New year resolutions

Happy new year everyone (I hope anyway)

Generally speaking, I'm not into the concept of resolutions, at least as most people seem to make them.

Eat healthier. Drink less. Exercise more. Eh. There's no clear goals to achieve so they'll (nearly) always fail.

That said a list of easy things to tick off is a great idea I reckon. So here goes:

1. Finally give curing a go
   1. Bacon
   2. Ham
   3. Lamb ham
2. Oyster blade > then brisket. Not sure why I've dragged my feet with these
3. Beef ribs. My wife does an amazing stew with these so I've never gotten around to smoking them, but they looked incredible in someone's cook here recently
4. Sausages (with the end goal of making Sichuan sausages, which are kind of chorizo-like but with a significant percentage being Sichuan pepper). Not available in Australia so worth the effort
5. Biltong
6. Sous vide

Now, 4/5/6 require buying/making equipment, but aside from those there's nothing stopping me from just doing them.

Anyone else got a list?
