30 Things to Make While I’m 30
July 20th, 2010 by Beth
At 12:13 this morning, I started the third decade of my life. Yes, today I turned the big 3-0.
A handful of bloggers that I follow have compiled lists of cooking tasks that they want to complete during or before their 30th year. With my birthday fast approaching, I assembled a list 30 things that I want to make in the coming year.
It seems like a fun way to set some goals and finally work on some dishes I’ve been meaning to make for ages. I’ll get to stretch myself and work outside my comfort zone, trying new techniques and working with new foods (see 24 – I’m an avowed fish-hater). Along the way, I’ll document my progress on this blog and share my victories and defeats… although hopefully there will be far more of the former. 
If any of my readers have tried and true recipe suggestions for any of the items on my list, please feel free to send them my way – my contact information is listed in the left side bar.
Wish me luck!

Hmm.. Looks like a great list! I am particularly intrigued by what home-made Pad Thai would taste like..
