Sometimes I have these great ideas, and I think that a new project will be cool. I map out a plan in mind, and then FAIL hard… Here’s three to share.

12 Months 12 Projects

Shortly after I had Agnes, I looked around our current address and decided I couldn’t take it any longer. We needed to redecorate every square inch of the house. I made a list of 12 projects that I would tackle in 12 months, and I didn’t get a single one of them done…

Nicostuff’s Fried Chicken Quest

This one made it onto facebook and through the twitter-verse, but it never quite made it to Nicostuff, here’s why.

I had this cool idea… I currently live in the fried chicken capital of the world, and I thought it would be fun to check out all of the surrounding communities Fried Chicken restaurants, and see if my homemade fried chicken is better. I made a short list of about 6 places to go, and kept busy perfecting my recipe, and I headed out to enjoy our first meal on the quest for the best.

I drove about 12 miles away for a local favorite, brought it home, presented it to the family, and I got food poisoning. They ate the tenders, I had the one that was still on the bone. I was brutally sick for a good week and a half, and thus the quest was ended.

P.S. My chicken is the best!

Lastly….

February’s 2011 No Take-Out Month

I had a plan, I had a great menu, I had a family that couldn’t take it one minute longer. We made it to day 25, and I caved and picked up donuts, thus ending the project…I might just go and get Taco Bell for dinner and call it officially done.

Here’s to a new day, and maybe a noggin full of new projects. Some I might actually accomplish.
