I’m a little over a year away from 30, so in an attempt to expand my culinary skills (and quite possibly my waist), I’ve decided to make a “30 Before 30” list, in which I’ll attempt to conquer 30 recipes or techniques that are new to me; a bucket list of sorts. I’ve made a small start to my list, but I need suggestions on what you would like to see me make, too!
Homemade Flour Tortillas- Grilled Pizza
- Homemade Hot Sauce
- French Silk Pie
- Lattice Topped Pie
- English Muffin Bread
- Bagels
- Sourdough Bread
- Chocolate Mousse
- Red Velvet Cake
- Homemade pasta noodles (I’ll either have to purchase a pasta machine or borrow one for this one)
- Beef Wellington
- Onion Rings
- Braised Short Ribs
- Homemade Veggie Burger
Help! What do you want to see me make in the next year? What have you always wanted to try, but thought was too difficult to even attempt?
Sourdough can be difficult to make especially if you have to make your own starter. I also really love croissants, but they are a lot of work and so Marsha doesn’t make them very often.
Thanks, Leo! I’ve added croissants to my list by request of you and Marsha. Hopefully I can do it, but if not, it’ll be a lesson learned 😉
Hows ’bout some swordfish, scallops and sausage?
I’ll take swordfish and scallops. Sausage can be your thing too 😉
Smoked brisket…maybe that can be my thing. I think i need a smoker 😉
I’d need a smoker honey, and that is your thing.
I think you should try lobster thermadore (not sure if that is spelt right). I am not 100% sure what it is, but it sure sounds fancy!
Thanks for the suggestion, Kristin! My understanding of it is that its a mixture of lobster with egg yolks, brandy or cognac, and mustard stuffed into a lobster shell. It sounds delicious and I’m open to trying it. Hopefully I can get a good deal on lobsters!!
I’ve got a sausage grinder and stuffer, too! You know–the gadget queen!
I know who to turn to when I’m in need 😉
I have awarded you the Versatile Blogger Award because your blog is simply awesome and everything looks delicious – come check it out here: http://justbakedbyme.wordpress.com/2012/04/06/brown-sugar-cookies/
Definitely think you should add a curry dish my friend – Indian food is not easy 😉
Maybe try a garlic naan, a seasoned lentil or vegetable curry and top it off with gulab jamun 😀
Happy Easter!

Thanks for the suggestion. Naan would be a wonderful addition! Happy cooking 🙂
