Resolutions

The following is a transcript from the January 4, 2007 Hungry Hoosier show on WIRE 91.1 FM

This is Scott Hutcheson, The Hungry Hoosier. We’re only four days into the new year and I’ve already managed to set and break a few resolutions. Many of us make new year’s resolutions that have something to do with food - usually eating less of it. Eating better and exercising more are among the top resolutions each year. One resolution that I made last year was to eat more slow food. There is an actual movement called Slow Food. Their aim is to protect the pleasures of the table from modern fast food and life and they have an international membership of 8,000. I’m not among their ranks but I can appreciate their cause. This is one of last year’s resolutions I managed to keep. Our family’s dinner routine varies during the week. We’ll put together a quick mac and cheese from a box when we need to but, at least on the weekends, we try to slow things down - a long-braised beef bourguignon, a made-from scratch lasagna that makes the house smell amazing. I hope you’ll consider adding more slow food to your plans for the new year.
