I went to Prince George... and I ate.
Bottom right corner- Deep Fried Dynamite Roll. O M G
Shhh... the martinis were made with fruit- so it's eating!
Seafood Chowder with a Caesar
AKA: The Usual at Earl's
Gaye's salad- Pffttt and dynamite rolls (NOT deep fried)
Dinner at home: Grilled chicken, roasted garlic, squash, potatoes
Gaye made this eggs benny while I was showering. Now that is fucking service. Better than Demi Tasse's here in Victoria and that is saying a lot. If you stay at Gaye's order this.
Pork loin. This is 1/3 of the 'hunk' we bought. Gaye had to carry it like she was cradling a baby. To quote the lady that had a bit of sympathy "Oh Dear, there is just no gracious way to hold that thing"
Scalloped potatoes- here's the recipe, try it...
Slice as many potatoes as you want, slice one medium onion, toss in a bowl with salt, pepper, 3 cups of whipping cream (heavy cream... very very heavy) and 1 cup of cheese (whatever you want). In a 350 oven put a lid on this baby and let it bake for an hour. Take it out, add another cup or more of cheese, put on broil and watch it brown. DO NOT go watch tv, you have to watch it for 2 minutes. Take it out, let it sit for 10- 15 minutes. Careful, it's hot.
Don't blame me if your ass widens...
Peas and asparagus- about to meet Mr. Hollandaise...
Homemade beets and apple sauce finish it up. When Gaye gets the beet recipe I'll pass it on- the best I've had. Thanks Tom's Mom!
Mister bought a treadmill while I was away... You think it's a hint? :) I'm eating mini tootsie rolls as I type this. I hope the treadmill works.Wednesday, November 11, 2009

Knit Wit
This was the perfect timing. On my Knit Wit calendar this was Thursday's entry. On Thursday I went to the yarn shop to pick up sock yarn. I'm determined to make myself a pair. I picked up a recipe (pattern) and sat at home reading it... I'm still reading it. I'll start the first part but am going to need some intervention when I get to the heel. I'll keep ya posted.

Days 27, 28, 29 and 30!! The End
Well I can't remember any of the other days but today. And man alive am I glad it is done. No, I'm not heading over and doing the 60. Maybe next time? Maybe.
Kaitlin ended our 30 day challenge with a chorus of Happy Birthday to Wendy and applause all around for the finishers.
The class just flowed and it wasn't even really that hot, hot yes, sweaty yes but not that gross humid hot it has been.
All I could think about was the lunch Jules and I are having... in less than an hour. We're heading to Pagliacci's and having Roman Holidays. We don't even have to look at the menu.
Bravo to all and I'll see you bitches on Saturday. Yes...that's right, I'm taking 2 days off (bet I bitch the whole time:)
Hmmm... I really don't have much to say. I miss my baking and will be all over that the next couple of days. 100 cupcakes for our end of 30 day challenge potluck at the studio on Friday. Will for sure post them- and a very lovely photo of Jules this morning at 6am, about to enter her last class for the Challenge. Ha.

Day 24, 25 and 26 (Day, Classes...interchangeable)
So close but yet so far... I'm exhausted! Well obviously not clinically exhausted but am looking forward to a guilt free day off. A day where I'll bitch to Jules that I feel stiff and my back is tight and my legs are heavy to carry and my skin isn't glowing, and then I'll feel guilty. What the hell is that?! The studio probably pumps 'guilt serum' into the rooms.
I have to make this 'snappy' (for you Gaye :). I have carpets to clean, I have to go to Michael's craft store for fondant and probably a load of stuff I don't need, groceries, laundry and Maisie needs an hour at the beach and I still have to fit a class in.
Thursday I missed a class due to dog drama. Not my dog- god forbid! My friend's 2 pound Chihuahua got out on them and didn't come home all night! JHC! The next day she told me and another friend and I got on the internet posting ads (Rox Rocks) and within 20 minutes- dog found. Thanks again to the sweet lady that saw her and took her in for the night.
I left work to pick up this sad little dog- who went apeshit when she saw me and brought her back. Everyone was happy blahblahblah... I'd do the same for your pet too. Your kid is on their own.
Friday Jules and I hit the 6am and honestly there was nothing exciting to tell you. I think I was mentally counting minutes in my head for the end. I need (after the Challenge) to start doing some later classes, just to shock my body. Sure I can get up and go through the motions (I do give it... most times) but it might be nice to be fully awake occassionally. And don't you think those lights are brutal at 6am?
Saturday morning I had to do a double, atleast I think I did but then I did those other doubles so I'm probably caught up and confused. Like usual. Sweet Mother of Baby Jesus it was humid! Niecia lead both classes and her mama raised her right- she doesn't like to see people suffering. Though she kept the fans on fully, the sucker turned on, there was nothing she could do with the humidity. It was raining so hard out (for a couple of days- this is winter for us) and I guess that's all it takes.
Both of my classes were good. A couple of classes ago we got precise instructions on a few poses and I've been concentrating on pulling them off. My Standing Bow has improved drastically in one day because of it. Fixed Firm is still a bit of an issue. My foot is still cut over the top but its much better. Thank you Polysporin. Camel = Woot!
Going into the 2nd class (sopping wet and looking like I was outside for an hour) it was a sweat fest. Literally dripping off of my elbows, dripdripdrip sound as it hit the towel. And this was in the 1st breathing exercise.
Did I tell you I really don't enjoy the warm up? I'll get over it one day, hate something else for a while. I just wish I could sit it.
Wonder why (again, for you Gaye)... the 2nd class seems to zing by? It was suffering humid and there was a noise maker in class but yet I didn't notice much of anything. Just doodddeeeddooodeeedooo... I was in my own world just pulling out the poses and voila!
Finis.

Day... 23?
Lord love a duck I'm tired. It's not the amount of classes, its the fact I like to get up at 5:15am to get to the 6am class. And by like I mean- I have to get it over with or I might pass out once I get home and then get nothing done!
Here's my class drama. Peter teaching, great... no drama there. Temperature- ditto. Humidity- zero. Top of foot so dry it split open as soon as I touched it in Half Moon. That's the drama. What the hell!!? I moisturize- a lot! I've been putting Polysporin on it for a week now... and today... one inch gash across top. So not attractive. And it actually hurt enough I had to lay out Fixed Firm and Rabbit. Just laid there mentally picking my ass thinking "doodeedoodeee... oh good... next" I am not a wimp and don't like minor things like this putting me out. But really- its a pretty good tear and as you're aware the skin on the top of the foot is not too thick. And of course I think "And now I'm going to have to get my tattoo redone! GAWD!!"Ever have the top of your foot tattooed? Think knife left in fire pit, point dragging on flesh. Ribs are worse, but they're not cracked open. Oh and not bleeding cause it's too dry. BAH I say.
I thought I could put a bandage on it for tomorrow but Jules reminded me of my sweat fest and said doubtful it would stick :( Am just going to gob on the ointment and shoot for the best.
Wish me luck. And Hey! We're nearly done. And I'm definately sleeping in.
