And not too slippery! I still kept it quite slow. I am going to say it was the snow and not my out-of-shape-ness. Back me up on this and we can keep being friends.
For once in my life, I wore the right thing. Thumb hole shirt = always the right thing.
Franklin and I refueled (aka had dinner) with some vegan enchiladas. Black beans for my joints!
Also for my joints, I made kale soup. It's supposed to be my lunch all week, but we will see how long I can handle it. Not the most appetizing appearing stuff, thus no picture (and since I consider the above photo appetizing, you know the kale soup is truly questionable).
To top the day off, our heat was again not working. Naturally, I decided to go to the store for ice cream (did you think I was going to say a space heater?). It is a scientific fact that eating ice cream brings your internal temperature down, which makes the external temperature feel warmer. If you are reading this and are deciding whether or not to interview Frank for one of the 174 science-related jobs that he has applied for, please know that he did not confirm that scientific fact. But he will work for ice cream.
Happy Monday peeps!
Do you eat kale? Any recipes to share? We use it in soups pretty frequently, but this batch doesn't look so delicious.
What would you work for (besides boring old money)?
Oh my gosh I LOVE KALE. And with the Garlic Tahini Dressing from whole foods, it's the BEST.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if I could make that dressing?? Google to the rescue! I don't have a whole foods near by.
DeleteReading your posts make me miss you so much. Plus, I really enjoy the picture of Frank snuggled up under blankets and cuddling with the ice cream carton. (:
ReplyDeleteKellie!! I miss you girl! You must be about ready to have that new baby?? When are you coming to the good ole US of A? I did read your post about being unable to travel back for a bit, but be sure to check with me, who knows I might move back to the Soo!
DeleteI made this kale & bean stew for my lunches last week, and it was really, really good (oh yeah, and it took pretty much no time to make):

I will definitely look that recipe up! I just ate my Kale soup and it tasted MUCH better than it looks!
DeleteI do not eat kale.
ReplyDeleteI would work for a well prepared meal, for sure.
A meal prepared by someone else is always a winner, as much as I like to cook!
DeleteI love kale!! I still haven't tried kale chips but dying to try it! Looked like a beautiful day at the lake! I always make my kale salad with tomatoes, corn, onions, with some vinegar and olive oil dressing.
ReplyDeleteI would work for social contribution.
I sure hope that is what I will be working for too!! So true :)
DeleteNice job running outside!!! It looks like it was a beautiful and cold run. ;)
ReplyDeleteHaha, it was in the 20s but actually felt kind of warm after last weeks sub-zero junk!
DeleteI keep my runs on ice and snow very easy as well. No need to slip and bust my head. I normally just saute kale and add some garlic...I'm of the very simpleton type LOL.
ReplyDeleteI was thinking of sauteing next (thats is not a correctly spelled word I bet). I am not a fancy pants either!
DeleteNo recipe sorry :(
ReplyDeleteI have to nice job--running in that weather!
Thank you!
Deleteoh imagine heat not working in this weather, yikes!
ReplyDeleteI've never had kale!!
It makes me appreciate the days it does work lol
DeleteThat first picture of the lake is beautiful! I LOVE running by water!
ReplyDeleteI would work for running clothes- they are so freaking expensive!!
They are expensive! It's why I rarely look like a stylish runner :)
DeleteHmmm - I would work for most items of food: pizza, chinese, sushi. May also work for wine!
ReplyDeleteFood is definitely a #1 motivation!
DeleteThat lake picture is breathtaking. And that snow? Definitely the culprit in your lack of speed. ;)
ReplyDeleteHope you get your heat working, again!
Thank you for taking my side on the speed issue!
DeleteCan't go wrong with a thumb hole shirt girl - gorgeous picture.
ReplyDeleteNeed more thumb hole shirts for sure, I hate creeping up sleeves!
DeleteNew reader, love ice cream!!! I think I would work for ice cream and chocolate covered cinnamon bears.
ReplyDeleteWHY have I never had chocolate covered cinnamon bears? That includes so many things I love!
DeleteYummm to dinner and ice cream. Awesome job on the run. I will work for cookies, cake, anything sweet..brownies. And expensive meals.
ReplyDeleteYou had me at BROWNIES!
DeleteHaha! I eat ice cream when it's cold out all the time!!! And, yes-- I'd work for ice cream too. For sure.
ReplyDeleteIt just makes sense to eat ice cream all year round :)
DeleteI love shirts with thumbholes! My favorite! I have never had kale, but have heard it's good for you:) I would work for clothes/shoes:)
ReplyDeleteI have a feeling that when I get my next job after I graduate, I will be working for clothes and shoes!! :)
DeleteI lurked in the first comments, so i'm going to try and post this tahini dressing recipe I have. Haven't tried it, but it's from my clean eating people. Pretty much all of the recipes I've tried of theirs were tasty.
ReplyDeleteEveryday Tahini Salad Dressing
I like to keep a jar of this in the fridge at all times. It sets me up for success. Come home tired? Throw together whatever veggies you have on hand and poof! You have your meal.
directions
ingredients
• 2 tablespoon tahini
• 1 tablespoon. lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
• 1-2 teaspoons honey depending on de-
sired sweetness
• 3 tablespoons water, or as needed
• Hefty pinch of salt and pepper
• 1 clove of garlic, finely minced
• 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
• 1 tablespoon finely chopped chives
Whisk together the tahini, lemon juice, vinegar, honey and water. Mix in the garlic, hearty pinch of salt and pepper and drizzle in the olive oil while whisking. Add more water if you prefer it thinner. Mix in the chives. Adjust to your taste and store in refrigerator in jar.
Awesome!!!!
ReplyDeleteGlad you're being a little cautious, but looking good. Hoodies in general are something I could live in.
