Oh yes, I can!


Cue the "My Fair Lady" soundtrack.  Go to the song they sing right after the ball.  I want to hear " You did, you did it. You said that you could do it and indeed you did!"  Yes, I am a wee bit gleeful after the 5k that started at midnight. I may be slower than a turtle in molasses but I finished.  And although I wouldn't admit to goal time before we started I was really hoping that I would finish in an hour and just wouldn't be the dead last one that everyone was waiting for wishing they could turn out the lights.  But I did it in 42:24  and I didn't keep anyone too late!  I learned I can do it and now I will even train for the next one.  Oh yeah there will be more.  I hated it in the moment.  But now I can't wait to try it again only this time with some training.  The cross fit helped me get to that point.  Today I actually hurt more from yesterday's  work out (75 power cleans @30# for time) than I am from the run.  I am a bit sleep now that it is nearly lunch time but I was up bright and early running the roads.  I was wearing the shirt I got after the run and one of the guys at the butcher shop asked if I had run it because he had too.  Cool now I can make running connections.  :D Stop laughing y'all or you are gonna pee your pants.  I know the thought me running is funny but it is also fun.  
Now I get to go figure out the rest of the day.  I picked up some meat to can and flowers to plant.  But first.....I am starving I worked up an appetite.

Goodness so much has happened over summer and as fall has begun.  I had intended to be able to blog more but well you know......... We have two extra little people living with us now days and that just adds to my happy chaos.  Oh and makes me bone tired.  I am still working out whenever I can and I joined a running group here in town.  I have another five k on Saturday. I have been canning and making stuff like mad so I will attempt to catch up over the next few days with the tutorials and ideas. A couple of weeks ago we were in the cities which of course means I went to Trader Joes and Dragonstar Market.  I love the deals I can get down there.  One of my deals was a heap of Thai basil for pesto.  I try to by a heap each time we go so I can make it all up and then freeze the pesto for later.  I love easy suppers. My pesto recipe is another one of those things in my head.  If you have made pesto before you will know what to look, smell and taste for as you go along.  I suppose if you

Why I haven't Blogged

Well really I meant to but........... life kind of hit me.  There is the wedding dress and wedding that need to be done.  And there was this .............. Basically all April long. And by long I mean neverending long.  Like the fear of spring never coming again, long. First snows are awesome.  So is a white Christmas.  Even in to February I am willing to play along with the snow fall.  But ding dang it when April comes I do not wish to be preparing for what turns out to be 17 inches of snow overnight.  That is just wrong. And now just as terrible as it was two weeks later here we are at spring as in now I can see green grass.  Woo hoo! Then, of course what is the never ending winter without the never ending house problems??? Burst pipes, anyone?  Don't feel sorry for me.  I spent plenty of time doing just that for myself.  But now I am a girl on a mission. Drum roll, please ********** I get to fix up this house to move out to the country.  Yep, you read it right the snow no

Viola working.

Poor Viola!  To be honest she has been working hard about once a week as I find new things for her to try and can.  As I try them and do them again I will post the sort of recipes and pics.  "Sort of recipes?" you ask.  Well yes, sort of.  I will sort of tell you what I did and I may even sort of measure for you. Lol. Today Viola and I canned some pork roast I had gotten at the butcher shop on sale and some black beans as I had given my last few jars away over the weekend. I processed everything at once because I only had three quarts of roast and ten pints of beans to do.  I am lazy, sue me. First let's go through the pork roast.  It is beyond simple and I did kind of like my pot roast that you will see in later posts, I am sure. I like my pork with apples. I think the sweetness adds something so used applesauce, chipotle powder, chopped dried onions, garlic powder and salt. Why the yes, that applesauce is my own creation.  Now as I said before I am not a fan of m
