Homemade Tortillas, Free Food and Fantasy (Football)

Why, hello!

Faegan doesn’t really like all the storms we’ve been having. After last night’s adventure with the firefighters, and tonight’s round of nasty storms, he’s been trying to hide under the curtains. Can’t blame him, because they have been boomy!

I thought the rain might thwart my plans for a run, but the clouds cleared up just long enough for a quick 3.1 miles. I thought Lucas and I would be running together. But he is SO fast — he couldn’t even be my rabbit because after about a quarter-mile I couldn’t see him anymore. He did his 5K in about 21 minutes; I did mine in about 28. Not bad. I think we’re both going to do a race together next weekend:

And obviously, I mean by do it together, he’ll wait for me at the finish line with water and a banana. (That’s what she said).

I have to brag on some pretty successful food experiments over the last few days. For dinner last night, I used up (finally) the last of the pesto, mixing it into some organic wheat udon noodles and some summer squash:

That little sprinkle of parmesan made the meal.

Tonight, I decided to take this recipe and tweak it a little to make homemade spinach tortillas, stuffed with organic beef, corn, onions, cheese and salsa.

Drool. The tortillas weren’t as pliable as I had hoped, and the meat, corn and salsa made them a little soggy, but they tasted great, and we just scooped everything onto a fork and ate it up. I halved the tortilla recipe and it still made 6 tortillas, so I’ll be using the rest up in lunches this week!

Great googly moogly! Anyone else shocked how September snuck up? September is my half-birthday month, which means that I am almost 29.5 and about to head down the hill to 30. Yikes. I am conflicted about the birthday. I don’t mind getting older, and I’ve accomplished almost all of the goals I laid out for myself by this age, but I find myself cringing when I realize that kids in college now were born in the ’90s. Shudder.

I’ve started a free fantasy football league, and if you want to join, drop me a comment with your email address, or send me an email: kwidrick@sillytatertot.com. It’s going to be fun and there’s no pressure to do well — you don’t even have to follow football! You can pick a team of hot players, or funny names or be totally random. Or, you can be like me, and study the fantasy football forums and refresh your iPhone every 5 minutes to check on your team. All types are welcome.

Falling asleep at the keyboard, so I’ll leave you with some eye candy:

Ahhh, I miss home.
