Living a Little Greener has invited us to join her in a challenge to "Try something new for 30 days," as inspired by
Matt Cutts: Try something new for 30 days | Video on TED.com. I love the idea, so I'm IN!
Maybe something new I do or discover this month will make this my
BEST YEAR EVER.
While I'm thinking of what my own "something new" will be, I'll just share a few of my favorite pics from the Ohio State Fair.

Okay, drum roll please, I've decided my "something new" will be ____________. Well, I can't decide! There are LOTS of things I've never done before but always wanted to do.
For instance:
- Always wanted to try my hand at making these from scratch: pretzels (or German brezels), Challah, bagels, croissants, Danish pastries, doughnuts, jell-o.
- Always wanted to cook enough in one day to "fill the table" with food (I've no doubt done this, but there's no picture to show for it).
- Always wanted to see how much "spring cleaning" can be accomplished in one day (more of a curiosity question, NOT a fantasy).
- Always wanted to see what it's like to exercise for 6 hours in one day (that's how long the contestants on Biggest Loser exercise, which astonishes me!)
- Always wanted to sleep out in the open, under the stars.
- Always wanted to go hang-gliding.
To make this easy on myself, I've decided that my "something new" will not be one thing, but instead will be
a mind-set to do at least one new thing each day. Could be as simple as dipping a spoon into that jar of Mar-mite I bought but haven't had the guts to try.
Whether I'm baking something new, trying a new craft or tasting something new, this should be an interesting 30 days. Beginning today. Now, anyone know how I'm supposed to eat Mar-mite?

I don't know how you are supposed to eat Marmite, but I would try a teeny bit on a spoon first. I cannot even think of exercising for six hours in one day!! Nice pictures.
Something new for thirty days, I absolutely love it. This is going to be fun to watch.
I look forward to seeing what you get up to in the coming days. Sounds like you've got a lot of fun ideas already. I've never covered the table with food either and I think that is something I'd like to try.
So looking forward to seeing what you'll be up to....but hang gliding? Oh dear. No thank you. I'm so scared of heights. I can't even WATCH people doing that.
Loved the kitchen display. I'm with you on that. I LOVE kitchen gadgets and the old stoves. Wow!
Try eating a smitching of marmite spread on toast. That`s how kids eat it here in Britain. Personally, I hate the stuff, but my youngest son always had it on toast.
Marmite on toast or sandwich (marmite and cheese sandwiches are nice). But tip - don't spread it on too thick. Just a thin layer. It is quite strong.
My mum has the yummiest cheese and marmite muffins. Very very yummy!
What is Mar-mite? I think this will be fun for you.
They exercise 6 hours no wonder they lose weight wow I did not know that. CRAZY> B
