I am training for my half marathon--but Tavo has also caught the running bug! As a Marine, he's already done a half marathon (and can run about a jillion times faster than me)...but that doesn't stop him from being excited about some new shoes...
I, too, am excited by my crazy silver and blue new adidas...(seriously--all running shoes are gaudy...I want the SILVER ones!!)
One can never go wrong with pizza
or chili...from Maggie's--of Dog Hill Kitchen recipe
Vegetarian Chili. Maggie is from my (Lini's) hometown--Detroit. She is astounding in the kitchen and also building a gorgeous home in northern Michigan. (props to anyone who noticed the Eugenides novel)
and when you have leftover chili and leftover dough...one makes chili pizza!
Tavo and I grew up in a great time--we remember house phones, television without cable, keyboarding, and yet we appreciate and have quickly adopted new technology. Regardless...we fondly embrace the mixed tape. While I love my cell phone, internet and of course, I do dig the I Pod (Tavo says its apparent in my typing that I don't own or use an ipod....) Regardless--its nice to just chill in our 90's truck, and listen to the tape deck. A mixed tape is something that can't quite be replicated in our "I Pod" type world...
you guys remember something like this, I'm sure....

This song breaks my heart every time I hear it--yet, I love it. John Prine, done justice by Bonnie Raitt.

I have tons of nice tapes I could rent you...I could loan them but then I would never get them back.....
you probably wouldn't get them back. Lending tapes is something akin to...well, shit. I'm a librarian.
Okay, I helped open an Italian pizza place in Galveston, and I put chili dog and frito pie pizza on the menu, but this tops them both!
I have "Margaritaville" on vinyl, 8-track, cassette. and CD- young grasshopper!
Chef E--I love putting EVERYTHING on pizzas. I'll probably do a veggie burger with mustard and lettuce today.
Buffalo--I, too, have some 8 tracks! My first 'boyfriend' in high school had an 8 track player in his car--and I made him listen to my Led Zeppelin II every day for the entire 3 months we dated :)
I'm so glad you tried the chili! It sounds great on a pizza.
I think I'm down to three mix tapes. We had two cars back to back that were tape eaters.
