Evondo's Group - CLOSED! (Page 192)

KeriKadi - 2010-07-18 8:48 PM I have a very Nicoleish story from my ride today....

My plan was to skip the first stop but my bladder didn't like that plan so I stopped and stood in line for the port a potties.  My turn comes up - keep in mind at least 20 people in line....  I go in, lock the door, drop trau and hover bracing myself with that post in the back on the right so I'm kind of hover squatting and using the post for support.
Well.... cleets aren't known for their traction and of course the floor is wet (thanks guys) and my right foot slips out from under me, slams into the door which flings open

The good news is I was hovering/falling and my shorts weren't pulled down too far so I don't think they saw anything but the loss of my dignity.  Thanfully it closed on it's own so I didn't have to stand up to pull the door shut.  Finished my biz and when I came out half the folks were laughing and the other half were staring at the sky.   Good times!

Emmanem - 2010-07-19 12:29 PM Copied from my TL....

Not the greatest morning... one of the my sister's good friends was in a bad wreck last night we spent a good bit of the morning trying to find out if he was ok and what happened.  He was transferred to a hospital in Charleston but from what we know he doesn't have any broken bones, but he does have a bad concussion and he was transferred so he could be monitored more closely for head trauma.  It seems like he's gonna be ok; they just want to make sure he doesn't have any swelling or bleeding in his brain.  

Annie's still getting phone calls and texts with updates on his condition.  Everything we've heard so far has been good news.  Supposedly he flipped his car 5 times, so the situation could've been much worse than it is.  Everyone please send good thoughts/prayers his way.  We hope he will be discharged soon so he can come home.

Coconut Mango Rice - the easy way

bzgl40 - 2010-07-19 4:15 PM Everyone was really speedy with the RR's.  Nice.  So, if it has fruit it is healthy right?

Coconut Mango Rice - the easy way

Rinse 1-2 cups rice (I prefer calrose rice).
Add appropriate amount of water for your rice type.
Start cooking
Open 1-2 cans of coconut milk (I usually use 2)
Pour into saucepan
Add in 1/3 c. sugar per can of coconut milk (I use raw sugar but it does turn the milk more brown).
Cook at medium heat until sugar fully dissolves, then set aside.
When rice finishes cooking (or a few minutes prior to it finishing if you can guess it correctly). Unplug your rice cooker or remove rice pan from burner and pour in ¾ of the coconut & sugar solution.  Stir it around a bit and let sit for 30+ minutes.
Serve with sliced mango.  Pour/drizzle remaining coconut milk on top and sprinkle with sesame seeds for looks

Nicole83 - 2010-07-20 5:41 AM Oh good, coconut makes me yack.  Usually you have me drooling before I've even had my second cup of coffee when you post recipes Kim.  I'm actually kinda glad I don't like this one. 

bzgl40 - 2010-07-20 10:10 AM Ugh, really?  It's only Tuesday?  UGH

bzgl40 - 2010-07-20 2:16 PM What would the group do?  I normally would have run early this morning.  However, some silly little database down thing preventing me from heading out.  The temps are near 100 now and probably will be by lunch (and they will be over 100 by after work).  My house is at 80, so it is not "cool" but it is not in the sun and I do have a fan.  Would you do your run indoors and be bored to tears or run outside with lots of water and just take an easy pace?  I know Nicole will tell me to skip it so I don't spank her arse too bad in our competition so that is not a valid response.  Note, there is NO shade on my route at all (and no way to find any).

kcarroll - 2010-07-20 11:43 AM I lived just north of you and the sensible thing to do is run indoors.  That said, I think preservation of mental health is as important as physical health.  I'd take lots of water, some salt tabs, maybe even shorten it up or do a shorter loop that passes back by your house for an ice break. But do be careful.  If you're not really willing to slow down and shorten if necessary, then stay inside.  Of course, I melted in 90 degree weather last weak so take my advice with caution.

bzgl40 - 2010-07-20 4:22 PM OK, went outside and kept it slow and easy.  Like Kim said, the mental break was just as important as the run.  I did get whistled at.  By guys though so it doesn't count. 

I have a pigeon hanging out at my front door that must be injured.  He never really leaves when I come out the door.  Every now and then he gets on the fence to where the cats can see it.  So, the cats are climbing up my walls and blinds trying to get at this pigeon.  Anyone want to come to my house and do a little target practicing?

Nicole83 - 2010-07-20 4:42 PM For what it's worth, I get really annoyed when I get whistled at or cat called by men when I'm working out, but really flattered when another woman checks me out, so guys don't count for me either. 

Nice job on the run.  You are a better woman than I, the treadmill is my friend lately.  I just can't hang in 100 degree heat.

Kim, glad your run worked out ok.  Hawt is hawt. A whistle is a whistle.  They all count.  

Can't help you with the pigeon. Last week a robin started building a nest in the tree just outside my kitchen window.  Was fun to watch.  Normally the cats are not counter loungers (old guy can't jump up that far), but I haven't been able to keep Max-the-Thug off the counter next to the sink.  He just sits there and gurgles.  Once the eggs hatch he may croak from unfulfilled, overstimulation.

That is true. I whisteled at JC at BSLT because he is a sexy beastly mans man and he liked it. He has the PR to prove it.

bzgl40 - 2010-07-21 4:35 PM So looks like there is no water for SOMA.    Sounds like they will barely have water for IMAZ.  Not entirely sure what they will do.  I hope I don't end up in another point-to-point-to-point race cause that will suck.
