Random Photo Entry 8 - Home Cooking

I thought I'd start off the year with some pictures of some of the dinners that "The Ukrainian" and I conjure up sometimes on the weekends...


Above: Vegan cream cheese, tomato, cucumber, and avocado.


Above: Rotisserie lemon-pepper chicken (store-bought) with brown rice, sundried tomatoes, cut-up green onions, and radishes. My version had soy chicken nuggets, though I will admit that some drippings from the rotisserie got in there. =O And yes, that's some cheap wine from Trader Joe's.


Above: This past weekend... canned green beans w/mushrooms, sandwich thin with vegan cream cheese and hummus (not combined), and a small block of vegan cheese to munch on. Admittedly, I ended up biting some havarti (sp?) cheese from "his" plate.


Above: "His" plate. I also had some of these crescent rolls (from a can, unfortunately). The thing on the right is turkey meatloaf, which I made out of some left ground turkey meat referenced here. The imported beer is from World Market. It was very bitter. I shouldn't have tried (i.e., had a few sips) any, as I had just downed 1 Tylenol pill for a headache and ended up falling asleep after eating. Fortunately, the headache disappeared when I awoke.

    You've been eating some strange stuff. That sandwich looks well made, like something you would buy at a restaurant!

Yep, on March 20, 2006, I went to the track and ran my first 3.25 miles with the dreams of marathon glory (or even half-marathon glory). I think it was one of the best decisions I've ever made.  I was a sprint/track

Sharkies Prize Pack (giveaway)

It's giveaway time! On a long run recently, I took a couple packs of Sharkies Organic Sports Chews  with me to keep me going on a hot day.  I got through those 15 miles  eating these, versus normal gels.  I've been opting to eat chews over gels in my running nowadays because I just find them more palatable and easier on my stomach for some reason.  Plus, they do pack a few more calories, which is a good thing in this case. I normally associate cute little chews with candy, but these actually contain natural electrolytes.  Plus, they were light to carry and very tasty, too!  Each pack is about 140 calories.  The only downside I found to the sport chews is that they stuck to my teeth a tiny bit more than my normal choices, and the packaging gave me a fight at times.  This could easily be solved by conslidating them into a baggie pre-run, or eating them BEFORE running would be much easier than during. Want to win the prize pack below?  It comes with these Sport Chews, a neat

Rebecca Michaels Performance Clothing (Giveaway)

UPDATE: 6/21/12 -- This giveaway is closed, and the winner is #43, Jacqueline!!  I will contact you, but if you miss it, please e-mail me! ------ I'd like to credit in advance "The Ukrainian" who helped me stage some photos for this post. =) Perhaps because I don't dress well when working out, I was offered the opportunity to try some fun pieces from the Rebecca Michaels summer collection. Since I complained about my issues with headbands staying on my head, I also got to try their Violet Love headbands.  "The Ukrainian" didn't hesitate in throwing one on, and I think he said he looks like Rambo in it. Anyway, I'll start with my experience with the headbands .  They are very soft and actually look SUPER cute on!  They also cover a large portion of the top of your head, so those little fly-aways don't come drooping down.  Or is that just me?  My hair is normally cut in layers, so I do experience this quite a bit.
