2014

This year, Bill and I decided that instead of trying to have some sort of new year resolution that we would probably inevitably fail at, we would try something else. We tend to get in the rut of going to the same restaurants all the time. It's easy and we know what we like there. So, for 2014, we decided that we wanted to try at least one new restaurant each month. The only "rules" we really have are that neither of us have gone there before and it has to be of our choosing. So... like a family birthday at restaurant neither of us has been to still doesn't count (but I am adding those to the list because they were new and others might want to try...).
