Got the idea from the "one decade" thread, on the basis of what I thought it would be when I first read the title...well, it wasn't what I thought it was, but I thought it would be an alright idea.
One decade...passes...
Realistically, where would you like to be...having accomplished what? Things to have done, jobs, family related stuff....anything that comes to mind...tell me about who and what you'll be in a decade if all goes according to plan.
*Complete chef qualifications, and a couple of specialties.
*Stable employment if anything...I would LIKE to start my own small catering organisation, and take on a few apprentices too, I'd like to teach in some way or another...I'd like to offer guidance to yknow, folks like me who didn't neccessarily realise and/or meet their potential quite as early as they should've, or just those with a genuine interest.
*I hope to have done some travelling, first of all around my own country as there's still a lot to see here, we have a pretty vast environmental range, despite advertisements to that would make us out to be 50% desert, 50% beach...then maybe Japan (learn a few sashimi/sushi styles, buy some knives, keepers), someplace that's snowy all the time, I suppose amsterdam would be fun, might do a few locations in the states, I wanna hit up N.O and see it fully recovered, maybe some areas of northern europe, NZ to check out my chicks home town...after finding it.
Drink from an arctic glacier.
*I want to buy a HUGE motorhome...I mean big enough to make it my place...Not saying I don't want to own any land, that's another one on the "list", but yeah...a nice, big mobile dwelling. Equipped with EVERYTHING, spacious kitchen a must.
*One child.
*Get a BIG dog, maybe two.
*Better fitness level...underway now, probably have it done easily in five...but hey, giving myself more'n enough time, I'd like to get back into muay thai again.
*Find a place to chill...like a holiday spot...someplace here. Maybe buy a small amount of land there. Something quiet, with water, and old buildings. Someplace you can catch and cook your own fish.
*Eat pretty much everything I haven't tried...or, well...that's impossible, but, try a damn good amount of interesting things.
*Probably do the marriage thing...I dunno...not a huge priority for either of us, keep the folks off our ass...can't say much about a wedding though...if there's ANY kinda ceremony it's gonna be TINY, and not church related. We'll spend more cash on the after party...
*Have a savings account, no specific amount in it, just to "have" one...I think it's something everybody ought to look into eventually.
*I wanna go someplace I can plant a tree for every year I've been alive, and continue the process throughout the years. Even if it's not a properly "organised" thing...something I'd like to do.
*Walk-in hydroponics bay...I want ANY herb I'd use, fresh and ready, and in abundance.
*I'd like to continue the writings and recipes that'll eventually go into a cookbook, can't say I ever want to write more'n one, but the one I do write, I'd like to be a good read, memorable, and contain lots of good things one can eat without having to induce a heart attack.
That's pretty much the "big" stuff...
