I'll get right to the point. I'm hungry.
And it's not just me. It's September, which means any runner training for a Fall marathon has but one thing on their mind: FOOD.
It's not that we're not eating. Well, some of the more disciplined runners are closely watching their diet but we never really cared for them, anyway. No, most of us are more than getting our fill of food. The problem is that it's not helping.
Say hello to Froggy. Froggy, who works the day shift as a ceramic spoon holder, was on the kitchen countertop next to our sink when I returned home from this morning's run. It's startling to come across a pink and green frog in your kitchen, although not necessarily in a bad way.
There had been a chili pepper spoon holder in the spot where Froggy sat as recently as the night before, but there was a tragic dishwasher loading accident that I shan't go into here.
A random list of small things that make me happy:
Fall weather
Quinoa - looking all innocent likeOkay. First I just want to say that it's not my fault.
The recipe I made last night from the Engine 2 Diet book for Red Beans Over Quinoa with Kale said it served 2-4 people. Blair and I are not shy eaters and typically we find that a recipe that says it serves 4 generally gives each of us a healthy portion plus one small meal leftover. So it's NOT MY FAULT that there is now enough Red Beans and Quinoa in my refrigerator to feed a mid-sized middle Eastern village for a week.
