Know Your Roots

Or…

“Help! Kanz! I’m stuck in the briar patch!”

Matt and I slept in and then went for a leisurely run on the Goucher College trails.

image

The trails were fine at first – only covered in roots and rocks. But then we hit mud, fallen trees, streams and finally briars. After getting all tangled up with scratches on my legs, we moved onto the main campus loop road. Much better. Our pace went from 13 minute miles to 8:30s just like that!

~4.6 miles – over the creek and through the woods, to grandmother’s house we went

Post run Kenya coffee! I don’t like Starbucks coffee, but I love their Kenya blend!

At Gram’s, she taught us how to make soft boiled eggs soaked up with toast

With Matt’s challah!

We have so much delicious bread we brought from GH Columbia!

Gram always has a wonderful stash of “burries”

Burries

She also had some Oikos yogurt!! So I made a big bowl with burries and Apple Crunch bread on top – and a drizzle of Blue Diamond almond butter!

Larbs is here!

Time for a little shopping!

    I love the “burries.” One of my favorite things about coming home to see my parents is their constant supply of fresh berries too! I always clean ’em out by the time I leave. Good luck shopping today. I love your sister’s green top!

    I’m not a huge fan of Starbucks either, but I’ll have to try their Kenya blend.

      I was thinking the same thing – I’m going to have to try the Kenyan too.

      Blue Diamond AB is so good! Almost sinful…

    “Burries” haha 🙂
    Your run sounds like mine! I also had a pre-run banana, and an iced coffee afterwards haha 🙂
    I love how the older folks speak. My me-maw calls pants, “britches” and says the name “sarah” like “say-rah” hehe 🙂

    I don’t think I’ve ever heard of anyone making soft boiled eggs with toasted besides my parents! They tear the toast up in bite sizes pieces and mix it all up in the bowl with the egg. It’s good.

    My fiance’s grandma makes eggs that way too, basically my favorite thing ever! Of course, I can never get it to taste as good, it must be a grandma thing. We call them ma-maw eggs because his great-grandmother (mamaw) actually started it in the family. Apparently they are more popular than I thought!! Mmmm.

      You hard boil an egg but only for 3-4 minutes so the middle is not all the way cooked and then break the shell and pour out the egg into a bowl with toast underneath
