Curried Beef Short Ribs

Note: I found this was more realistically four servings.

Finishing this dish with lime zest and juice brightens its rich flavors.

Yield 6 servings (serving size: about 3 ounces ribs, 2/3 cup rice, and about 2 1/2 tablespoons sauce)

Hope everyone had a happy new year's celebration. I am not going to do my year in review. Been there, done that, bought the t-shirt. I think we all know it was the worst of times, it was the best of times.

I will be doing resolutions though:
Start taking vitamins again
Establish regular schedule of yoga and start pilates
Lose more weight (32 pounds so far!)
Take more time to relax
Continue working on relationship with co-parenting partner
Let go of kitchen OCD
Support my friends and family and shower them with the love
Try not to be too blunt
Let people in, let people out
Forgive
Heal

(Part of MY New Year's resolutions) - but don't you waste away on us - don't want to see you as a lollipop! Thanks for the holiday well-wishes - hope to talk to you soon and see how things went - fill you in here. Will try to call soon - Patrick's mom leaves Thursday evening.

No New Years Resolutions, although I did tell my students that I had one - that I don't get paid enough to be treated rudely, crudely or put up with lunacy. One peep and they are OUT (I spelled it out but your comment blocker wouldn't let me). It felt great!

I love the picture and you guys match! ;)

Happy New Year, Alisa! I love this photo of you. Do I need to re-skim your entries and find out your secret to losing weight? I need some inspiration for the new year...
