Note to Self - Cook!

When I come back from all my travels, and have a few weeks before school starts, I need to try some of these wonderful recipes I've come across on other blogs:

(If it's marked through, it means I've made it!)

I also have a couple of cookbooks I have to try, including one that was sent to me so I could try some recipes and write a review. I'll try to get that done, too.
