Hunger Day and Bok Choy-Radicchio …Baked

It was one of those days when my stomach constantly felt empty.  I had my usual fruit with oatmeal.  Nibbled at a PR Bar, making it last until lunch time.  At lunch I made a salad fit for a table of four which wasn’t just greenery but a 4 oz. salmon fillet and half a baked sweet potato.  An hour later, my mouth was busy again with more snacking, healthy and not so healthy (think CARAMELS!).  I finally declared “ENOUGH!” Maybe it had something to do with the miles run and strength training? Hmm…maybe.  In fact, most probably and so [...]

CNYEats A Taste of Utica Angel Hair Pasta with Stewed Tomatoes

Angel hair pasta, also known as capellini. It’s thin and delicate, a light sauce should be used so you don’t overwhelm the pasta.

On the Road Again and Apricot Cream Pie

I hinted that my favorite day of the week was Friday but I’m thinking that I don’t have a favorite one whole day. Friday evenings are my favorite nights and Saturday mornings are equally as wonderful. Saturday morning, I get up when my eyes pop open which is usually too early for most but I love it. The air is fresh, it’s dark and peaceful. The best time to get started on a long run. Today was a rough start. Shane came downstairs and wanted to go out so I took him around the block then dropped him off at [...]

Run Recovery and CEimB Stir Fried Bok Choy with Tofu or Pork

A week or two before running the Boilermaker, I was getting tired.  Call that BURNOUT.  There were few days that I was enthusiastic about getting out of bed for a run.   I made myself a promise that after the Boilermaker I would take a three day break from running.   Two of those days I was successful.  By the third day, my head wanted to run, my legs wanted to go back to bed. Monday after the race, I got up to work with weights and rode the bike with Ted for 10 miles in 35 minutes.  That was a good [...]

Funny Stuff and Fruit and Cheese Pecan Topped Pie

There’s funny stuff and not so funny stuff going on around here. The funny stuff:  Two pretty good movies Ted and I didn’t know what to expect with “Just Go With It”.  We like both Adam Sandler and Jennifer Aniston but sometimes they can be in real dud movies.  Not this one. There were a few parts that were all out hysterical.  Make sure to watch for the restaurant scene with Nicole Kidman and her “husband”.  It’s stomach achingly funny. The second terrific movie we watched “Morning Glory” with Rachel McAdams, Harrison Ford, and Diane Keaton.  It started off a [...]
