CNYEats A Taste of Utica Anginetti: Lemon Drop Cookies

A light, zesty cookie to celebrate any occasion. Since today is Sunday, we’ll celebrate SUNDAY! or…if you read this Monday, celebrate Monday! Get the idea? Posted by Gerry and found on page 184 of our A Taste of Utica cookbook. The first direction you’ll see is regarding the seemingly large amount of baking powder in the recipe. “8 teaspoons of baking powder is the correct amount. It does sound like a lot but the cookies will come out nice and light. The dough should be soft and sticky. Add a little flour on to your fingers. They are very good [...]

Should Have Run a Marathon and Energy Meal Cookie

I had a unique experience today. I ran 18 miles and I felt terrific. In fact, my Garmin chimed at mile 8 and I thought it was mile 7. The weather was cooler at 52 degrees and I ran with Shane those first 8 3/4 miles. After dropping Shane off and setting out again, it took me a mile or two to get my head back into it since Shane almost pulled me over in the driveway in pursuit of deer. This freaked me out since I look at the scar from the last fall I had earlier in the [...]

CNYEats A Taste of Utica Italian Chocolate Cookies

Saturday I ran my longest long run before Air Force Marathon on September 15th. It was 22 miles in perfect weather without any major aches or pains. Shane and I ran a slow 6 miles to start the morning then I continued on, incorporating some hefty inclines in my run. The steepest part of the hills turned into a run/walk effort. 22.02 miles with a moving pace of 9:58. Slow but within my training pace range. I had to stop on Sessions Road. It was such a wonderful down hill with a great view and that wonderful fresh, “cow natural” [...]

Running Blind and Peanut Butter Cookies

Trying to see the stats on my Garmin was getting more difficult in the dim morning light. I’ve gone months refusing to accept that my eyes are changing and reading has become more of a strain. Finally, I took the plunge and asked the doc about multi-focal lenses. Now I’m in the transition phase when my cornea may take up to a month to reshape itself back to normal (I was wearing the CRT lenses – night lenses that reshape your eye so you don’t wear contacts during the day). This morning’s run was quite the challenge. Shane was my [...]
