"The other day, &lt;a href=\"http://www.bonappetit.com/people/our-team/slideshow/food-new-year-resolutions-2014/?slide=1\"&gt;we declared our food-related New Year's resolutions&lt;/a&gt; to the interwebs\u2014partly to inspire our readers, partly for our readers to hold us to them. Well, a couple days have gone by since our slate has been wiped clean, and we've been thinking: &lt;strong&gt;There are just some things we cannot give up&lt;/strong&gt;, no matter how painfully overdone, uncool, or downright unhealthy they are. No way are we forsaking the mind-calming 5 P.M. bourbon at our desks, the pure ecstasy of biting into our favorite doughnut, or the comfort of take-out Thai. Or even that now-ubiquitous leafy green, kale. There's some comfort to take in these familiar little indulgences. And though &lt;a href=\"http://www.bonappetit.com/recipes/healthy/article/complete-one-page-menu-plan-food-lovers-cleanse-2014\"&gt;there's virtue to resetting your body in January&lt;/a&gt;, you can't &lt;em&gt;completely&lt;/em&gt; deprive yourself of the things you love all year. Here are the 13 things &lt;a href=\"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ\" target=\"_blank\"&gt;we're never gonna give up&lt;/a&gt;. In 2014, I still reserve the right on the occasional weekend to have a slice of pizza and a few sips of Coke as a 4 p.m. snack\u2026and then eat an entire meal later in the evening. For those who know my regular eating habits (three square meals a day, healthy snacks), well, the truth is now out. \u2014&lt;em&gt;Faye Chiu, assistant managing editor&lt;/em&gt; My four o'clock bourbon at work? It's part of my job, I swear! &lt;em&gt;\u2014Andrew Knowlton, restaurant and drinks editor&lt;/em&gt; Fried mozzarella sticks. You'll have to pry them from my cold, dead hands. \u2014&lt;em&gt;Ashlea Halpern, special projects editor&lt;/em&gt; Not quitting kale, even though I've been dabbling with chard and collards.\u2014&lt;em&gt;Christine Muhlke, executive director&lt;/em&gt; My daily cortado. It's $4 a day\u2014and that's if I skip my second, bonus afternoon cortado\u2014that I don't need to spend. The perfect balance of milk and espresso (plus killer latte art) keeps me sane. That and walking a few blocks outside during the work day. So no, I'm not giving up my #dailycortado. &lt;em&gt;\u2014Matt Duckor, multimedia editor&lt;/em&gt; &lt;a href=\"https://www.facebook.com/pages/Dough/147336885329768\"&gt;Dough Donuts. Always&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;em&gt;\u2014Patrick Janelle, tablet designer&lt;/em&gt; Every year I vow to ease up on the chip/cracker-type snacks (less processed wheat!) But inevitably I'm back at the Stacey's within the week. This year I'm not trying to kid myself.\u00A0&lt;em&gt;\u2014Dawn Perry, senior food editor&lt;/em&gt; I'm addicted to popcorn with nutritional yeast, salt, black pepper and Aleppo pepper. It's creeping out of my at-home movie night and into regular weeknight rotation. Did you know 2 tablespoons is the PERFECT amount for one person? It is! Just don't try to share with me, you might lose a finger. On the upside, my cereal consumption at 10 p.m. has really dropped off.\u00A0&lt;em&gt;\u2014Carl Lalli Music, food &amp;amp; features editor&lt;/em&gt; There's been a lot of talk in the news about the ills of dairy fat on health, but I absolutely refuse to give up whole milk in my coffee everyday. &lt;em&gt;\u2014Claire Saffitz, assistant food editor&lt;/em&gt; Take-out Thai. I've made huge strides in replacing crummy take-out with home-cooked meals, but life is too short to give up pad see ew. &lt;em&gt;\u2014Meryl Rothstein, senior associate editor&lt;/em&gt; In actuality there is no way I will be giving up eating entire large pizzas.&lt;em&gt; \u2014Erik Peterson, developer&lt;/em&gt; Ramen.\u00A0&lt;em&gt;\u2014Mike Ley, deputy art director&lt;/em&gt; Not giving up coffee, not giving up duck fat, not giving up butter, not giving up copious quantities of chilies, not going to stop spending too much money on luscious heirloom tomatoes once summer hits, not going to stop ENJOYING MYSELF.&lt;em&gt;\u2014Matt Gross, editor, bonappetit.com&lt;/em&gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
