What is on your list?

Hi everybody! I haven't checked in since I made my New Year's Resolutions and as it turns out... I probably should have made a resolution to blog more. Oops! Anyways, I wanted to share a list today that I saw on one of my new favorite food/health/life blogs, Khushboo's Blog. She posted a list of “100 Things to EAT Before You Die” that got me thinking.  How many have I had?  I've been plagued for a long time of thinking I dislike foods just by not having ever tried them.  Perhaps this list will do me some good.  I'd like to make it a resolution to try 5 more.  Let's see how that works out for me!
