RUN254

An informal collection of training nonsense based chiefly in the sport of endurance running, but with the venture into cycling & swimming. I also occationally share endurance-sport-related news.

Food

I tend to cook a lot. When I do, I often discover new things for myself that I didn’t know before I began cooking a specific meal. These things are not earth shattering, but I hope that, as this list grows, your kitchen wisdom will expand along with mine.

  1. A teaspoon is significantly lager than I originally thought (Feb. 21, 2012)
  2. Cumin and New Mexico chili powder can make most meats taste as if they belong in a taco (Feb. 21, 2012)
  3. Contrary to the belief of some, cilantro is not grown at the gates of Hell
  4. The pancake can only be overwhelmed by another pancake (Feb. 22, 2012)
  5. The first time you try to hold the blender like the guy/gal at the smoothie shop, you will spill smoothie all over your counter (March 18, 2012)
  6. Damn you, Cheetos (March 31-April 5, 2012)
  7. After nearly 5 years of drinking soy or almond milk, real milk tastes like paradise. It’s like eating vegan chocolate cake for five years, then eating a piece of chocolate explosion … one that literally explodes chocolate in your mouth … with every bite. It also happens that this milk is fresh from Oberweis. Thank you, Oberweis.
