#46 Eat Fondue
Hard to believe I've never eaten fondue until this evening. After putting back my fair share of chocolate & cheese, I can say that I understand what all the hype's about (and why Ween decided to name an album after it). Additionally, only 4 days into the new year and I have 2 down on my #32 goal of dining at 10 new restaurants in Philly. Last night was Korean BBQ at Kim's and tonight was Melting Pot...

NEW LIST!!!
So here we are, it's 2013, and Karen has spurred me to start a new list and actually try to stick to this one.

Updated List/Bonus List
My original list had "buy a printer" and "buy a scanner" as separate items. Since I bought an all-in-one printer/scanner/copier it doesn't seem right to cross two items off the list. So I combined "printer/scanner" and added "Do all the hikes in my PA Day Hikes book" at #33. I also added a few items to my bonus list...
