I regret not taking lots of photos yesterday of our BBQ rib dinner. Along with ribs we had mustard coleslaw, grilled redskins, cornbread, homemade salsa and for dessert, that upside down cake I posted (which was a hit by the way). Ribs anyone?

Today was b-u-s-y! After getting a late start and running a ton of errands, Colin and I stopped for lunch at Julienne Tomatoes. I had a cup of French Onion soup and a Caesar Salad while Colin had a chicken salad sandwich. One great things about Julienne Tomatoes is that they try to use local food as much as possible - breads, dairy, and produce when they can.

This afternoon I did a quick 30 minute swim in the pool. While I doubt swimming will ever be my favorite activity, I really do enjoy it. Then when I got home, I went for a 3 mile run. It felt great, even after the early morning 10 mile run I did yesterday. Tomorrow I’ll get up early, ride 8-10 miles on the bike then go for a 3 mile run. I’ve never experienced the bike-then run combo before, so hopefully I’ll be able to stay on my feet.

Tonight, dinner was an experiment. I’m not a huge asparagus eater, but we had quite a bit in the freezer to use up. So I cooked up some whole wheat pasta, and 3 slices of bacon, and mixed it together with the asparagus, some green onions, cherry tomatoes, and Gorgonzola cheese. Plus, it was pretty and tasty!
