40 Recipe Challenge, Part 8: Cajun Chicken & Shrimp Pasta
This is my attempt to replicate the recipe by the same name that TGI Fridays offers. I made this without the red bell peppers, because I’m just not a fan of those things. Here’s what you’ll need: 1lb Fettuccine pasta 1lb chicken breasts or chicken breast tenderloins 1lb shrimp, cooked, with tails removed 1T butter…

A record month.
Today’s 10K marked an important milestone for me: this has now been the most active running month I’ve ever had. I’m at 32.8 miles for the month so far (there are still 7 days left in the month), and I’m about 6 miles away from having a career length of 200 miles run on my…

…and now it’s no big deal.
Last week I ran the first official 5K of the season and was pretty pleased with my time – 28:14, about 75 seconds faster than my time last year. It doesn’t hurt that the weather was a solid 25 degrees warmer this time than it was last time, but I’m glad that I was able…

California Adventure: Thursday, Friday, and Saturday
I woke up Thursday morning to discover that my flight from Chicago to Grand Rapids had been canceled 12 hours early, and United had automatically rebooked me for a flight on Friday morning…at 5am. Ignoring the “I don’t want to” aspect of getting up early enough to get there, this was an impossible situation. The…

40 Recipe Challenge, Part 7: Crock Pot Pulled Pork
After taking several weeks off, I decided it was time to get back into the 40 recipe challenge. This was the first thing I’d done since coming back from California, and it may actually spawn one or two other really good recipes in the next week or two. I had looked for crock pot pulled…

Minion Brewing: 1492 IPA
It may be Lent, and I may not be drinking (20 days to go!), but that certainly won’t stop me from making beer. Last weekend (March 10) my friend and I decided to brew a batch of beer. It was my turn to get the kit, so I went to the homebrew supply store and…

California Adventure: Wednesday
Wednesday was Day 1 of the Dry Lent, and (supposedly) my last day in town. My friend had to work and go to a few classes, so I was left to wander. We made plans to do dinner in San Francisco, so I decided to head out there early and wander around a bit. Prior…

California Adventure: Tuesday
I had previously blogged about some of Tuesday’s major adventures, so rather than rehash it all again I’ll just summarize: Tuesday my friend had class and work, so around 1 I decided to head downtown in search of a local sushi place. The result: Party Sushi. Following the California and Bomb rolls, I moved on…

California Adventure: Monday
After doing a lot of walking around on Saturday and Sunday, Monday was a pretty calm and relaxed day. With it being President’s Day, my friend had the day off from work and the campus was pretty quiet. We decided to head back onto campus and head up to the top of the tower on…
