I definitely did don't forget skipping my run nowadays, however I did not have a "actual" purpose to pass--simply pure laziness--so I went in advance and did it anyway, of course. i used to be scheduled for 4.five miles at an smooth tempo, so I did my cutting-edge preferred out-and-back path.
there was a touch little bit of snow at the floor in patches--I do not know if i am ready to be running in snow but! I sense love it went from summer season to wintry weather, absolutely skipping over fall. I listened to Jillian Michaels' podcast even as I ran today--i have virtually gotten at the back of on it, because i have been catching up on half of length Me.
i've to mention, i'm very excited that Jillian goes to be on the largest Loser once more (at least for one season). I actually disliked her whilst she changed into on the show before, but then after she give up, I by some means commenced being attentive to her podcast. And now I in reality like her!
The 4.5 miles really went by means of pretty speedy, and i was lower back within the heat house right away.
once I walked in, I should scent some thing sort of funky. It turned into (but another) failed try at steel cut oats. i am getting certainly true at this--trying a new technique to cook dinner them, and then locating out that it failed to work ;) This time, I attempted this approach for cooking them--you placed them in a casserole dish, and area the complete dish interior of the crock pot, and then placed water bath across the casserole dish. cook on low in a single day. So that is what I did, and this time, I skipped adding the sugar so it wouldn't burn.
properly, the sugar in the milk burned. So it became a caramel-like coloration, which sounds sincerely great--however it tasted burnt. And the texture turned into very gummy, which I did not like. Oh nicely, it changed into really worth a strive.

up to now, the best a hit attempts were at the stove, virtually low heat for a long term. I do not thoughts cooking them this manner, however i am just frustrated that I can not cook dinner them all the different ways that humans seem to have success! there may be one more method i am going to give a strive, wherein you add boiling water and then cover it in a single day, and end cooking it within the morning.
This complete metal reduce oats aspect has come to be a recreation to me--see how many ways i will screw up the oats! ;)
the previous day, Eli and i decided to strive out an test that I came across on Pinterest to make a "bare egg". We placed raw eggs (still inside the shell) in a glass complete of vinegar. Then we let it set all night. And these days, we took the eggs out. They felt very squishy, and then whilst we rubbed them gently, the shells rubbed right off--they had turned into a powdery substance. while we'd rubbed all the shell off, this is what we had been left with:
it is nevertheless a totally raw egg--it's simply being held collectively by the membrane component. Eli held the first one and squished it too tough, and it broke throughout his shirt. It changed into an exciting experiment, but also sort of useless ;)
Jerry is off paintings day after today, and i am outstanding excited. we've got been so busy currently that I experience like i haven't spent any first-class time with him. even as the lads are in faculty, we are going to do a little Christmas purchasing. And we mentioned probable going to l. a. Pita for lunch! although i am not certain if we'll come to be doing that or no longer, since it is so far away.
I cannot believe that it is nearly Christmas already. the whole lot goes so fast right now! we are occurring a bit 3-day journey with my mother and father, sister and her husband, and my brothers in some weeks. We decided to do that journey collectively as opposed to exchanging presents this year, which I think is an high-quality concept.
After our journey, we have Christmas, after which my first-rate buddy Sarah is coming to metropolis from Arizona. Then New 12 months's, and then--The Ragnar Relay!! I might not remind you ways excited i'm for that ;)
