Macheesmo

One of the worst things about tearing my ACL six months ago (aside from the pain) was that I couldn’t ride my mountain bike any more!

I was finally getting decent at navigating some of the local trails and then I had to sit out the whole summer season because of the knee.

But this weekend, I’m back in action. I did some short and simple trails two week ago and now I’m ready to kick it up a notch. I’m going to be doing the trail pictured on the right this weekend.

Wish me luck!

The Poll

One of my best friends who happens to be a vegetarian is visiting me this week so let’s cook something veggie friendly in his honor.

The Links

Homemade Salt Water Taffy – This is one of those things that I just never even thought about making at home. I’m sure it’s delicious, but it also looks really fun. (@ Cupcake Project)

Chocolate Raspberry Torte – This is my kind of food porn. I mean, in reality, there’s just no way I’m ever going to make this, but I sure do like looking at it. (@ Sprinkle Bakes)

Homemade Ricotta – I think this looks sort of similar to the homemade cheese I made last week, but with lots of different applications. Looks great! (@ Sticky Gooey Creamy Chewy)

Tofu Avocado Salad – This looks really refreshing to me. I especially enjoy the generous handful of cilantro! (@ PBS Food)

Connect with me!
