And Tanji Johnson and her sister did a routine together for the fitness night. And, fresh Alaskan halibut was in season, so we can home with an 18 lb fish.. score!!
it really sucks knowing that you are in good physical shape, but crappy cardio shape.
I will chalk it up to low carbs this week,,, just eating hummus and crackers for dinner last night and running.. which reminds me.. we have to do a 2-3 mile tonight last one before the race on Sunday.... which ... ok the whole f'ing Swine Flu thing.. now they are 'thinking' of canceling the race itself.. ok, so how do you tell 50,000 people that are coming from as far as Kenya that they won't be running...

Usually by June 1 you can get hot. We have had some upper 80's and a few 90 days already.
July and August are what we call "dog days" of summer. Hot and Humid. Mid 90's. One year we had several weeks of 100-110. Damn that was terrible. Never seen it that hot here before. |

Mostly Early Girls (because of our short growing season) some yellow big boys (I love those) sweet 100's and yellow pear. As far as peppers, just cayenne, serrano and jalepena (sp?).. I do have corn, but haven't had much luck with it in the past, but I planted it in my garden anyway. then there is cabbage, cilantro, cucumbers, beets, potatoes, egg plant, green beans, peas, zucchini, yellow squash, acorn, butternut and pumpkins... whew...

V-up's is probably not the name for them, that oldie ab exercise where your butt is on the end of the bench and your body does a V when you raise your legs up.....|

So I grabbed some Japanese eggplant, red peppers, squash, zuchinni and garlic, diced them up with the toms and made a nice ratatouille. A little french bread toasted with garlic and parm on the side, and everyone is happy.
My wife has steadfastly refused to consider the vegetarian thing, but she never seems to complain when I cook for her... |
Especially this time of year when the fresh vege's are so abundant.. I have 2 eggplants growing, but there not big enough yet to pick. I put garbanzo beans in mine,,, combines well with the rice for that complete protein

our unusally hot heat with our massive thunderstorms and rain - plus the fact I planted them too close together, so not enough "air flow" (the gals at the extension office told me that) the leaves are starting to curl up and die... Hopefully the tomatoes will ripen fast and I will be able to can alot of salsa before they are all ..... doomed......
