argh.. am in strange mood today. last night (around ~2am) i started getting a really nasty tummy ache. i think maybe because around 8pm i drank some coffee and then some iced tea (waay too much caffeine, especially after working out for about an hour and a half). also, i had a late snack around 1 am so that must have something to do with it.
despite, that, yesterday was ok. i ran 3 miles in 29 minutes (ok, not great) along with others from the sp running club. then i went to my cardio kickboxing class, which was a great workout as usual. afterwards, it started raining really hard (first time that day) so ended up biking home in the rain in my gym clothes (shorts). despite that fact, it wasn't that horrible...i was at least i had my bike so i would only be soaked for 5 minutes as opposed to 15.
when i got home, i was hoping to find some yummy chili waiting for me in my crockpot...i was a bit surprised when i walked in the kitchen and it smelled a bit unusual. when i opened the crockpot and stirred it a bit, a noticed the meat looked sort of weird..really soggy, like when it's in a soup. i then realized that i had forgotten to brown the meat before throwing it the crocker that morning..i had just taken the ground turkey from the package and thrown it in along with the other ingredients. ARGH! i was a bit pissed, but at least it wasn't totally ruined..it was eatable, after all (after adding salt, onions and other loads of spices and trying to fry the bean/meat mixture in a skillet and later adding marinara sauce and of course the un-leave-out-able sour cream :D ). anyway, at least i didn't have to throw it out. kind of reminded me of the time a few weeks ago (last week?) when Michael and I were making mashed potatoes (also in a hurry) and we had forgotten to cut up the potatoes after peeling them (we just threw them in whole into the boiling water, and then wondered why they weren't soft after 20 minutes). And like with the chili, it was fortunate that we were able to salvage it (we dragged the hot potatoes out and cut them up before boiling them again).
oh, and after that happened and i attended my (last?) SPEC+ meeting, Michael came over and we watched Master & Commander. it's an excellent (though a bit gory) movie. I was wide awake through all of it, even though we started watching it at 11:30 pm (we spend like 45 minutes trying to figure out why there was no sound coming out of the DVD player, when it turns out all we had to do is turn the volume way up!)
P.S. back to the recipe stuff--last week i made this Strawberry Pie, and it was de-licious. Michael said it was one of the best desserts i had ever made. I sort of agree. i give it 4 stars. I'll post the recipe up here sometime soon!
