We got home this past Tuesday night, after spending Christmas with my family and then ten days in Oaxaca, Mexico, with a couple of friends, and I\u2019m so relaxed that I can hardly remember how to type. I\u2019ve never been particularly good at relaxing, but in the past year, I\u2019ve started to get the hang of it: how to do nothing but read for an entire day, how to be a fair-skinned person on a tropical beach and not die of sunburn, how to drink a beer at noon, and how to enjoy swimming in open water without thinking about Jaws<\/a><\/i> or that giant sturgeon they found in Lake Washington<\/a>. Having just spent more than a week practicing my new skills, I can report that I am ready to go pro.<\/p>\n

I took my old Nikon film camera with me and shot three rolls, which I should get back from the lab tomorrow. I\u2019ll share them with you in a few days. In the meantime, I bring you some snaps from my iPhone. I posted a few of them on Instagram, and some of you requested that I share tips and recommendations for eating in Oaxaca. I am not any sort of expert on the region, especially since my Spanish is mostly limited to Donde esta el ba\u00f1o?<\/i>, <\/span>but I\u2019d be happy to share the spots that we enjoyed and a few helpful details we learned. For example: tarantulas! Won\u2019t kill you! Cuter than expected!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

I hope your 2015 is off to a smooth start. After being sick for part of November and more than half of December, we\u2019re elated to be healthy and are settling back into home with a batch of Granola No. 5<\/a> and a roasted chicken from Ashley Rodriguez\u2019<\/a>s beautiful new book Date Night In<\/a><\/i>. Actually, I should also mention that I\u2019ll be leading a discussion with Ashley this Thursday night at Book Larder<\/a>. Please join us!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

I\u2019ve never been a New-Year\u2019s-resolutions person, but I like to set a few modest goals. In 2015, I want to make pottery again, take a writing class at Hugo House<\/a>, learn how to sew<\/a>, and read more fiction – starting with this stunner<\/a>, which I took on our trip and, after a slow start, wound up loving. I want to write more.<\/p>\n

Be back shortly.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
