So there was so much mushroom that I tried to freeze some of it. To those that need to do the same please note that the ‘steaks’ do NOT freeze as well, at least not for me. Cubes do! Puff Steaks. So I … Continue reading Adventures of a Puffball – Frozen Edition – Stuffed Acorn Squash
So I have this amazing neighbor whom also has a good friend that is a chef and knows her mushrooms… if I didn’t I would have NEVER tried one. Mushrooms are not to be taken lightly… But our neighbor brought us over … Continue reading The Adventure of a Puffball (Mushroom)
Setting New Running Records! – Slowest 15+ mile runs! Yep that’s right I am setting records this year for my slowest times ever! I just keep telling myself that I only care about getting in the miles and that the weather will be cooler and better for October! I had a few runs, on cooler days that were in the 11:30 minute range, not bad still very respectable — but considering I was more of a nine minute/mile half kinda gal and I did my first, and only ‘real’ marathon, around 10:20 per mile… yeah… While this past Friday, the … Continue reading Personal Record – Slowest
So last weekend we had to have a party to say goodbye for now to our favorite Coastie Storm Trooper. The Coast Guard is deploying her to a different city in about a week, which was delayed a week so we had arranged a get-together last weekend… One of my good friends, and running buddies, KO, has been asking me to make rabbit for him for like two fricken years! He has this wine called Rabbits and Spaghetti and it has historic stories about prisoners in Australia and they ate Rabbit and Spaghetti… google it they tell the story better … Continue reading Wascally Wabbit, grilled please!
The fake hubby and I just looked at each other when it was put together (but not stained) and said – wow – did we just built a boat! We did!!!! Yeah! Why?– well it is a short, long story…. … Continue reading Did we just built a boat! DIY Planter
This post is weeks overdue! Sorry! So we have this nice shady tree and we find ourselves in the shade on these hot summer days, seeing as there was already a flagstone ‘patio’ that fit a little tiny bistro table … Continue reading DIY Patio with 60, I mean 72, wait no 77 bags of gravel.
Been awhile but I am proud to say that phase 1 of the wine cellar is officially finished for the year. The floor is painted and ‘shellacked’ as Buppa would say… which was a garage floor type sealer. I am … Continue reading Drum Roll please… Wine Cellar phase 1 complete! By
So the fake hubby wanted to build this in a day… (insert your reaction)…. I know right! Like everyone we are taking this years and ‘the lack of being able see people’ combined with ‘the safer outside when you see … Continue reading Follow the old brick road…or path that is!
So with the news of all races being canceled, my motivation sadly decreased too. I dropped my mileage back and then worked to 8 last weekend, most runs have been on the treadmill this past month and that doesn’t help me either. BUT yesterday in the beautiful 50 degrees and sunny weather, I got 10 miles in. We were painting that stairs triangle and after about half way done, starting at the top and working down, there just wasn’t enough space for two of us. My fake hubby said – ‘if you want to just go for your run now…’ … Continue reading 10 Miles 2020
Starting to seem like it just is never ending! But we took a week off last weekend and we only leave been painting about half a day of every two day weekend. I feel it keeps it from being too much of a chore and thus not as fun or exciting, in addition it doesn’t disrupt the whole weekend. The last ‘wall’ this week to do was the the triangle of the stair case. I say ‘wall’ because we still have some of the harder to reach bricks and over the doorways. The door ways I wanted to do a … Continue reading Painting… brick by brick… painting….
