I have about 75 people coming over to my house tomorrow for a bake-off of the meat variety, and my house is TRASHED.  I spent last night making kimchi and sausage soup, and researching bibimbap and plotting how to protect my guests from a hurricane while still keeping most of them outside.  I spent the day yesterday shopping for food and booze for the masses, and I have spent the whole week before basically picking my toes and playing with kittens.

So since I HAVE to clean my house RIGHT NOW I decided to to this little thing I found on Cakespy.  I was going to do the original one that had the top 100 foods you should eat before you croak, but I like sweet things.  I was surprised that I have tried less than 60 of these sweet things, and less surprised that there was only one that I would never eat (which I have already eaten.  Bananas Foster is my kryptonite.  Barf.)  NOW I will start cleaning the house.  Oh and someday I might come back here and actually put recipes up!  I made the mistake of reading the book Julie and Julia, and decided that I needed to cook my way through my very own cookbook.  So instead of digging through the thousands of recipes I already have, I have been cooking recipes from the American Century Cookbook.  Of course I just couldn’t start at the beginning and work my way through either, I had to go through the entire cookbook and label them by year and then start cooking the recipes.  So, I should be back in about a year, or when I get bored with the project (oh that would be last week.  See you soon!)

I would love to see some other responses to this little top 100.  I feel like a dessert loser!

1) Copy this list into your site, including the instructions!
2) Bold all of the sweets you’ve eaten!
3) Cross out any of them that you’d never ever eat.
