Today's lunch: black beans and sweet potato over brown rice and baked pears stuffed with dates.
These pears are definitely something I will be making again! I simply halved them, took out the seeds and scooped some pureed dates in to the center. Laid them out in a hotel pan, and poured a simple syrup infused with clove, cinnamon and allspice over top. Covered them and baked until they were nice and soft. They were so tasty! I wish I had had a scoop of vanilla ice cream and some toasted pecans! nom!
Wednesday is my short day and also seems to be the day I run. Today I decided to go off roading! I nearly twisted my ankle, but managed to keep my nikes clean! I ran past the kale and chives, past the empty beds and strawberry patch, along the back field near the creek, up the ridiculously steep hill, back on the road and past the dairy farm with the three legged dog that insists on barking at me every time, around the curve and to the bridge before I turned around and headed back along the same course. It might sound like a long run, but I'd guess its between 2.25 and 2.5 miles. These hills are killer out here! This city girl is used to running on flat, smooth surfaces!
I noticed today, the valley is starting to green up. The trees are starting to leaf out and the tulips have opened!!

Haha... I love that the priority is keeping the shoes clean! ;)
