fabulous food and a little frolicking: 30 before 30

I'm hitting the big three-oh in about four months. Weirdly, I've been looking forward to the start of a new decade if for no other reason than to present some sort of façade of maturity to the world!

In order to commemorate the occasion, I got a great idea from Cassie (one of the best bloggers around for those interested in food, fitness, craft and general awesomeness), who is also hitting this momentous milestone mid-year - a thirty before thirty bucket list.

I wanted my list to be fun, achievable and get me to a good place prior to commencing the next decade of my life. Some of the items represent a personal challenge (a day of veganism, for this cheese- and meat-loving gal?!), some represent pure hedonistic pursuits and others will encourage me to do the things I love, but don't always make time for. In any case, they all make me smile and I think that's a pretty good way of moving into a new chapter of one's life.

So here we go - 30 before 30, Georgia style (it's kinda like Gangnam style, only not really...):

1. ~~Make something crafty for the house~~

2. ~~Make colourful pasta from scratch~~

3. ~~Travel out of the state~~

4. ~~Participate in a fun run~~

5. Go vegetarian for a week (including one day of veganism)

6. Read at least one fiction book
