Done: Keeping culinary traditions

I love food, my friends love food and most people I know list food as their favorite thing along with sex and long walks on the beach . Food is also a very important part of culture; when you think about holidays and traditions you usually think about what your grandma used to bake or what your mother or father used to burn. 

Most religions celebrate their holly days with feasts. You don't know how bad I want to be invited to a Muslim home at the end of Ramadam, I can't wait to cry honey tears from all that baklava. In Australia, they celebrate Christmas with Legs of lamb and BBQ's, I know, here in Quebec, some people cook a turkey and in Costa Rica it is the time for the much awaited Tamales.

Done : Face my greatest fear

If the tittle sounds epic it is because it was an epic experience, for me anyway, and I'm quite sure that for Nik as well, and my instructor possibly.

Well, I imagine it was pretty good for his ego. How often is that you can convince someone crying that the best they can do is jump of a 10 story building into their death bead and have a clear conscience about it. Well, it wasn't a 10 story building but it was a 4 meeter deep pool and yeah, I was wearing my scuba gear but if you have been living in real life and not reading my previous posts you would know that for me, it was just as dramatic as if he had asked me to jump out of a burning Zeppelin's into a pack of hungry hyenas.
