The Newspaper

What’s black and white and red all over?

THE NEWSPAPER!

and…..

Two silly runners bundled up in 26*

IMG_0071 (640x480) (2)

Around 11 I decided I was digested enough to go for a run (although in hindsight I probably should have waited another hour because I was quite full once we got started). We bundled up in moisture-wick gear topped with layers and set out. Within 5 minutes I was hot and sweaty inside!

Matt and I did 5 miles together and then I dropped him off to do 2 more! 7 is the new 5. I’m trying to keep my mileage on the edge to keep challenging myself and prepare for half marathon training (although I guess it has unofficially begun already since I’m ahead of the game). Hills + the cold kept our pace hovering closer to 9:00 than 8:00 but overall the run was great. My 2 extra miles were a piece of cake (although I was starting to feel it during mile 6 – hence the edge!) [<– too many "althoughs!"] I ended up running

this !
7.35 miles! A personal distance record for me.

Matt is brewing beer today and I pittered around doing some cleaning upstairs until about an hour went by and I still hadn’t gotten hungry. I think that breakfast was majorly over the top. I LOVE LOVE LOVE breakfast and I do think my portions have gotten a bit out of control lately. I finally felt a little nauseous around 2PM so I think that was the only kind of hunger I was going to feel with my longer run taking away my appetite, so I made lunch.

Since I had bread for breakfast, I didn’t want to have 2 more slices for my black-eyed pea patty burger, so I made a deconstructed burger!

IMG_3327 (640x427)

Spinach with a black-eyed pea patty with pickle, mustard, ketchup and toasted flax

IMG_3328 (640x427)

If you look carefully you can see the broken burger under there! It was quite good and was really burger-like!

IMG_3329 (640x427)

On the side I had an Oikos with some granola and half a small banana with Crofter’s Superfruit spread. Yumberries!

IMG_3330 (640x427)

This used to be a soap dish that I never used so it is now part of the kitchen collection!

IMG_3326 (640x427)

IMG_3324 (640x427)

Currently munching on a Biscoff and about to set out on a grocery store trip. Since we both work in foodservice right now and get lunches on the job, I just need a few things for dinner – our grocery list is so small!! We’re headed out of town next weekend so I’m trying to use up the fridge this week. I apologize in advance for pantry/leftover meals – but I promise my creativity will come back when this grueling commute rotation is over!

Where are we going?

NEW YORK CITY! One of our friends from college is getting married on Sunday night. We’re flying out Saturday and returning on Monday afternoon. Thank goodness school is out for MLK Day or I would have been in a bind with my internship!

NYC Readers: Please email me if you want to be on the email list for a meet-up. The plans include a visit to Brooklyn Brewery on Saturday afternoon and a run on Sunday morning! Katheats at Gmail.com 🙂 (I probably won’t send anything until mid-week, FYI)

    The Brooklyn Brewery is really fun! It’s pretty small but you learn alot and they have a great assortment of brews. There is a cool bowling alley right next store (Brooklyn Bowl) that also has the brews on tap if you wanted to do something else in the area.

    Is that an old shaving creme dish? Is that why it says “lather” on it? Or am I missing something.

    I went to Brooklyn Brewery last weekend!! It was my bf’s birthday and their Brooklyn Lager is his favorite beer. It’s fun but gets crowded so I would recommend going on the early side. Let me know if you want any other restaurant or things to do suggestions. I’ve lived here for several years now and love sharing my favorite things about the city!

    I have a question unrelated to this post: do you have any fun healthy baking ideas that use frozen cranberries? I have a bunch in the freezer and think they would be great in some kind of bread or muffin, but don’t want to use a bucket of oil and sugar, and would prefer to use whole grains rather than the process white stuff. Any thoughts?

        Thanks! Unfortunately I’m crock-pot-less. I found this: http://www.recipezaar.com/Healthy-Cranberry-Muffins-106685, which looks like it could be tinkered with to clean it up a bit – replacing the shortening (with 1/2 canola oil, 1/2 pureed pumpkin?) and reducing the sugar. Wish me luck!

    You’re so disciplined skipping the bread with lunch. I have about 6 or 7 servings of grains a day lol. 😳

    Kath-
    I’m having the same issue with breakfast! I wake up hungry so I need to start the day with a big breakfast which is totally fine, but I almost feel too full afterward. It’s gotten to the point where I’m hesitant to agree to meet friends for lunch at a restaurant because I’ve just had such a big meal. I think I may try scaling back gradually- but only a bit. Breakfast is still great, I just want to enjoy lunch as well 🙂

        I have no idea where you’re staying/where the wedding is/how much time you’ll have, but here are some places you and/or Matt might enjoy (I love me some good beer too):

        Hop Devil Grill – huuuuge beer selection, super fun East Village location (St Mark’s between 1st Ave and Ave A)
        Brooklyn Beer Garden (Radegast Hall & Beer Garden) – N 3rd St & Berry
        Supper – good brunch, good dinner, good atmosphere (2nd Ave b/t Ave A and Ave B)
        Freeman’s – ditto (Freeman’s Alley b/t Chrystie and Bowery)

        My main recommendation – stay DOWNTOWN and you will have a hard time going wrong! (East Village, West Village, Lower Eastside, SOHO are the most fun in my opinion)
