Guest: Brussels Sprouts with Bacon, Garlic and Shallots (p. 159/November issue)
Mary: Wine
My raves and faves .. the Brussels sprouts and the Hummingbird Cake. Since the cake had pineapple in it, I didn't think I'd like it. But it must have somehow dissolved or something as I didn't taste it at all. I brought the couscous arugula salad and I thought it was very blah. Wouldn't repeat that recipe. I brought a guest as we are at 7 members right now. My friend Tina.
Here are some photos from the evening ...
It's always a highlight of the month sharing food and laughter with friends.
Stepping back ... Sunday's 20.61 mile run mid-afternoon. Yikes. That was tough. I'd been on my feet since 5:30 AM but I really wanted to get it done. I ran down to the Mayowood trail then ran the Lace-Up Half Marathon route, adding on a bit here and there, and then home. So glad I got it done.
Brian and Kurt came down from St. Cloud on Saturday evening. I met them along with Shannon and Mark at Whistle Binkie's North after work.
Lace-Up. Wow. What a wonderful event, wonderful turnout, wonderful volunteers, wonderful cause. Just plain WONDERFUL!! Twelve River Runners came down from St. Cloud to participate. I was so glad to have them here.
Thank you to everyone that made the day such a success. Here are some photos.
Yesterday morning, 10 slippery slow miles in the fresh snow. I think I'll hit the track this evening, but probably just run in circles ... no speedwork. I'm tapering you know. : ) Jay and Brad bought their tickets for Napa yesterday. Yippee!! It's gonna be FUN!!!
Have a wonderful day.
