My 100

I have a lot of “goals” in my life.  I want to travel to Japan and eat every sweet bean bun that crosses my path.  I want to help excavate an archaeological or paleontological site and get covered with dust.  I want to go on an adventure holiday with my hubby where we zipline across forest canopies.

I also want to conquer some cooking techniques and foods that either frighten me (lemon curd) or that I never seem to have the time for (pop tarts).  Definitely not as glamorous, but certainly more tasty!

This is my list of (nearly) 100 things that I would like to bake or cook in my lifetime.  A bit like the lists of “things to read before you die” or “places to go before they disappear”, but mine is food related.    Hey, what can I say, I love food!

I’ll mark them off as I conquer and have fun!
