it's been a while

Happy New Year everybody! I hope everybody had a good holiday season with lots of good food, good drink, and good family time. I know I did!
So. New Year's resolution. I will be a better blogger. I know, you're laughing at me right now, since I've never been particularly consistent. But I will try really hard, I promise.
So. I have made a list of writing goals for 2010. Here it is:

• submit Nor
• write cupcake truck Western novel
• write first novel in urban fantasy series
• outline entire urban fantasy series
• write three short stories
• edit the two shorts I wrote last year

I think I can do it, as long as I stay disciplined. Wish me luck!
So, anybody else have any good goals for this year to share?

Cinnamon Apples with Cream Cheese

Cinnamon Cream Cheese Apples

1 1/2-2 cups (1/2 L) water
10 oz (280 g) cinnamon imperials
apples
cream cheese
red food coloring (optional)
chopped walnuts (optional)

Start water to boil. Add in the imperials. While the imperials are dissolving, peel, core, and quarter the apples.

When the imperials have all dissolved add in food coloring if using. Turn off the heat and add the apples. Soak about 5 minutes each side.

Remove apples from cinnamon syrup and chill for 30 minutes. Pull out and put a dollop of cream cheese on each apple quarter. Sprinkle with chopped walnuts if using. (I left the walnuts out in video because I forgot them, but they are a good addition and make it look prettier.)

I have created my first vlog. What is wrong with me? But here it is.
