Scoot

More couch potatoing! But this time we were anything but lazy! Matt and I worked on bakery stuff all morning. [You wouldn’t believe how much there is to do! From little things like ordering baskets and tissue paper to take to businesses with bread inside to choosing a contractor!]

Working from home means looking at the clock at 12:30 and realizing if you don’t get out of your pajamas and into your running clothes and SCOOT you’re going to move right into lunch!

I managed to get out the door with a date in my mouth [always the best running fuel!] and went on a pretty fabulous run. I think not having to hold up a conversation helped keep up my speed. I often have great runs when I’m by myself! I covered 4.6 miles and kept my hilly pace under 9:00 minute miles.

Lunch was assembled quickly after a shower while we dialed into our Monday afternoon conference call with GH. What would we do without their advice!?

Nice combo!

And a pile of green.

My usual salad that I never get sick of:

  • Spinach
  • Carrot
  • Celery
  • Pepper
  • Honey
  • Olive oil
  • Lavender salt
  • Dates

Now if I don’t scoot to the grocery store, we’re not going to have anything to put in the oven for dinner!

      I used to too. Then I read the best way is in a skillet with a cover. The bottom gets recrisped, and with the pan covered, the cheese remelts. Super easy and quick!

    I sent you an email a few days ago, but it came back to me as undeliverable. Before I re-send and accidentally clutter up some random person’s inbox, I thought I should check to see if I have the right address: katheats AT gmail DOT com?

    If I looked up at the clock and saw it was 12:30, I’d go straight for lunch, unless there was someone who would prepare my lunch while I was exercising 🙂 Are you able to get local spinach for your salads in the winter? We have a farmer here with hoop houses, and local spinach in the middle of winter is the best thing ever — spinach never tasted so good!

    I heat my pizza in the toaster oven- uses less energy than the broiler (but not as effective if you are heating a large quantity). I swear, I am addicted to our toaster oven, almost never use the microwave these days!

    Hi Kath,
    Since you’re talking about spinach, I have a question! Do you know if wilting it takes away a significant amount of its nutritional value? I like to add it to hot pasta & rice, but am I losing a lot of nutrients in the process? It’s not like I’m sautéing it or anything…

    Thanks!! (love, love, love your blog)

    • KathEats says

      February 7, 2011 at 6:25 pm

      Debbie,
      You shouldn’t be losing any significant nutrients with wilting so long as you’re not steeping it in water a la boiling. When you cook in water, some nutrients do leach out. But wilting should be fine!
