So the other day when I was in the garage finding all the photos for my awesome collection of Big G's first year as a traveling man, I was simultaneously starting to cook my lunch.
Based on my pies... whether turkey pot or mixed berry... and my awesome gadget collection, you'd think I was some kinda somethin' in the kitchen. But I have been very honest with you about my lack of culinary prowess... or is it simply a case of "CRS"... can't remember s***?... so let's drop all expectations.
I was so
And this time the toxic crap from the melted plastic of the steamer ruined the best 50-year old, popcorn-making Revereware pan in the universe. I am in so much trouble :(
Both the pot and the steamer were goners.
Also cookin'...
This kid on the track... she LOVES to run! If you don't remember her indoor workout from a few weeks ago, you can see it here. And now that the weather is super nice, she got a chance to stretch her legs outside...
The last item on our menu of what's cookin'... or not cookin'...
I have been so slow and struggling with my running all week. My legs still feel thrashed from that hilly leg of the Oakland Marathon Relay last Sunday :( On Tuesday, I squeezed out a tempo run that felt okay enough to feel good about, but Thursday night... whoa...
Just an easy 5 miles was slated. I headed out at 8:40 PM. Yes, PM. And I really wanted to be out there running... really, I did. But my legs didn't :(
But I made them :)
We went around the loopy-doos 6 times for 4.5 miles and then they just said, "uncle... no mas." And I obeyed. I have a tenner on the docket for this weekend, and I want to be able to do it. I was going to do it today, but my husband just now told me he has to work all day, and I have to work tonight (yes, people, I kind of have a .... yob .... steering clear of the "J" word... can't quite bring myself to use it). Looks like the big 1-0 will have to happen tomorrow. I'm scared ... wish me luck!^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Oh goodness, I bet that put off a terrible smell! Last year I burnt a tupperware in the microwave and I had a headache for 2 days from it...cooking disasters are the worst!
ReplyDeleteThat is SO a load in her pants.
ReplyDeleteYou should see my favorite saucepan. Black. I still use it.
SUAR…i guess you would know about pants-loads…
ReplyDeleteand you should play the guessing game…i think you would know it.
Ashley…it smelled so bad! I just kept the lid on and put it outside for my husband to deal with :P
ReplyDeleteSeems you couldn't keep up with her.
ReplyDeletePlease salvage that pan. There's gotta be a way Richmond.
Your contribution to my Blog story this morning was AWESOME. Thank you! I hope it continues cuz I find it hilarious.
Poor, poor pan. :( Love that little runner girl... awesome!
ReplyDeleteCK, she can kick my butt! Especially if she is running toward a busy street or some other dangerous thing. And the metal of the pan is totally impregnated with plastic toxicity... I can send it to you if you're concerned about landfill and carbon footprints and stuff like that ;-)
ReplyDeleteWow, that's a bummer about the pan. And great running!
ReplyDeleteI am impressed with the running! Just yesterday, my 3 year old said, Mommy doesn't like to run. I don't know how he knew that. It isn't something we talk about or anything. But it's totally true. I find it to be really hard! So, I'm always impressed with people who do a lot of running.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Kristy above. I have never been a runner (unless I am being chased *wink wink*). I cannot tell you how many pans I have ruined by doing something that will "just take a second" when I should be watching my stuff cooking. And every time I cry like someone killed my kitten.
ReplyDeleteI am not a cook. OR a runner. I need a hobby.
Sorry about your pan. Good luck getting in you 10 miler. Sounds like a hectic schedule.
ReplyDeleteOK, so maybe you can't cook... but you can run 26.whatever miles. OMG.
ReplyDeleteI'm trying so hard to get back into running. It's hard.
