Hi all....my plan for zeros is not going well for the week.
I had 4 vodkas on Wed, 2 margs yesterday...
Syd, love the pic and nice to see you!!
Kate, *giggled* over the rain storm delay post...I love how your mind thinks.
Today is a rest day from exercise. I've been doing the C25K and my legs are a shattered mess. I've been walking to and fro from the ballgames which makes about 6 miles. Sad how deteriorated I've become with the PF. Anyway, PF must be in remission because it's not so painful to run. 6 long months to get this sucker healed *ha, ha, pun*.
I am hoping that the cardio is helping the BP and making the happy - now if the legs would just cooperate. I do have to say that seeing some definition is very nice.
OK - off to do filing/shredding of mounds of papers, laundry and final composition of the lasagna - takes FOREVER to make everything but so worth it when everyone is drooling for it.
Maybe some barre yoga tonight since nothing, absolutely nothing is going on.
Tomorrow is Warrior Dash.0 -
Kim....healed...I see what you did there Glad its on the mend! I haven't had lasagna is such a long time, you have inspired me to whip some up soon!! Good luck tomorrow at the Dash!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :drinker:0

Don't you get a beer at the end when you finish?0 -
Don't you get a beer at the end when you finish?
Yep.
Oh, Kate, try to make the lasagna with bechamel sauce instead of ricotta - true Italian style. I have a recipe if you want it....so good.0 -

And the quote of the month goes to SoCalWoman- Yea Syd!
Getting old sucks hairy donkey balls. :grumble:
Rains have finally abated, so I washed the windows that look out from the family room to the back of the house. Sometimes I just sit and rest my eyes on the scenery. Most relaxing! :yawn:0 -

Kate, here is the one I use for lasagna - it's amazingly good and tastes like a true Italian style - No ricotta here. I found this one because I generally only make a marinara sauce - but, for lasagna you need a meat sauce so I went with this one. Most recipes use ricotta so I looked long and hard for this one.
My tweaks are
1) Adding extra meat
2) Add basil and parsley to the mix
3) Omitted any salt because you really don't need it - has tons of flavor as is
4) Cook the meat sauce all day - with the parmesan rind in it
5) Used the whole can of tomato paste (not really sure why they do it this way, it seems strange) - Must be some way of thickening
6) Double fresh herbs in place of dried if that's what you are using.
7) Puree the tomatoes
8) You can use no boil noodles to save an extra step if you need to.
Both the meat sauce and bechamel freeze for future needs.0 -

Love the pic Syd
Dash on Kim
Gary you and I live in one of the most beautiful states in the world.When we get this warm sunny weather I feel so lucky.
Kat sorry about Aunt Flo. That is one thing I do like about getting old. Haven't seen her for years now.
I bought a flat of raspberries. sooo good. so last night I had vodka with raspberries. too much vodka with raspberries. The "C" at work was in rare form so I needed it. (She is no longer a "B" she is truly a "C" and I don't ever use that term but she deserves it)
Enjoy the weekend. Lush on!0 -
