Debunking Beer Can Chicken: A Waste Of Good Beer, And Dangerous
I can't claim credit for it, but by far the best New Year's resolution I've ever heard is "Drink more champagne." It flies in the face of the conventional model of resolutions, which entails discipline at best and deprivation at worst. When food and booze are involved in resolutions, "less" is typically the operative word.For the second year running, I plan to include the word "more" in my resolutions, or at least the spirit of the word. I hardly have to tell myself to drink more champagne, but I could remind myself to seek out caviar more frequently, for instance, or to order that appetizer of pâté de campagne whenever it's on offer. Or I might resolve to develop my taste for Scotch, invest in crystal stemware, or host a bacchanal every month.
This is all sounding pretty highbrow so far, but it doesn't have to be. "Eat more fried shrimp/potatoes/okra/chicken" would work. So would "Never run out of PBR." Milkshakes, McDonald's fries, cream pies, waffles, mozzarella sticks...Plenty of inexpensive food is plenty decadent.
Are you sold yet? If so, what's your indulgent resolution?

I resolve to treat myself to foie gras from Viande 3 times this year.
I resolve to always have a chilled bottle of Champagne on hand for impromptu celebrations (yay, Tuesday!).
I resolve to go to 5 restaurants I've been wanting to go to, but 'couldn't afford' to just pop in to. One night of decadence is worth a month of savings. Paley's Place, Beast, Le Pigeon, Carlyle, John Palmer House, I'm looking at you.

The "more" that's important to me is more time with my love; he had a stroke in 2008 (at age 40!!) and I need to do what I can to keep both of us healthy and active as we age. Yes, an occasional indulgence is important, but the rest of my life will be as healthy as I can make it.

Will add it to http://www.pledgehammer.com on New Year's eve.
