Snazzy

A little extra sumpin for the night before Christmas [Eve]

I went to CYCLE class today! Met my bud Suzanne, who is in town for the holiday, at the 12:10 class.

Can you guess what MOVIE the instructor played?

A Charlie Brown Christmas. I really couldn’t imagine a worse movie to cycle to! Our room has a big screen for showing the road and rolling hills during a class, but I never would have thought to show an actual movie during the class. I will say it was fun to watch a movie, and the time did seem to fly.

Biking to and from the gym gave me over an hour on two wheels – my legs are tired now!

I usually walk in the door from my noontime workouts ready to dig straight into a lunch! My 10 minute shower seemed so long today because I couldn’t wait to heat up this leftover beetlejuice soup!

Oh it has been a while since we’ve had Sriratcha in the house!

Served with a pile of bread cubes. I was too hungry to wait to toast them! I should have because they were a bit blah dry (these were from that sunflower loaf Karen brought us – Great Harvest bread is great plain!)

I can’t stop eating Lauren’s pecans!! They are so perfectly salted – it’s the salt that I keep going back for!

  1. I love A Charlie Brown Christmas, but it is a tad slow. I would lose all momentum trying to cycle to it.

    And I love the set-up in the first photo — makes me think of a holiday abroad!

  2. I love Sriratcha sauce – it’s pretty mighty stuff!! I remember the first time I used it I figured it’d be like sweet chili sauce – my tastebuds definitely felt the fire quickly!! Love your first photo – the blue bowl in particular!

  3. Can’t wait to read your article on probiotics. I did pretty extensive research on them a few years ago for a project at work (I’m a clinical pharmacist) but I’m sure that there’s been more research published since then. Good Luck!

  7. Yum – I love Sriracha! I’ve never bought it though, since I rarely spice up my food with hot sauces at home. But when we go out for Thai, I love having some to add to my food.

    As for Charlie Brown Christmas, while I love it, it’s way too slow for a workout.

  18. Wondering if you know much about hotels in Charleston. My mom is going on Sunday and would like a cute place to stay near the action. I know that is not where you are, but you seem to know the Southeast cool places.

    • While I can vouch that Charleston is super awesome, I have never stayed downtown so I don’t have a recommendation. Sorry!

    • The Francis Marion is a really nice hotel and centrally located, but the rooms are a tad on the small side. My hubs and I always stay at Renaissance Charleston on Wentworth Street. Another great location, really pretty decor and a fabulous hotel bar. Enjoy your visit!

  33. If you like the saltiness of those pecans, have you ever tried eating salted shelled peanuts whole… Asinine shell and all. My fried started doing it years ago and told me if I loved salt (which I do) to try it. I thought it was weird at first but I’ve been hooked ever since. Now I make everyone else try it. It’s so salty and delicious!

  38. I’ve never heard of watching *any* movie while spinning. I got stuck in a class with bad music last week, and it nearly drove me crazy, yet I felt I’d be rude to leave. (Also, I wanted my workout, gosh darn it!) Good tunes are key for me!
