One thing I've STOPPED drinking is alcohol. Instead I've been drinking lots of fizzy water, Soda stream concoctions, coffee, and energy drinks.
It's not a New Year's Resolution or Dry January thing, I just needed to stop before it became a real problem
Congrats on stopping, it takes some willpower, but it’s 100% worth it! I wasn’t quite addicted but did associate drinking with certain emotions and had a bit of a dependency and also quit before it became a problem. You’ll be feeling great about it in no time!
Congrats! A fee years ago, I replaced a 6 Diet Dr Pepper per day habit with what has become a 3 liter per day fizzy water habit. While quitting alcohol is I'm sure much harder, it's been so much better for me as well. I pretty much do unflavored sodastream these days. My sister likes to put peach or grapefruit bitters in hers, and it does have a certain charm.
I bought an Aeropress last week! I made a cup of coffee based on their instructions and another based on James Hoffman’s video on it and both made great cups. I’m impressed by the brew quality given how easy the process is and how little time is needed. I do recommend one to anybody looking for a better cup of coffee without necessarily getting into the extra work that something like a pour over can be.
I visited a restaurant food supply store and came home with a container of Thai curry spice paste. I've been mixing it with coconut milk to make curry sauce. Edit I also chop vegetables and stir fry them to add to the sauce. It's good with tofu or meat, over rice.
I'm not one for asian style foods or cooking outside my comfort zone but I tried making a peanut butter sauce chicken and noodles dinner. My fiancée and I enjoy it, it was easy to make, and we want to have it again soon.
