Mushrooms for Dinner

For dinner last night, I made Mushroom Strudel. It sounded pretty good, so I decided to go with it. I cooked up the mushrooms, garlic and onion. Then, I put everything together and popped it in the oven.

While I waited for it to cook (only about 15 minutes), I ate one of my favorite summer time salads with a beer.

By the time I finished the salad, dinner was out of the oven. I sliced it and plated it. It was pretty good. Just make sure that you let it cool enough before biting into it (extremely hot).

Since I am still sore from paint ball this weekend, and I don't want to risk injury, I am going to take this week off of the gym. Since I am not injured now, I don't want to be. I wasn't going to have a long run this weekend, so I'm not missing anything major. Running around (mostly sprinting) and doing squats for 5 hours was a huge workout for me.

What do you like to use mushrooms for?

Paint Balling

When we got to the paint ball field, we were the first ones there. The guys were so nice. They let us go out on the field and play each other. Jason use to play all the time. So, I was pretty scared to get shot. I've seen so many welts and bruises from his game. My very first shot was from Jason and it was in the leg. The second shot was also from Jason and it was in the mouth. It went up through the mouth guard of the mask and inside my mouth and up my nose. The hits didn't hurt nearly as bad as I thought.

Here are some shots that Jason took during the last game.

Here we are.

Here I am. During one of the other games, there was the older guy (about 45), and I was hiding while he was shooting at one of my team mates. I shot him in the belly and he didn't seem very happy with me. He told me it was going to be a huge welt and bruise, but it was a nice shot. This was my proudest kill of the day. He never stopped talking about it the rest of the day.

This is how good I am (just kidding).

I was the only girl playing, so it seemed, at times, that everyone was aiming for me (which I didn't mind). It was such a fun day, and my body is so happy from that workout (running around and doing a million squats for 5 hours), that I'm taking today off. My body is still sore from my 11+ miler.

It's time to go get ready for work (I get want to stay in bed all day). Hope everyone has a great week!

What was your best birthday and what did you do?

Shooting

Yesterday, I started my day with my 11+ mile run. Yes, Jason was still sleeping when I got back. He's a night owl, and I'm a morning person. When he got up, we hung out for a while and then we headed out. I had no idea where we were going or doing. He wanted to keep it a surprise the entire time. This is what we ended up doing:

I've been wanting to go shooting for a very long time. I've shot a rifle before, but not a hand gun. I definitely like hand guns so much better than rifles.

After we relaxed and watched some movies, we fixed dinner. BLTs, as you can tell by last weekend, these are one of my favorites. We opened a bottle of wine ate dinner outside. It was a really nice night.

Jason knows me better than anyone else. I'm having a great birthday weekend (1 of 2). I have to get ready. He's taking paintballing for my first time (he use to go all the time). I can't wait!

Have you ever gone paintballing? How many welts did you get?
