Green thread?????????????Well, this isn't a tip but I rode my bike today for the first time in a year, Yes,
it was only 4 blocks but I rode my bike today for the first time in a year.Well, actually, this week I don't feel as incredibly good as I did last week. In
fact my feet are really bad the last 2 days, but it's the nature of AP to be 3
steps forward, 2 steps back. I'm for sure doing way better than I was 6
months ago.
Green green green...it's so hot around here, and I'm embarrassed to drive
my car. You know what's green and good? Farmer's markets. Now, that's
buying local!Oh I LOVE farmers markets. There's one in Warwick, NY every Sunday at the train station. local farmers, bakers, wine makers, and flower growers, honey farmers all there from the first Sunday in May through the last Sunday in October. It's great. I like to go to places like that with no particular recipes in mind, I just buy what looks great and figure it out on the drive home.YUM! I'm going to one this afternoon. It satrts at 12. Last week I went at 4
and everything was gone except cherries and kale, so today I'm going a lot
earlier.Hey, let me know what you end up getting!Oh yeah! I got carrots and beets and fennel and little yellow squash and
mustard greens and mixed greens with flowers and sorrel and brocolli and
fava beans and blueberries and cherries and it's all so fresh and organic.
Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!...and potatoes and onions!fennel is good if you slice it up with an onion, some carrots, and sort of make a bed in the roasting pan with it and roast a chicken or pork roast on top. I love fennel - great raw in salads too.Gimpy - congratulations on the bike ride. We are in the middle of a huge 3 (now 5) year road widening project, and the bike trail has just been laid out finally in front of our place, but it will be another year before the intersection is finished so I can get to the main trail system. That's my goal, to get back on a bike which I haven't done since maybe high school. And a few years ago I was jogging the beach and in a kick boxing class. You go gogo. CathyThanks Cathy....my bike used to be my main mode of transportation (at
least in the summer) before my knee was invaded by RA. I'm actually
going to sell my bike and buy one that's easier to ride (ie: one with
gears). Vancouver is hilly!
You rode your bike! I didn't know! See Pip do the happy, happy AP dance!
Pip
Yes, Pip! It's true, I rode it four blocks on Tuesday, haha! Not quite the long bike ride yet, but I credit it all to AP.
