — but didn't have enough superfine sugar, and had already baked waaaay more Christmas cookies than we could eat. (Dozens in the freezer.) Also, I would have had to improvise a piping bag. So it didn't happen.

2) To go to an art museum alone. I went to an art museum, just not by myself. The idea behind this one is that I would rather look at art in solitude. However, other things seemed more pressing when I did have alone time. Actually, I did do this -- but it was in part research related.

3) To get a pedicure. It would be awesome to have great-looking toes during the summer, but I am still working up to this one. And I'm not sure I will get there, or really want to. Maybe when they have pedicure-giving robots. Or maybe those pedicure fish.

4) Eat at a taco truck. I forgot about this one during the summer, and by the time I reviewed my (failed) resolutions in December I had no desire to eat tacos. Summer food.
