I’ve had a running mental list of foodie goals and today I’m finally going to type them out and share them with the universe:

Make:

- fresh pasta
- ricotta from scratch
- herb garden (maybe)
- pizza dough from scratch (whole wheat, too)
- spaghetti and meatballs
- Indian curries
- prolific tomato plants (already underway)

Want:

- Kitchenaid pasta attachment
- large Le Creuset casserole for stews (and in place of the tagine I was obsessed with a few months ago)
- 12″ stainless steel skillet (I only have non-stick for some reason!)
- silicone pastry brush (Just saw this at my sister-in-law’s house. So easy to clean!)

On route from Amazon right now:

- 2 Silpats
- a good 8″ chef’’s knife (finally!)
- Lodge Logic Pro 20-by-10-1/2-Inch Cast-Iron Grill/Griddle
- Giada’s new cookbook
