Food Category… be gone!

April 2nd, 2008

Let’s just knock the food category out of the way. Not having any full categories defined is haunting me.

44) Plant a mini-herb garden.

Legal herbs only, bro! Groan.. sorry, sorry.

45) Plant a mini back-deck vegetable garden

Yes, this could be combined with #44, but I’m doing the herb garden as a separate beast, because I imagine each will have a different set of challenges. I’ve been doing some research online about vegetables I could plant on the back deck, which is pretty small, you can only fit 4-5 adults out there at a time, and that’s not even terribly comfortable.

So far, I think I’ll try to grow: red peppers, jalepeno peppers… Um….uhhh…. Maybe zuchinni? I think I read that those are easy to grow. Dammit! We’ll see.

46) Vegan pizza party and movie night.

Sounds fun, right? Maybe we’ll watch Brewster’s Millions then have a pillow fight.

47) Host a fancy-pants dinner party

This is an idea from my friend Injung, and I love it. This would be a several course, sit down, place cards and everything kind of dinner party. I’ll even force the guests to dress nice. Riki and I don’t even have a proper table and chairs set, so I’ll have to think about logistics of this one a bit more.

48) Make this

Have you ever seen anything so absolutely perfect or beautiful in your whole life? My god.

49) Something that is in the works, I want to see if it happens before I post about it…

YES!!! Food is done! And I like that it’s not all about me stuffing my face. I mean, it mostly is, but not the herb garden one.

And I’m a little sad, being on the print side and all, that I’ve never been able to try one of those delicious looking vegan cupcakes.

You should have a bake sale to help add more scrilla to your South American Fund

Oh, hey… er… so, it’s April now, and you’ve done 4 problems… I don’t want to be a “debbie downer” or anything, but that not a great rate…
6. Jessi | April 3rd, 2008 at 8:33 pm

oh hell no simon.

just to remind you, it’s been snowing and cold here, making it difficult to do much of anything. So you sit there in your 80 degree weather and judge me, but you’ll see.

you’ll see.

Not judging you, exactly… more like mocking you. From afar. Kidding, I know you can do it!
