The post-script

Posted by Carrie on 28 Nov 2008 | Tagged as: Familial things, Food and drink, Gabriel, Pictures and movies

It should be noted that we chose to serve ham as our primary protein due to our kids’ usual reluctance to eat roasted bird, and it should be noted also that both boys decided to turn their noses up at the ham yesterday and instead eat from the small Rock Cornish hen we got just […]

Mute

Posted by Carrie on 17 Nov 2008 | Tagged as: Completely random, Food and drink, Gabriel

Some days, I have absolutely nothing to say - nothing worth saying, nothing worth the effort of opening my mouth to utter. Frequently, on these days, I actually get annoyed with having to speak at all, or at least with having to come up with original words. Gabe just sat on my lap […]

You learn something new every day

For instance, until a few minutes ago, I’d never heard of “race bandits”: people who run without having registered for races, especially exclusive or big ones, like the Boston Marathon. I was confused when, while registering for the Kenosha Marathon, I came across the bold-lettered warning, “NO BANDITS.” My mind flashed to pistol-toting […]

I need an indoor ski suit

I’m wearing a camisole, a turtleneck, and a sweater, and I’m still f-f-f-f-f-freezing. My dream home will have a roaring fireplace, and I swear, I’ll sit in front of that thing from October to March, just thawing. Why do I go running? Because when I’m doing that, I’m warm. Yesterday, I […]

Rise and shine!

Speaking strictly of bagels as a stand-alone baked good, not as bookends for a sandwich or any other such use:

What do you put on your bagel?

Light cream cheese

Flavored cream cheese

Jelly/jam

Peanut butter

Other savory spread

Other sweet spread

Something completely different

Nothing at all!

Sometimes I wax rhapsodic.

And sometimes, such as now, all you’re going to get from me is NOM NOM NOM.

Mmmmm, pumpkin bread. With chocolate chips!

Down came the rain and washed the Stockard out

Posted by Carrie on 03 Sep 2008 | Tagged as: Fitness and Health, Food and drink

Discovered: while running in the rain can be fun, biking in the rain is decidedly not. Halfway into my planned ride this morning, the skies opened up and dumped on me; I felt like Gabe under the water-dumping bucket on vacation. It was unpleasant. My feet kept slipping off the pedals (I’m […]

Completely random and just out of curiosity

What are you having, or did you have, for breakfast today?
What are the best packed lunches, in terms of flavor and practicality?
(I had a cup of coffee and some homemade oatmeal bread with peanut butter for breakfast. As far as lunches go, I’m stumped, as everything that I know that tastes great is a […]

Positives for the day

More ways in which my kids are smarter than half the internet:
SAM: “That’s stupid.”
GABE: “MOM! Sam said ’stupid.’”
SAM (heavy, beleaguered sigh): “If I offended you, I’m sorry.”
GABE: “That’s not a real ’sorry.’”
SAM: “I know. But let’s just play.”
GABE: “Okay.”

Good day to go to the Farmer’s Market. Fresh tomatoes rock! […]

OM NOM NOM

Just so you know. (Recipe here. Our oatmeal was cooked with raisins, so those are in there, too.)
