I went to the gym and took it easy on my knee because it was giving me problems today. I think I just twisted wrong or something. It's better now and I'll be 100% tomorrow. I did only 15 minutes on the elliptical and 3 sets of my ab workout. I spent about 45 minutes at the gym tonight.Afterwards, I needed to go grocery shopping. I found some jars to make freezer jam and also the pectin. Guess what I'll be making this weekend!
When I got home, I was starving, so my night was a little backwards. While I was making dinner, I had my dessert...my home made granola bars. By the way, Jarrelle Sartwell, I would love your recipe for your granola. Please email it to me. Thanks!
Tonight's dinner was Penne with roasted tomatoes, garlic and white beans. Since I've never roasted tomatoes before, I wasn't sure what I was doing. I followed the recipe (as I always do the very first time), and look what happened to the roasted tomatoes (that's garlic on the top). On well, I didn't add the burnt part to the pasta, and you couldn't even taste any nasty-ness.
I added everything together in one big pot. The dinner was good, but just pretty bland. I think next time, I will add more seasoning and more garlic (I love lots of garlic).
I'm still pretty tired from last nights workout and I still have to clean the kitchen (the most dreaded part of cooking).
Every ones time / mileage for their run last month are so impressive. I can't wait to get to that point. I'm upping my mileage in about 1 week to 4 1/4 miles 3 times a week (instead of 4). I'm thinking about 4 1/2 miles on Thursday (if my body is up it). I hope it is, because my brain is saying yes, I hope my legs agree.
What's the worst thing you've ever burnt?
Wow, that pasta dish looks yummy! I love pasta. ;)
ReplyDeleteI once burnt some chicken legs on the grill so bad they were unrecognizable black sticks. I had forgotten about them…ops. The worst thing my wife burnt was her hand absent mindedly pulling out a 350 degree cookie sheet from the oven without a glove. She suffered for a couple of weeks.
ReplyDeleteYou will get there, a little bit at a time! I hope the legs cooperate for a nice little increase tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteHope the legs hold up for the increase!
ReplyDeleteI love pluots!!! Not sure what it is about them - but they are sure fun to say!
ReplyDeleteHope the knee feels better soon. Rest up!
Dinner looks amazing! And I'd love to try a pluot. Looks delish!
ReplyDeleteI think we must have been on the same wavelength yesterday. I went to the gym, went to the grocery story, ate my desset before dinner (smoothie) and then made basil, asiago, pine nut pasta. What a great night! And that pasta that you made looks REALLY good.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comment on my blog today. I am going to take everyones tips and make this a great week of running!
