Re: the last one.
I saw a cool shirt someone had the other day that said:
"When was the last time you did something for the first time?"
Yay lists! maybe I could make a food you haven't had before, after Thailand. Or even get a recipe from Hat and make it while I'm home in the fall! Have you ever had homemade spring rolls before?
