Bucket List
ReplyDelete1. Get enough money to have a Bucket List. ;)
I saw your post on our group at Ravelry and thought I'd check out your bucket!
ReplyDeleteBravo for you for being open to new things! I think I take things for granted because I live in San Francisco and am exposed to so much diversity that I forget that many people live in areas where they have to seek out different things. Many don't bother, but you realize that there are things to experience!
As a matter of fact, I need to take advantage of what I have around me more often!

Hi Sweetie,
ReplyDeletePapaya is great but it needs to be ripe.
Have you had mangoes? Pomegranate (YYUMMM!). Breadfruit?
You need to add scuba diving in the tropics to your list. You haven't lived unless you've done it.
Is the whatever-basket movie good? Should I go see it?
Love Kris
I've tried Pomegranate (just ate one a couple weeks ago). Since it wasn't after I decided to do this, I didn't put it in the list, but I think i will add another list of non-ordinary things I have eaten and really like. Pomegranates are so yummy!
ReplyDeleteNot sure what Breadfruit is. I'll have to research that one!
Off to add Scuba diving to my list. (I have actually always waned to do it but was tired of listing things by the tim I got to my bucket list. LOL I've gone parasailing and snorkeling and ridden on waverunners. I take those for granted but most people haven't done them. But I am going to put that on a list too.
Lychee are the BEST! You should try them soon. My grandmother was born in China so I got exposed to weird Chinese fruit growing up, like lychee and pommelos.
ReplyDeleteI am sure there are more foods you should try, I just have to think of them. I will ponder it and get back to you. Maybe skyr, you can get it at Whole Foods and it is so low-calorie and tasty. I was so excited when it made it to the States.
For foods to try I'd say wild plum jam, choke cherry jam, Omaha Steaks in Omaha (we never let any of the good ones out of state. No lie. I had a steak house in D.C, refuse to serve me because they said I would be disappointed.) Take warm clothes when you go to San Francisco. Summers there are damp and chilly especially if you are used to heat. Santa Barbara is the prettiest place I have ever been. Mountains on one side, the ocean on the other and everything from the ground up to the trees is flowering. Have you been to D.C.? Grand Canyon? Mount Rushmore? Take the Helicopter ride over Mt. Rushmore. Expensive but really cool. You get a really different understanding of the geology. Alberta Canada where the sky goes on for miles and miles and miles. Too bad you can't hitchhike anymore. That was really exciting and interesting. Have you ever owned a motorcycle? Learning to ride and fix one is a great experiance.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE lychees! Great list of big and small. Good luck! Have you ridden a horse? Didn't see that. Will you ride an elephant in India? I'd love that.
ReplyDeleteAnnette
I have ridden a horse, but only once and it was bareback. I thought of putting that on there. Thanks for the reminder.
