I’m Running a Marathon Tomorrow
So yeah, I’m running a marathon tomorrow. In the rain. But running in the rain is nothing new here. If you follow me on twitter, the last few days have been filled of tweets regarding the state of Vermont’s weather, but alas, I cannot control it, so I just need to ignore it and try to be prepared as I can be. This may have involved purchasing a rain and wind proof running jacket at the expo today. Anyway, it rained our entire drive to Vermont, and even on the ferry. Typical ferry weather. It was my first time ever taking a ferry by car, so it was kind of…

Weekend Happenings
So far I’ve had a pretty fun weekend! Friday night after work Chris and I met some friends for dinner at one of our favorite places, the Albany Pump Station! We split the nachos for an appetizer but for dinner I went with something new, the lobster sandwich. I had never seen it on the menu before so I wanted to give it a try.

There were some decent sized chunks of lobster in there. The menu…

We should have known better, but just wanted to check for the heck of it. Enter My Linh, the Vietnamese restaurant that we never think to go to, only a few steps away from the Spectrum on Delaware…

What is Tempeh?
Sunday night I made a dish out of my new cookbook (that I won over at Relishments!), How to Cook Everything Vegetarian. A lot of the recipes in here are easy and they don’t have strange ingredients that I have to search high and low for. So far I’ve made two recipes from this, the first being Wild Rice with Roasted Winter Squash. It came out amazing and lasted me a week’s worth of lunches! Anyway, the second recipe I tried was Tempeh with Brown Rice and Spinach. Whenever I mention tempeh, I get weird looks. What the heck is it? Tempeh is made from slightly fermented soybeans and pressed…
