30 Things to Make Before I Turn 30

I am borrowing this idea from one of my favorite food bloggers, Kelsey at Apple A Day. Kelsey recently turned thirty and made a list of thirty things she wants to make to celebrate being thirty. How cool is that? Since I will be 30 in a little over a year I decided to make my own list. I do not know where life will take the husband and I by the time I am 30. We are hoping the Navy will send us to Japan (where I can take authentic sushi making classes!!!), hence, my list! These thirty things are recipes I've either always wanted to make or think are very challenging. My husband told me that I have an adventurous spirit in the kitchen so I've decided to prove him right. I want to attempt some recipes that right now seem out of my league. Please share with me your suggestions, ideas, favorite recipes, or dishes that were triumphs for you. I have ten items left blank on my list and would love your input! I'll keep you updated on the progress. This is sure to be an adventure.
