Yesterday we had a "snow-day" which was great. There was almost no snow, but Bil didn't have school and it was my special day off with Raviv. I got to go for a nice run outside. I jinxed myself, however, as yesterday's run felt crappy the whole time. My knee was tweaking a bit so I was glad today is an official rest day. But I need to do 40 minutes of cross training tomorrow. Any suggestions for cross training you can do at home in the winter?
Also- I have an ethical dilemma. We are having company over for dinner tomorrow night, and Bil picked out a desert he wanted me to make while he was at a meeting- a chocolate walnut pie. Let me tell you- knowing what went into the pie, there is no way I would EVER let a bite of it cross my lips (Lets just say that by volume chocolate is the least present of the ingredients, and light corn syrup is one of the highest). Can I still serve this? It kinda goes against almost everything I stand for.
And is it weird to have an organic pie crust, local butter, organic sugar, and free-range, organic eggs and corn syrup (the root of almost all evils in this country. Okay, maybe not quite as bad as HIGH FRUCTOSE corn syrup, but still...) in the same recipe?
I saw something amusing today, but I forgot what it was. So now I don't have a funny story, but it was a good day because Raviv was sent home from daycare sick. When we arrived he was really congested and coughing. But he really wasn't sick (by the time he got home he had cleared up) and I got an extra bonus day with my little guy!
Ha ha (re: your dilemma with the pie) I think about those things myself regularly. Sometimes going to the grocery store is so stressful and anxiety provoking for me, especially with my processed foods, butter, and sugar-loving husband. I really don't know what the answer is for that recipe...does it HAVE to be that recipe?
ReplyDeleteGlad you got to spend some special time with Raviv!
