Resoloved:

I have only one New Year's Resolution this year, and that is to become a deipnosophist, a person who excels at dinner table conversation.

A worthy goal, don't you think?

(The word came from this fabulous book my parents got for Christmas called Cupboard love: a dictionary of culinary curiosities by Mark Morton, which looks at the etymological background (among other things) of interesting food-, drink- and cooking-related words. I'm thoroughly enjoying it, and trying to read it fast so that I finish it by the time I have to leave.)

ps. Happy birthday [livejournal.com profile] circe_tigana! I hope you're having a fabulous time off with your girls.
