Trying New Things

I like your discussion. Does signing up for myLot count as trying a new thing? I signed up about a month ago and I love it here. I never knew of myLot before then. I'm glad I signed up. But besides myLot, I've tried calligraphy and palmistry a few months back. I've gotten pretty good at calligraphy, but I'm slacking at the palmistry. I should really get back to that book. And I wanted to try learning how to give henna tattoos, but I never bought the book. Maybe I should try that again too!

Skipping backwards?? I do that in a couple dances I do.. Well today I did do something new, I made homemade black raspberry jam. I decided to do this because we have many berries this year and my neighbor told me an easy recipe her grandmother did..Fortunately I mentioned it as I was making it and a mylotter friend went more into detail and I got it done much quicker and it tastes great..(In fact, my son begged me to make berry muffins to go with the jam and now one jar is almost gone..) So I now have an easy recipe to make jam again and I am excited, because I love jam..:)

I dunno when I really tried something new. I'm sure something cooking perhaps but I'm at aloss what I did. I guess I'm boring.

Hi, AmbiePam. My husband bought some jalapeno peppers that were not so hot. I am used to eating them very hot an spicy. These ones that he has bought me has reduced the zesty flavor to a spicy but not so hot. I like it. But I love the hot ones much better instead.

Hey Amber! Gee, I don't remember when I tried something new! I think maybe the last time I did try something new was on Christmas Day when I had that "nightmare turkey disaster"! I don't know if you remember my "rancid turkey discussion" when I had invited my girlfriend for dinner and I made that turkey that looked sick and had no smell and I was afraid to eat it because I had made enough turkeys to know that there was definitely something wrong with that bird and I threw it out so we all wouldn't get sick! Well, we ended up ordering Chinese Food (what else could you get on Christmas)? My girlfriend wanted Shrimp with Black Bean Sauce and I had it before, but wasn't sure I liked it. So we ordered that and some other dishes and it turned out that I liked that the best and have been ordering Chicken with Black Bean Sauce ever since! In fact I got some Sunday night and will have the rest tonight!

i like to dig in new recipes..and lately i tried to made chocolate cupcakes with a recipe from internet..i;m not the kind of person that would totally buy it when the person that publish the recipe says it good and a must try one..i did try and with few changes,i made it!!it was nicely bake...i like trying new stuff and thing that linger in myhead now is to try rock climbing..i do want to...a lot...

Hi Ambie I really do not like trying something new to be honest But the last time I did was a couple of months ago when I was asked to taste some sort of Fish well as soon as it went in my mouth it came back out lol it was awful and no I can't remember what it was as it was so awful I did not even bother to remember

i like to try new foods whenever i can too. i am not too athletic so trying a new sport is out but i do like to try new hobbies. i learned to knit this year!

Well just recently I went bungee jumping and took up parachuting....uh, yeah, sure I love egg custard...every time I have that I think of my great-grandmother as she made that all the time...then I used to make it...even did the "spanish" version of it which is flan--once did a coffee flavored flan...yum Well as far as trying something new, I'm leaning toward a more vegetarian diet though haven't given up on meat completely but been experimenting on making homemade veggie burgers...they're really good and gosh awful filling...I only need to eat half to fill full--This website has a lot of veggie burger ideas http://vegetarian.about.com/od/maindishentreerecipes/r/BlackBeanBurger.htm Also the great thing too, they're inexpensive to make

hi ambiepam oh I love eggcustard if it has a lot of nutmeg and cinnamon in it its so good., oh so you did not water ski. well neither did I come to think of it. but I had some adobo chicken from my table mate Perla Santos, It was some of the best chicken I had ever eaten. so full' of flavor and tender and well just really delicious. I had never eaten any Philippine food before, but this was really good. Now the chicken livers and rice,no I did not like that as I learned to hate chicken livers as a child. A lot of farm people think they are great but I just do not like them.Lingon berry pie was another one but this time I just kept from barfing and pretended like crazy that it was good. As a kid I often went with my parents to the swedish church in my hometown in south dakota to the lutefisk festival for the fish and the lingonberry pies and I seemed to like both the fish and the pies. but my adult palate does not seem to care for the pie. I like the lutefisk though as I am a fish lover anyway and fish is so good for you.

I try new things frequently. I grow tired of the same foods all the time, so I will try new recipes, new foods I've never tried before, or foods I haven't tried in a long time.. things like that. I also try new work outs, new classes that I may have been afraid to try before because I didn't think I was strong enough or had enough endurance. Turns out I'm really good at them and really like them. Recently I ate at Panera Bread for the first time.. a local sandwich place. I'd heard it was really good, but had never stepped foot in there. Wow it's so ritzy. It's a fast food place, but when you eat in you get your food on ceramic dishes instead of a tray or plastic or whatever. I got a cuban chicken panini to go, and it was great. The prices are a little steep, but I think it's worth it for the quality of the food.

Last year when my husband arrived from abroad, he introduce to me a lot of things which I don't bother to try on my own. We go scuba diving together and I'm so amazed of the coral reefs and we also tried jetski. We also gone to different asian cuisines, I have tried Korean food, chinese food, thai food and japanese food. All of this because of my husband, he doesn't want me to be ignorant on this stuff. Actually, we have a lot of things piling up when he comes back. I'm looking forward for our next adventure.

Well, I was in the local supermarket the other day and tried their new self-service machines (rather than with cashier). They are kind of annoying as you had to put the groceries in a particular manner and if the machine went wrong you had to wait for the attendant to help you out. Good if you have only a few items and in a hurry. It was a whole new experience !

In my case, it's not happening yet and I'm really excited about it. It's going to be my first time to ride a plane. They say that it's nerve racking for first timers like me. Am really crossing my fingers that the weather won't be harsh on me.

Been trying the new marinates on our roast and thing and I do it longer than what it says to do it and every thing comes out very tasty

me, i think i am just not given the oppoertunity to try new things - safe ones. he he i am not afraid to try adventurous stuffs but i think i can be restrained if i think i have fear of trying that particular thing. he he

Custard pie is my son's favorite and it was also my dad's favorite....I am trying a new project...making purses from newspapers....got one almost done and it's not that hard....well I muffed the first one so have to try again after seeing some advice..besides that I have tried a few other new things.....like food too..when I went to Arizona...tried a new Italian dish...don't think I would order it again..had very spicy sausage in it!

Hi AmbiePam, Oh I love egg custard pies, yummy. When was thelast time I tried something new? I really can't remember, I guess it was something crazy as it usually is with me, I had a go on my sons new razorchop and scared myself as it went so fast, I rode his scooter to school istead of walking it so I guess these are all new things that I have done lol. New foods, non recently that I can think of. Huggles. Ellie :D

I am sitting here trying really hard to remember the last new thing I tried and I am at a loss which goes to show that I should really learn to step out of the box and be more adventurous! Aside from the beautiful vegetarian pizza my sister got me to try a couple of weeks ago, I can’t think of anything else. Experiencing new things is to be encouraged, you never know the discoveries you can make...
