Jinx and Tuna Casserole

Wow I felt good Thursday! I had an appointment with the Sports Doc so I was able to sleep in until 5. I was all set to run 8 treadmill miles since the weather was a wintery mix of nastiness, when Shane came around the corner and said “Are we going out now?” *Shane is a dog so…well, you know I kind of put those words in his mouth but I’m really sure that’s what he would have said if he could. I put my water bottle down, put on clothes to prevent getting totally soaked (love rain gear) and [...]

Avocado Tomato Dip and GF Brownies

As promised, here is my most interesting running schedule for the week: Monday: Ran 6.72 broken up into treadmill mills and road miles. Tuesday: Ran a 2 mile T/M warm up. Set the pace between 8.00 and 8.06 and ran 4 x 1 mile sets. Rest 1 minute in between. Cool down 2.41 miles outside with Shane. Total miles 8.76. I got a nasty blister on my left foot and had to run upstairs for a band-aid at the end of 3 miles. That’s one good reason to run in the house – all medical assistance is right at your [...]

A Visit To Washington DC

Ted and I are in Washington DC. My first visit and Ted's second. We plan on seeing the museums, seeing the monuments, doing a lot of walking, and just plain enjoying ourselves. We are staying at a B&B called Chester A. Arthur House, a small B&B in the English tradition. The building is only one of three left on Logan Circle that have not been converted to condos or put into full time commercial use. The building has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1972. Since we arrived late in the afternoon, we decided to take a foot [...]

Restaurant Review for Valley View

As we were getting ready to go to dinner last night, I looked down to make sure the shoes looked ok with the dress and look what I found: I DID bathe but it won't come off! Click on the picture to enter for some goodies from Old Bay. I have offered a review of Valley View restaurant before because it is conveniently located from our house, the staff are so friendly, the food is good -reasonably priced gourmet cuisine, it is clean, a fun place to eat and we love it. Last night's dinner deserves a standing [...]

Tofu in Special Seasoning

In the gift package from Old Bay, I received a tattoo. Doesn't it look great? It's on my right ankle. Unfortunately Ted won't take me any where until I remove it. Anyway, click on the picture to enter the GIVEAWAY for a chance to win the beach bag, towel, seasoning and lots more. In reading about Old Bay, I discovered it is recommended for use on any protein and not just fish. Guess I was in one of those ruts similar to the way we think of a screwdriver: It's JUST for screwing in screws. Well not so... it makes a [...]
