It's that time of year again where I write the wrong year on some form, cross it out, and write the new one in. For once, I actually did something this year other than fall right asleep and went to have hot pot at a friend's place. I, of course, brought the beer (3 different kinds of stout - oatmeal, chocolate, and Guinness) and my rum banana cake. I haven't had hot pot in forever (we did Chinese hot pot this year) and I actually did kind of miss it and this time try all the different kinds of spices from different regions.

New Year's resolution? I'm probably going to try to get out of my comfort zone and bake other things. I started out with cheesecake then brioche and now banana bread but this year, I'd probably start with peanut butter cookies (I've never baked cookies!) and I really want to do those egg tarts you find in Hong Kong bakeries.

Hope you all had a good time too! I read all the comments so I'd genuinely be interested in knowing what you all did for New Years so I can live vicariously through you lol.
