On My List...

I have an ever-growing mental list of things I would like to make, things I would like to eat and places I would like to go.  As part of Onions And Chocolate version 2011…I’ll start keeping track of these things here.  I’m always open to suggestions and thoughts…so please, if you feel there is not enough _________ (bacon for example) on the blog…comment, and let me know that I’m ignoring pig gold and you’d like to see more!
