Quick Random Thoughts for Nov 25 2012
1. If I consistently posted these, they wouldn't be random.
2. I am forcing myself not to do anything outdoors this holiday weekend in the hope that my knee will be well before I go to Ecuador to kayak.
3. Still, I managed to go on a hike on Friday. We went to Coldwater Mtn., link to info here: http://www.neabc.org/coldwater-mountain-bike-trail-project.htm. We were going to ride bikes but I had an equipment malfunction, so we hiked instead. It's a fantastic new park, many banked turns and whoop-te-do's in the trail.
4. My crossfit box bought a new building! We will have space for our ever-increasing group of athletes to train.
5. I am beyond bored right now.

Rollin rollin rollin...
Few of us went rolling today. We went to a private lake that a buddy of ours lives near (as in, 100 yards from his house). He didn't roll with us, due to a severe hangover. Three of us rolled. Two women and one man. The man got out after about 20 minutes. Us women stayed and rolled and rolled. I laughed at one point and said to her, "Well, we are crazy". Water was cold, not Nanty cold, it was warm enough outside and I was in my drysuit.
Still.
It was kind of crazy.
I love this sport.

Red Beans and Rice
This is so easy to make, and so good, I am going to share it with you. It's Joan's recipe for Red Beans and Rice:
Red Beans & Rice
2 c dried red beans plus 1 T baking soda
1 chopped onion
3 cloves of garlic
1 can diced tomatoes
1 t cumin
2 t salt
2 T Joan’s chili powder or add extra cayenne for store bought
32 oZ chicken or vegetable stock
¼ c fresh cilantro
2 c dried red beans soaked overnight with 1 T baking soda
Rinse and drain the next morning. Saute onions & garlic till they begin
to sweat. Add tomatoes and spices and cook down a bit. Place beans and tomato mixture to crock pot. Cook 7 hours on low.
Saute Andouille sausage and set aside to stir in at last minute. Garnish with fresh cilantro.
