First, a food source (Hey, I haven't done TOO badly on the food theme for the month!): Eat Well Guide. During the audience question and answer session with Al Gore in Austin, FoodGal was lucky enough to ask a question about beef. Specifically whether he was aware that the beef industry is actually the biggest... Continue Reading →
My weekend in pictures
That's all folks. My view from 11:30-5:00 on Sat and from 8-4 on Sunday. By the end of Sunday most of the racks were empty. Aren't you all so glad I share my oh so exciting life with you? Weeeeeeeeeee! For once I am saying Thank Gawd Its Monday!! Oh, and 2 more days! 2... Continue Reading →
Move 2008 – Week 30
My 4lb hand weights. I've had them for AGES. I honestly have no idea when I got them - pre Sportsboy I think! But this is the first year that they have gotten regular use. If I keep this up, I may graduate to 5 lbs weights! I upped the reps I do and added... Continue Reading →
Next to last July dream dinner
Hawaiian Chicken. This dish was all inclusive - I added nothing. Well, OK, I felt like having edamame too 🙂 The sauce included black beans, pineapple, green onions, red peppers and garlic in a chicken broth base. Quite good. I took the plunge and ordered up a bunch of food from the August menu. Unfortuantely... Continue Reading →
This week in politics – so (not) proud of SD Representatives!
Before I do something that I said I would not do (ahem, it's a political topic, going back on my word is not inconsistent with the topic!), I must address the week's big events. Well, really just one Big Event. The most over hyped overseas trip by a presidential candidate EVER! Now, let's be real... Continue Reading →
Heartache
First, watch this. I dare you not to cry. I've seen this a few places already and it is totally cleared by Snopes so I will share this viral video which will tug your heart: Meanwhile, here is a story closer to home of people who need some help. A family in the Bay area... Continue Reading →
Dream Dinner #..whatever! – Steak Gorgonzola
The steaks marianating. This dish was on the "express aisle" for the month of July which meant that everything was pre-mixed for me so I have no idea what is in this! It looks oil based though - kind of like an italian salad dressing. After 10 minutes under the broiler - with gorgonzola butter... Continue Reading →
The wall
I guess it's not bad that it took me until the 23rd of the month to hit a posting wall. Well, it's not just a posting wall really, it's just a wall in general. Vacation is awesome, but then you come home to things that piled up while you were gone. Newspapers, recorded shows, other... Continue Reading →
Back to the food theme – recipe time!
Pasta Bolognese! Since I got home too late on Sunday to have a Dream Dinner thawed out and ready for Monday night, I knew I would have to cook on my own. That worked out fine since I typically crave pasta after I travel for whatever reason! Now, everyone has their own opinion on bolognese.... Continue Reading →
Final pics from Austin
From the last night on the town. Bill with a carriage pulling horse. He was so funny all weekend getting completely distracted by any and all furry objects!! It was really quite sweet. Then Bill with Kid Oakland. We met KO at a party being hosted by Jim Hightower who was very sweet and friendly... Continue Reading →
