School of Fish and After the NYC Marathon 2014

It wasn’t long once we were back in the hotel room after running the TCSNYCMarathon that I received a message from my nephew. He and his girl friend were in the City and waiting to meet us. Now trying to clean up quickly and refresh, getting ready to go out “on the town” walking mind you, after traversing 26.2 miles on hard pavement is somewhat of a task. We did it anyway since I love my nephew, Sam. His girlfriend Megan is pretty darned special as well. We met at Hudson Place Restaurant. Sam, Megan and Ted enjoyed fresh blue [...]

Skillet Cod with Orange Zest

This past weekend Ted and I went on a mattress hunting expedition. It was unsuccessful. We went to Sleep Number Bed and left in complete shock. $6,000 for a mattress?! Not for us. We also went to our cell phone provided since we received an offer on the new iPhone good thru 9/30/2014. Turned out that deal didn’t apply to us. Hmm!???! …and WHY did they send it to us in the first place?! Another disappointment. So we ended up at a local football game: Utica College vs. Brockport. We stayed for most of the 2nd half with UC ahead. [...]

A Cold Day in … Slow Cook Salmon with Chickpeas and Greens

The temperatures will be challenging for Saturday's Heart Run and Walk. Starting at a mere -5 degrees F (can you say "Brrrrr!") and rising to a whopping 30 degrees (a heat wave!). Since I know we run slower in the cold, just as in extreme heat, I wondered HOW MUCH slower. Here is the information found on LIVESTRONG. Overall Effects Both heat and cold can affect your running times, with a temperature of 50 degrees Fahrenheit being optimal, Coach Tom Schwarz states. The lower the temperature, the greater the effect. According to a formula Schwarz devised, you can expect a [...]

Union Square Cafe: Smoked Trout, Vegetable, Squash Gratin

It looks like a dip doesn’t it? I guess that might be an idea. This dish can be served as a hearty and healthy appetizer, with a little modification of course. If the ingredients were all chopped small, then offering the Gratin with crudités or crackers might prove to be the hit of the party. Serves 4 – as a meal 8 – 12 oz Smoked Trout, peel off back skin and break into pieces. 4 TBS extra virgin olive oil – separated 2 tsp minced garlic 1 onion, chopped 1 bunch (about 8 – 10) green onions, chopped and [...]

Weekend Riding and Smoked Fish Fritters with Beet Vinaigrette

Do your weekends pass by way too fast? Saturday was such a nice morning, the windows were open, the birds were chirping, and I was so warm and cozy under the covers. The moment was ruined as soon as Shane discovered I was awake and decided it was time to get up and get out. With both dogs hooked around my waist, we took off to the golf course for an easy run. Shane was able to chase the ducks and Zoey was able to run ahead then back, bark at me, and run away again. We all enjoyed [...]

Healthy Does Happen in Vegas

No, we’re not in Las Vegas although it does sound like a great idea. I was thinking about being on vacation and absolutely trashing a healthy diet. Why do we do it? We can surely find ways to celebrate our freedom from work and other stresses while on vacation other than over indulging. Plus, there are so many great healthy food experiences unique to the places we go. It’s time to do some taste testing. Las Vegas, where food and drink seem to offer endless temptation offers top rated, 5 star restaurants and number one Chefs. This is the place [...]
