I’ve been meaning to sit down and write a list of things I’d like to do, cook, eat, drink, bake and otherwise this summer.

But, for some reason, I had yet to actually get down to doing it.  Then, I read Molly’s post about her list for the summer.  Not only does she have some great ideas, but she also inspired me to actually write a list of my own.  I particularly liked her break-down of the “eating-and-drinking part” and the “doing part” because, well, that pretty much sums up my life right there.

This will be our first real summer in San Diego and with a baby, so I’d like to enjoy it as best I can.

This is a preliminary list of all (well, most) of the things I’ve had bouncing around in my head that needed a place in this world.  They needed to be noticed, validated.  Wait, are we still talking about my summer list?

As with all my lists, I’m sure I will need to update this as the summer progresses.  Can you guess which food/drink I started with? Check back soon for the recipe!
