A few weeks ago I bought some winter weight exercise pants from Baleaf, because it is getting awfully cold out there. And I can't always go to the gym if I have a day stacked with meetings (like today). To actually get a walk/jog/dog time in I'm going to have to suck it up and go outside.
To be honest, the other night I was out there and it was 27 degrees. I had on my regular yoga pants, which don't go all the way to my shoes. My whole body was really comfortable, no wind was blowing (this is a major plus) but my shins and feet were freezing. Your girl was okay.
I have LL Bean gloves where the fingers flip up and your finger tips can be out (good for the Pokemon playing or the playlist shuffling). A sweatshirt with a hood, my columbia sportswear jacket liner, I'm pretty good to go as long as there is no wind!
So these pants got their maiden voyage today in between meetings. Super comfy and warm, extra pockets, which is nice. I feel like they are too long but it is better than too short. I did a 20 min walk around the block, super comfortable and happy. Would have kept going, but had to get back for a meeting. Ten thumbs up for the pants.
Oh, and it was 40 degrees and no wind today. Perfect. I wished I'd gone out 30 min. earlier to pack in a good long walk but I had to get back for a meeting. I did end up going out after dinner for another quickie since I was about 1500 steps shy of my goal for the day. And it was still perfect out. Aaaah.
Thanks Pants!
Last night, if you recall, I had peeled those apples, and put them in the fridge for today. I intended to make the pie at noon but didn't get to it until about 4:45pm due to meetings (and the fact when I should have been getting the pie ready I went for that walk, but the walk was important). I used a recipe I found online for sour cream apple pie, or Pennsylvania Dutch apple pie. I had made something similar many times in the past with a different recipe, I think it also had cranberries in it. I lost that recipe, it was cut out of a newspaper in 1990! I usually fail at the streusel topping, but this one worked out AND included walnuts.
It came out beautifully at around 6:30pm, and was still hot when we cut into it so the ice cream got melty and delicious. I am very happy with the recipe and the results.
Geoff made a cheesy chicken alfredo thing for dinner. Heck it was tasty. We created so many dishes though, I had to run the dishwasher twice and there are still bowls in the sink for the morning...
And, thank God for the dishwasher. That would have been about 10 sinks of dishes, drying, washing, drying.... forever.
