I tend to use anything I can come up with as an excuse to party. I got back in Portland a week and a half ago on Monday and had a job interview on Tuesday. It was at this really cool winery in Dundee and I thought it went really well. So I started wine tasting in the afternoon and one thing led to another and then I was drunk until Friday. It wasn't good for my training. I started up running again on Monday but had to drop back my miles and now I'm doing a Novice training program. :( . Oh well, at least I didn't give up. I ran Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday this week for a total of 10 miles. Tomorrow I'm going to try and run 9 miles in Forest Park but my legs hurt all over today. Hopefully they will feel better in the morning. We leave for Michigan on Saturday and I'm a little worried there wont be many paths train on and I'll have to run on hard concrete. We'll see!downtoeathttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12327633867100324552noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7938532651815220773.post-88005491241020550642008-02-20T14:54:00.000-08:002008-02-20T16:25:51.864-08:00Marinated Portobello Burgers<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfEDBRk6qQLuLuo-1IeKFbdJUoC_dyzrh2fBFZjLcl_ZBra3FWAHwraLEi1EPt7KgaaaUi2dlOiXzmlFaANHS9BxoEiSmlODfo1eQyV-2ZiZT8ht5rliqpseHvSHAWNgUGkRPwQfMDSLgg/s1600-h/IMG_3242.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfEDBRk6qQLuLuo-1IeKFbdJUoC_dyzrh2fBFZjLcl_ZBra3FWAHwraLEi1EPt7KgaaaUi2dlOiXzmlFaANHS9BxoEiSmlODfo1eQyV-2ZiZT8ht5rliqpseHvSHAWNgUGkRPwQfMDSLgg/s320/IMG_3242.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5169223112863517778" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUzkdt_XKoXYV6MRPpoo1h8KzvN5vDt5sIiaSB3FdzRIRv6_V23Wyw4hZxodlX1_B46Wa5srYR1tUIU2RA01LFahcjq2py8_RsJeBB2HOOmpm6MYgT3QAuSrfq1wW3GjxScMx9d_zIA__h/s1600-h/IMG_3246.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUzkdt_XKoXYV6MRPpoo1h8KzvN5vDt5sIiaSB3FdzRIRv6_V23Wyw4hZxodlX1_B46Wa5srYR1tUIU2RA01LFahcjq2py8_RsJeBB2HOOmpm6MYgT3QAuSrfq1wW3GjxScMx9d_zIA__h/s320/IMG_3246.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5169222013351889986" /></a><br />Yesterday night my girlfriend made a great salad with a mustard, orange juice and dill dressing. I made yummy marinated portobella burgers. We only had two pieces of bread so we made them open faced. Here is the recipe:<br /><br />2 portobello caps<br />1/8 cup tamari<br />1/8 cup olive oil<br />1/8 cup red wine vinegar<br />juice of half a lemon<br />4 small cloves of garlic, minced<br />swiss or muenster<br />ciabatta or other roll<br /><br />whisk all wet ingredients together with the garlic and pour over mushrooms gill side up. Marinade for ten minutes then grill or broil the mushrooms for 3 to 5 minutes on both sides. Melt some swiss, or since I had muenster leftover from last night, I used muenster, on top and serve on a roll or a bun with tomato and vegenaise. yum.<br /><br />After dinner I went to my favourite beer bar, The Eastside Club Tavern, and saw a down tempo band EOTO. I enjoyed the music with a Scullers IPA, nice and hoppy.downtoeathttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12327633867100324552noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7938532651815220773.post-507879757123872612008-02-18T22:23:00.000-08:002008-02-18T23:43:15.024-08:00Cabbage soup<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGpuoof9CU14e5m3RaXXSjMC2cRtDWyGUuDgd4tRlPaxvC5RD2kpQ2BK-s5XWe8HYqp0qwJ1-rs7RiZ3kkWlqYfdizEUVYU6gtO7uamIoYJHpyTyNcZM992T7l1l4O6rObZUuUqJI54Y9g/s1600-h/IMG_3241.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGpuoof9CU14e5m3RaXXSjMC2cRtDWyGUuDgd4tRlPaxvC5RD2kpQ2BK-s5XWe8HYqp0qwJ1-rs7RiZ3kkWlqYfdizEUVYU6gtO7uamIoYJHpyTyNcZM992T7l1l4O6rObZUuUqJI54Y9g/s320/IMG_3241.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5168593663931452466" /></a><br />Tonight I decided to make cabbage soup for dinner. I love cabbage. My girlfriend and I have been eating out three meals a day at restaurants in Portland this presidents day weekend so now that we're home in Olympia, I decided to cook up a comforting, affordable pot of yummy cabbage soup. The recipe follows:<br /><br />1/2 of a large head of green cabbage, chopped<br />1 large leek, cut and rinsed<br />2 medium potatoes, chopped<br />4 tablespoons of butter<br />5 cups of vegetable stock<br />muenster cheese<br />paprika<br />salt & pepper<br /><br />Saute the cabbage, leek and potatoes in butter with salt for 5-10 minutes until cabbage begins to soften. Add stock, bring to a boil then simmer for 30 minutes. Taste for salt and pepper. Sprinkle paprika and cheese into individual serving bowls and enjoy!<br /><br />I drank an oak barrel aged Stone Arrogant bastard ale with this soup and a Moscato D'Asti white wine. I cannot say either one complimented the dish very well but they were both delicious. Cabbage is pretty tricky to pair with beverages in my opinion.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnIouCpzLfnd7YI_9dZxYVD1Dj6E7dhAobNzBGfhhUlVcrWExO4a0WlipoRhTUjak0D_z7OqDZrfYNoQfT5NYS3zePUJsjPKweRHCX8V3y860Jj3yfBs1v-AtqfDG_miO6Khhzh4l_NnJy/s1600-h/IMG_3240.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnIouCpzLfnd7YI_9dZxYVD1Dj6E7dhAobNzBGfhhUlVcrWExO4a0WlipoRhTUjak0D_z7OqDZrfYNoQfT5NYS3zePUJsjPKweRHCX8V3y860Jj3yfBs1v-AtqfDG_miO6Khhzh4l_NnJy/s320/IMG_3240.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5168593066930998306" /></a>downtoeathttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12327633867100324552noreply@blogger.com0
