#10 - Try 15 New Foods

Last night Ken made some brussels sprouts. (Apparently it's brussels, not brussel) Anyways, I'd give them a C-. Ken made them with fresh bacon bits, some chopped pistachios, onion, and olive oil. They were okay. Tolerable, I suppose, but not enough to tempt me.

#51 - Buy a queen-size bed

Check. Not much to say about that except somehow I also bought a new couch with my new bed. Thanks, parents and Grandpa!

Recipe #7 - PB&J Bars


I made these bars for a family gathering a couple of weeks ago. They were tremendously rich and about three bites was enough to get you going. Good, but probably won't make them again. Anytime you know that an entire jar of Jif and an entire jar of Smuckers is involved (and knowing the calorie content of each), makes you a little hesitant.
