New Year's Resolutions for Foodie Cruisers by Janice Wald Henderson
A special 2012 top-ten list for cruise lovers and food lovers.
12.30.11
Most of us make resolutions for the New Year. I usually make the same
ones each December 31:
Get fitter, eat healthier, have more patience.
Sound familiar?
Of course, foodies - and in particular, foodie cruisers - have
resolutions that are meaningful solely to us. As one foodie cruiser to another, I'm willing to share my list for
2012. Happy New Year to food-lovers, everywhere!!
1. I will only go to the buffet once. Once to each station, that is.
2. I will stop thinking I'm virtuous by not ordering dessert –
especially after I polish off all the petits fours.
3. I will only order cappuccinos made with nonfat milk. And stop
asking for extra chocolate on top.
4. I will not deem alcohol-inclusive cruises as all-you-can-drink fests.
5. I will stop eating the chocolate turndowns on my pillow like I
never ate a two-hour dinner. (I will
hide them in a drawer and take them home for snacks.)
6. I will order the spa menu every other night. Okay, once per cruise.
7. I will get on the scale before we set sail and weigh myself daily at
the onboard gym.
8. I will not throw myself overboard after I step on the shipboard
scale on Day 7.
9. I will paste these resolutions to the cabin mirror.
10. I will not toss these resolutions in the trash after my first
five-course dinner.
