Another post. Aren't you excited?

Well, this morning was a bummer. Again my treadmill is having issues. It's not even the motor. My running board has cracked yet again and now I have to call NordicTrac and complain. And I'm sure they'll ask me how much I weigh, as usual. I guess they can't comprehend the fact that pressed board is not strong enough to last past a few months if you use it almost every day. And this time I've stopped running 10 milers everyday. I'm lucky to get 8 miles every other day now. This is insane. This is a running treadmill...not for walkers. This thing can go 10 mph. Do you know a walker who walks 10 mph? I don't. Anyway, so now I have to freak out and figure out how to get my miles in before the TX sun comes and blisters the pavement. It is August you know.

On another front, I've googled a Japanese recipe site that is blogged by a real Japanese woman with children and she puts the recipes down that she fed her family for the day. It is so cool because it's authentic, not pre-packaged crap. Of course, some of the recipe ingredients will be hard to come by but lucky us..being in the military..there are buttloads of Asian markets around here. I'm looking forward to making AUTHENTIC ramen. I don't think I'll be making lots of tempura or none at all since all that is is breaded, deep-fried, cholesterol killing food. Ha! But I can't wait to make miso soup, udon/soba noodles, and all the other stuff. No sushi (not that I don't like it....I really do) because it takes a master to make those. But that is okay! This is exciting stuff here.

Well, that is all that is happening on the homefront. "Ta-ta!" for now!
