RECENT NOTES

Note added to Ride a really big roller coaster:

I rode almost everything at Knott's, but I'm not counting them because they're sort of small. I will count one of the mega coasters at Six Flags.

Note added to Be UTI free for six months:

Been free since 08/01/12 at least. Maybe a little longer, but we'll count that day. If I don't get another one until 02/01/12, then success!

Note added to Go on a hike:

Had to change it, because I may not become a CPA at all. Depends on how becoming a CFP goes.

Note added to Buy a new car:

I might be able to get Dad's Explorer instead, which I will count as the same thing.

Note added to Eat at 10 new restaurants:

We went to the little Mexican food place in Fullerton. Very authentic taquitos. Too authentic. The chicken inside wasn't flavored! But the tortilla outside and the toppings...(more)

Note added to Read a non-fiction book:

I read The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People! Very interesting read, and I plan to try and implement the habits. :)

Note added to Learn to contour with makeup:

I need a few good makeup brushes, plus a matte bronzer, blusher, and highlighter. Plus a small eyeshadow palette (neutral) to do my eyes with. Also, I should really get an e...(more)

Alton Brown has a recipe for this and the broth base (called dashi) on foodnetwork.com

Note added to Grow a bonsai tree:

I love the Japanese red maple.

Note added to .:

Classic shape with mostly classic candy decorations. I like the idea, however, of using butterscotch to melt for windows and spreading icing in a scalloped shape for the roof...(more)

Note added to Make croissants from scratch:

wikihow has pictures with the process with instructions that make the most sense. Maybe get a recipe from somewhere else.

Note added to Make my own dumplings (the kind from Panda Express):

Okay, it's pretty much gyoza or potstickers that I mean. You'd think I'd learn the names of these foods since I like them so much.

Note added to Grow a tree from seed:

Either a sugar maple or a fruit tree that doesn't require grafting later (do these exist). Or I'll grow multiple trees to graft onto rootstock later. BUT probably a sugar maple.

Note added to Go on a hike:

I might have to change this to "Get into graduate school to got my master's in accountancy"

Note added to Make a car emergency kit:

A good flashlight, a gallon of water, basic tools, fix-a-flat, road flares, and a first aid kit, plus a laminated list of info to get in an accident (what information are you ...(more)

Like this one!! Except I have no idea how to do that gabled roof. :P But cute like this with the little window details.

Note added to Create a personal cookbook:

There's a place you can have your book printed, as a gift or for the purpose of getting published. I'm not sure how fancy I want to get, but I still liked that old-fashioned ...(more)

Note added to Learn to make sushi:

sushiencyclopedia.com seems to have a lot of good information. I need to learn to roll them right and I know that Whole Foods sells the ingredients, including the sushi grade...(more)

Note added to Make spaghetti sauce from scratch:

I think I meant Pasta Bolognese sauce, not really a basic tomato basil sauce. Anne Burrel on Food Network has a highly rated recipe.

Note added to Own all seven Harry Potter books:

I am missing one and three and I think I might want to get a new four.

Note added to Create an inspiration board or book:

Probably will buy some old magazines from the library for a quarter a piece.

Note added to Save an emergency fund:

A baby one of $1000 before starting to pay debt, and then a full 3 to 6 months fund after debt is paid. Not sure how much that will need to be until I get to that point.

Note added to Pay off all debt:

This will be a crazy thing to do. Mostly student loans, but there might be little old debts. I will have to order all my credit reports to make sure I pay everything. Also,...(more)

Note added to Graduate with my bachelor's degree:

May 2013

Note added to Take the CFP accelerated program and pay with cash:

Using Fluenz system

http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/tyler-florence/the-ultimate-beef-wellington-recipe2/index.htmlTyler Florence's recipe, so you know it's good.

Mushroom ravioli. Portobello maybe. I could try chicken, but meat raviolis are always weird and dry. MAYBE shrimp and crab ravioli?

Note added to Begin couponing:

Saved 70% last week, but no red plum or smart source this week. :-|

Note added to Use my microdermabrasion machine every week:

So, that's 142 times! Should be twice a week, but if I have hives again or a breakout or even a little bit of sunburn, it's a bad idea. :-/

Note added to Enter recipes into 10 different food contests:

Johnsonville No Ordinary Burger contest (1/10) Except I didn't have a photo! :(

Went to another Korean BBQ place (2/10)

PROGRESS UPDATES /

Create a personal cookbook

A goal of Wendy N on their 101 Things in 1001 Days list with a status of Not Started.

There's a place you can have your book printed, as a gift or for the purpose of getting published. I'm not sure how fancy I want to get, but I still liked that old-fashioned looking cookbook from b&n where it looked like a "potion" book or something like that.

I want to full on bind it, but not for a while because I want to try all these recipes first.

This is a perfect tutorial, along with a good tutorial for printing and making the signatures, I could easily make a book.
