Back on January 8th we bad a blizzardy weekend. I was snowed in, it was cold, windy and we had a lot of snow. But all in all it was not too much to complain about because we had been having a mild winter and not too much snow to speak of. I was hoping…… Continue reading Snow Days
Is this a long week for anyone else or is it just me? Just wondering. So. On Tuesday I had lunch with my friend Nichole and she recapped her most recent success running the Philadelphia Marathon the weekend before Thanksgiving. I had butternut squash soup and a piece of Arnold’s double protein bread while we…… Continue reading The week so far…
This week is so busy with work stuff, but the nice thing about being busy with work is that the week goes by pretty quickly. In some ways it does not feel like Tuesday night, but at the same time I am sort of exhausted. Anyhow, back to the rest of the day… After lunch…… Continue reading Grilled Cheese
I had a great run today in my new Brooks. 3.25 miles in 35 minutes, I was definitely going slowly and walked a couple of times, too. The exciting news is that I accomplished 3.25 miles in NEW SHOES and have no new blisters. Sometimes I have trouble with ‘spring running’. Today it was 50…… Continue reading Running, cookies and lunch
I forgot to mention a couple of things in my earlier post. First and most importantly: dinner tonight (chicken, potato pancakes made from scratch, and asparagus) was amazing. It was one of the best meals I have had in a long time – definitely the best meal I have had at home since before I…… Continue reading A couple of things…
What a combination, right? Last night I made the dough for the sugar cookies. Here is a pointer – once you are done making the dough, roll it into a ball before you chill it – because other wise you are stuck scraping the mixing bowl for chilled dough. It’s not that much fun, and…… Continue reading Cookies and Onion Soup…
I have been doing a lot of baking, so much so that I have to go to the grocery store and get MORE sugar, eggs, and some heavy cream. That’s right folks – cupcakes and cookies are coming down the pipe line… I already have the cookie dough made. It has been chilling over night.…… Continue reading Sugar…
When I am nervous I tend to cook and bake. I was (and still am) super nervous today. I do not like it when the Patriots play the Jets. I do not like it when the Patriots play the Steelers, either – but I am taking it one game at a time. I am not…… Continue reading Football
I have fallen right back into one of my old habits during the last couple of days of my vacation. Naturally, I am such a night person. Especially when it comes to reading, writing and blogging. I am so much more productive after 10:30 or 11 o’clock in the evening. However, during the week (when…… Continue reading Old Habits Die Hard…
Hi All – I guess I’m nearly caught up now. I worked late tonight – so my running / workout schedule is totally messed up for this week! Hopefully I will get back on track tomorrow. For dinner tonight I decided to make a salad. The salad consisted of spinach, broccoli (my favorite!), cherry tomatoes,…… Continue reading Wednesday night
