Ox Tail

 

Another new food sampled and enjoyed.  The next new food in our culinary adventures was ox tail.  Yet another good pick that Little Man also loved.  So far we are two for two. 

 

Andy put this culinary delight in the crock pot for the day and served it over rice.  It was wonderful.  

Vermont City Marathon

I have been blessed with an amazing community of runners around me.  One of those amazing ladies won a relay team in the Vermont City Marathon, and I really had no excuse for not joining the relay team.  It was the perfect day for running, and I was able to cheer on, run with and celebrate with the amazing running community in Vermont. I loved every minute of it! I was able to hang out with co-workers, my cross country runners and Little Man's friends who's moms were also running the same leg as me while we waited for our teammates running the leg before us.  I was able to run with and cheer on friends who were running longer distances than myself (either a full or half marathon).  It was an incredible day and I was so glad I was able to share it with so many amazing people.

Garden Time

It is Memorial Day weekend, the happiest weekend of the year.  Why, you might ask?  Because it marks the weekend that New England gardeners put their veggies in the ground.  To be honest, there are still a few plants that we bought but have yet to plant (tomatoes, peppers) because the fear of frost still looms. This said, all of the plants/seeds have been bought and all the cold-hardy ones are in the ground.
