TAN #64 - A Case of Temporary InTANity (Page 42)

Well, good luck with that - hopefully it's nothing too severe. Do you have a lot of races planned for this season, already?

Mine only hurts on the inside edge of my left knee, right in the knee itself, it seems (like in the soft part of the joint, if you were to poke it from the outside). And sometimes it hurts a bit further down, below the actual knee joint, but still off to the side (so not patellar tendonitis), which is why I think the doc said tendonitis, as there are ligaments/tendons that attach at that point. They jerked my leg all around and nothing seemed to hurt, so who knows.

Do NOT get me started about the evils of aspartame. 

A friend of mine was going to a doctor and geting some sort of appetite suppressant injection every week or so.  He also cut out carbs completely.

He's lost almost 50 lbs in 10 weeks, but I'm pretty sure his liver and kidneys hate him.

He doesn't have the most common sense...

Just think of me in my jammers.... that should get you nice and warmed up.
 

You are one randy preacherman

randy?!?!!?  sheesh... I just thought the image would be so ridiculous you would laugh your @$$ off... and thereby be warmed up.... where was YOUR mind? Who is the randy one? 

*snerk* I know, I'm sort of disappointed that I won't get to see your ridiculous a$$ at Rocky Gap this year

cause you're not going to be there? 

Well, I am not sure if I will be or not - depends on if my church-tri-buddies do it again this year. I know some of them are looking to expand their triathlon horizons, so a little race like that might not be appealing. Plus, I thought that you aren't doing it since it's right after Black Bear, so even if I am there, you won't be?

Oddly, my church's women's retreat is at the Rocky Gap Lodge this year, in two weeks. If it wasn't January, I'd bring my bike and get some practice on the course. I will probably run it, though, while I'm there.

the fear threads continue to overrun TAN.

since all hotels in san francisco are expensive, i might as well pick the sheraton on fisherman's wharf, right???

I'm thinking about going... whether I race or not is yet to be decided... my tri club always has a good showing.  So I might go even if I don't race.

Kewl. I have to see what the interest is among my friends and that will be the determinant. But since it's so hilly, it'd be a good thing to prep for over the next few months, and that would help me step up my game to prep for Luray in August.

I wouldn't be so quick to dismiss it.  I stopped drinking diet soda and have dropped a few pounds without making many adjustments to the rest of my diet.  I drink a lot more water, too, which is helpful.

hehe...that's a common knitting project and I always thought they were kind of lame.  I was thinking the same thing this morning.

Oh...and good morning!  It's Friday.

Too bad it's crazy cold everywhere.

TAN -

I officially got my Northface skiing gear and I'm ready to ski.....pray for warmer weather for me or at least weather above NEGATIVE degrees for tomorrow!

it is too cold to even breathe outside!  my office is FREEZING!  i guess they didn't put heat in here when the building was built because IT WAS A FREAKING BROOM CLOSET.

hey i'll be in richmond all day sunday.  is there anywhere NICE that serves lunch on sundays??

Yep.  You want brunch or just lunch or both?  And what part of Richmond?  I've got a few places I can recommend.

lunch.  chesterfield side of richmond, i think?  but actually in the city is OK too.  neil's family is doing a big celebration for his PE and according to his mom nowhere serves lunch??

Good moring!  I brought in my book of culinary gold...  20 years to build and recipes that cover generations...

"Mom's Swedish Meatballs"

• Frozen Meatballs (Large bag - Like from Sam's Club)
• 2 cans Cream of Mushroom Soup (I get the low-fat)
• 1 cup sour cream (again - low fat)
• 1 tsp worshtishire
• 1/4 cup mild (skim)
• 1 pkg Onion Soup (dried like Lypton)
• Dash of Tobasco

Throw everything in a crock pot and cook for several hours until hot.  I think I put it at 250 degrees or so.  Stir a couple of times and serve with a crusty bread.

Couple notes.  The recipe orginally did not call for all the low fat stuff.  That was my change, and it doesn't seem to have hurt anything.  However, this is not a 'health food' my any means.  The meatballs themselves are terrible for you.  I thought about finding turkey meatballs (if they exist) and try them.
