Maybe today is the day to... (New year edition)

try making your usual take-away, favourite muffins or cupcakes or maybe recreating that special pasta dish from your neighbourhood restaurant at home. Amazingly, when I did this with my favourite stir-fry and banana bread, both turned out even better than originals and I'm no super chef! Of course, part of the pleasure of buying take-outs is that somebody else made them for you, and often the rest you get is actually worth the price, but since making my favourite recipes, I haven't bought any ready food in a while.
