Buy a block of apartments and rent them to young mums, Start a charity to offer "call in" cholesterol and blood pressure checks to the workplace, Fund a massive campaign to abolish the death penalty, Give a stranger a thousand euro every ten minutes for one day...

Hey I like your style! I would have LOVED for Joan Baez to play at my wedding!

Thanks for the tag. I'm a bit behind of them so I'll add it to my list.

On a side note, your recipes and photos are DELICIOUS (literally and figuratively)! You should seriously consider playing PhotoStory Friday tomorrow with one of these (if, of course, you need a post and want to)!
