– I was struck with a ramen craving yesterday. I always make my own from scratch (basically just using vegetable bouillon and soy sauce to flavor the soup, with extra spices added to the sauteed veg), but the big Asian supermarket near me stopped carrying packages of ramen-style noodles. One has to buy the ‘single’ serving packets and throw away envelope of sodium. I added Gardein beefless tips with my veggies, and it was very, very good (I’ve got a Gardein review up my sleeve, FYI). So good that I had this for dinner last night and made it again for lunch today.
– One of best things about working from home (and one I take for granted by now) is the fact that I never have to wake up to an alarm. Except today. At 5.00am. So I could get up, eat breakfast, and get down to the lakes in time to be running by 6.30. Not for a race; I just didn’t want to run in the heat of the day. I did 14 miles today, and it was good. I realized on Wednesday (when I did a quick 5k) that I prefer a relaxed long run over a fast-paced 3-5 miles. Especially now that I listen to podcasts. I don’t have to think too much about the fact that I’m running; I just do it.
– I need an extra day in the week. I’d even take just a few more hours every day. I’m pretty sure I could steal those extra hours back from the internet, which is probably something I should do. Then maybe I’d have some adventures that I could tell you about, instead of just going on about running the whole time. Or maybe I’d just clean the house.
I admire your fine creative cooking. This dish looks great. I wish you would post the recipe. Boy, you must be in really good shape. 14 miles. That is a lot of running in one morning.
Greetings! I stumbled upon your blog a few weeks ago and absolutely adore it! It’s also so fun to hear you mention places that I know since I am also a Minnesotan. Up along the shore of Lake Superior above Duluth to be exact.
As I approach my twentieth birthday, I plan to begin a challenge to eat more organic and healthier. Your page is a quality resource with its classy meal photos.
Enjoy your sunny week, we’ve had rain up north, hopefully you don’t!
