It Took Me a Minute
I’m getting a handle on WordPress just as I’m getting a handle on the beginning of my 52 Adventures.
My first one is tonight. The adventure was to join a writing group in my new hometown of Chicago. I meet tonight for the first time with my group. Woot!
On my still growing list:
join a sport
get behind the scenes at a history museum
ride the L from end to end
run a 10 miler, maybe a 1/2 marathon
ride my bicycle on the mean streets of chicago (as opposed to trails and paths!)
join a writing group
go on a blind date
volunteer with an LGBT organization
submit three pieces of writing for publication
learn to make real part appetizers (hopefully containing bacon)
learn to make a real dessert (that is not made of milk and cream and…ice)
take a mini road trip to see a historical landmark
eat a whole piece of fish without complaining
Thats the list so far i have so many more adventures ahead. I’m thrilled.

As far as the bacon part hors d’oeuvres are concerned— bacon wrapped dates stuffed with chorizo are a huge party pleaser. Take pitted dates, stuff with some Spanish chorizo/Portuguese chourico (not Mexican chorizo), wrap in bacon, affix with toothpick. Seriously the easiest thing ever– then just brown them in a saute pan, or even throw them all on a cookie sheet and pop under the broiler, flipping once. So easy, and ALWAYS a huge crowd pleaser– doesn’t get any better than salty sweet! (Especially when the salty is bacon…) Give it a go!
Maybe I should just be an adventure-facilitator? 🙂
