Going the distance

Cold and rainy today, and forecast as now is for a 100% chance of rain on Saturday. Weather may factor in as to my performance and results, but rain or shine, I'm going to be doing the Delano Park Run and giving it my best endurance effort.

Delano Park: Gordon Dr. SE (off 6th Ave.)
6 AM to 6 PM Saturday March 14, 2009

TO ANY OF MY LOCAL FRIENDS:
IF YOU DON'T HAVE ANYTHING ELSE TO DO AND HAPPEN TO BE IN DECATUR ON SATURDAY....STOP BY AND GIVE ME SOME CHEERS AND SUPPORT. (AND GATORADE, DRY SOCKS, ETC...)

Later edit: 2.5 mile walk. 40 degrees, wind chill 31 degrees;   Total mileage for this week: 25 miles  (And to think I might come close to equalling that in one fell swoop!!!)

OMG food porn....

I'm frosting the cakes and I had to do a "quality control" taste test.  Took a bite sized scrap of the green tea flavored cake and put a bit of the lemon-ginger frosting on it to sample.

Damn, this combination of flavors/recipes definitely goes in the save and make again file! (If I do say so myself, and hope others agree with me.)



Lemon-Ginger Frosting recipe (my own)

2 sticks butter
1 cup vegetable shortening

cream together

add 1/2 ts powdered ginger

gradually add 1.5 lbs powdered sugar

add 4 TB lemon juice

makes enough to frost two  (9 inch round) (three layer) cakes
