It was wonderful. Crispy baguette, crunchy cucumbers, tender ham and fresh herbs...mmmm mmmm. I was truly excited. I was proud that I branched out of my safe little zone of the known. As I sat there devouring my new find I reflected on my challenge. 55 new things in and I am realizing how special it really is to just push yourself a little bit even if it's just getting me a mi.
What was once a challenge to do something new each day to get over one horrible year...is now going on its third year! Come with me on the journey to break old habits, make new connections and live life while pushing myself out of my comfort zone each and every day.

Eat a Bánh mì
When I watched the Great Food Truck Race I learned something new about food. There was a Vietnamese sandwich that I was completely unaware of up to this point in my 38 years. AND IT HAS CILANTRO. How could I have been so ignorant to miss something that highlights the pure joy such as cilantro. Today as I perused the menu for the usual familiar things I tend to stick with... THERE IT WAS!!! It didn't dawn on me at first. I was reading the description backwards for some reason almost as if it was setting me up for the taaaaa daaaa as I read the title. I plopped my menu down, perked up in my seat and smiled at the new culinary adventure I was about to partake in.
