Good Morning!
I spent all day yesterday cleaning up the house and getting ready for my sister, niece and nephew to come and stay with us. I did squeeze in some time for TurboFire 45, cooking and a little reading. š
Plus we went to Best Buy and Home Depot to look at washers and dryers. We also looked at cameras ā we are thinking of getting one for Jās mom for her birthday. She is taking a trip to Italy in October and we think she could use a better camera!Ā J reallyĀ liked this one: š
I finished The Lovely Bones!Ā To be honest it was a very depressing book. What I didn’t like was the description of Heaven – it sounded like a sad place. If you’ve read the book, do you agree? I wanted to finish it because I want to move onto a new book:
Iāve had it since Tuesday but I havenāt had a chance to open it up. The Lovely Bones was pretty depressing, so I am looking forward to reading a much more positive book.
Here are some of my favorite OB posts from last week:
There were more, but these three stood out to me, in the best way possible. Thanks ladies for the great posts!
Today I used up some Farmers Market goodies while making lunch. I wanted to celebrate Pancake Sunday in honor of HEAB.Ā
I made Potato Pancakes.
I used a recipe that you can find *here*.Ā But I didn’t fry them in oil, and I used oat flour instead of regular flour.
Here is the ābatterā:
In the skillet:
And the final product, topped with eggs:
The verdict? They were ok. Once J and I dumped salt on top of these babies, they were ok, but they really lacked flavor. Next time I will add more seasoning, and I will make them thinner ā the outside was nice and crunchy (like hashbrowns) but the inside was pretty soggy š¦
So I threw them out and we had some cinnamon toast instead. š
So Iāve been totally putting my 10 mile training plan to the sideĀ and only using TurboFire. Why? Because TurboFire is fun and running just hasnāt been as much fun. This week I need to start focusing on running more, or that 10 mile is going to feel like a marathon.
You know what might help? Compression socks. š
Good thing I won a pair from Shelby’s giveaway on Eat, Drink, Run! I hope to get a pink pair just like Shelby:
Thanks again Shelby!
Donāt forget that my OpenSky shop opens tomorrow ā woohoo!
