Getting Away From Winter ... in Chicago

Garfield Park Conservatory in Chicago, IL is great place to hang out in winter if you miss the green color and warmth of summertime.

Poached Duck Eggs

Poached Duck Eggs

I love cooking and eating poached eggs.  With a little practice, I learned how to keep the yolk just the way I liked it.  Poaching is a way to cook eggs using a relatively lower temperature compared to most baking, frying, or scrambling.  Sometimes I wonder if the lower temperature has the advantage of preventing nutrients from being damaged by heat.

Beautiful Shiitake Mushrooms!

These are some of the most beautiful shiitake mushrooms I have ever seen.  We use them mostly in soups and stews.

Festive Running

It's Christmas Eve, which for me means I can wear my festive, candy cane running tights!  It just snowed, and it's nice and pretty out.

My Recent Long Run History

Long runs are a challenge for me, but I love them.  I like planning the course I’ll take.  I enjoy using the time to think.  I never do any runs with music, which makes them easier for me to use as an exercise in mindfulness.  The sense of accomplishment from finishing a long run strengthens me.

Virginia Bluebell Flowers, Knoch Knolls Park, Naperville, IL

This is a beautiful place for walking, running, or biking.  There is a long, paved trail that goes through a nice, open, area, that is lined with trees, and ends at a cool bridge over the DuPage River.
