Live and Learn plus Honey Glazed Cod with Sliced Apples

I said to myself on Sunday “No more fooling around! When the alarm goes off, you get up, get dressed and do the workout as planned.” I’m only 8 weeks away from my THIRD marathon and it’s time to get serious. That little bit of self admonition has kept me honest this week. So far, so good. One thing I learned about my running ability this summer is that I’m not a fast starter. All that you read about pacing yourself and going out too fast, paying dearly at the end, rings SO true for me. But, like most things [...]

Bike Fit and Slow Roasted Salmon with Leek Sauce

Bike Fit: Oh! THAT was the problem Ted and I made an appointment with Margaret Thompson, USA Cycling Licensed Level 1 Coach who has won 8 National Championships and 2 silver medals at UCI Master World Championships. She helped perfect our bike fits as well as discussed our goals for cycling. Ted – the triathlete and me-the runner. It was a successful session. On Ted’s bike, there were just a couple of minor adjustments to his shoe clip angle as well as handle bars and a little tweaking of the saddle. On my bike, there were more drastic adjustments such [...]

CEimB Cioppino

This week’s Craving Ellie pick is by Margaret of Tea and Scones. Such a cozy little site with good things always cooking. Cioppino. I kept wanting to add an “h” in the spelling since it’s pronounced “Cho-pee-no”. After you get the spelling right, you can find out what it is: Italian fish stew. It’s one of my favorites and Ellie’s recipe didn’t disappoint. 1 TBS olive oil 1 onion, chopped 2 celery stalks, chopped 4 tsp minced garlic 1 TBS chopped fresh thyme (A thyme tip: Take the fresh little twig of thyme and simply rub your fingers down the [...]

Holiday Prep and Skillet Salmon with Braised Mushrooms and Fennel

I love the holiday season. It’s approaching so quickly. It seems with every year older I get, the faster the days speed past. It’s not fair. In 10 years, I expect to close my eyes on January 1st and wake up sometime in December. With the holidays comes the family ritual of asking everyone what they would really like to receive from Santa Claus. This gets tedious since Mum and Dad buy what they want, when they want. To make matters worse, my dad’s birthday is on Christmas day so he’s a two-fer. Mum’s birthday is January 2nd, so that’s [...]

CNYEats A Taste of Utica: Grilled Scallops

This week our recipe is on page 74 of A Taste of Utica Posted by psikopy (no spelling error, I promise) This recipe can be either an appetizer or a meal for two. If you aren’t familiar with cooking scallops, this is a great time to start. Tips: Rinse scallops and pat dry. Try to get as dry as possible because if you don’t the scallop will retain water and you won’t get a nice caramelization on the outside when grilled. Fresh scallops are best. 1 lb Scallops 1/2 lemon cut in to wedges 2 cloves of garlic, sliced thin [...]
