Because it's cold here -- it is so cold and windy here today that it boggles the mind that I was at the beach last weekend -- water is not quite as much a necessity.

But perhaps that's just my affinity for ginger. You might find otherwise! I hope you still enjoyed your veggies.<BR/><BR/>Do you take water with you on these long walks? And food? I don't know how fast you walk 8-10 miles, but personally, I bring water on any run over 30-40 minutes, and food (so to speak) on runs longer than an hour and a Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07338782102030629262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12904310.post-38937728856113128032008-04-17T12:59:00.000-07:002008-04-17T12:59:00.000-07:00The noodles were amazing for lunch today!!I had th...The noodles were amazing for lunch today!!<BR/><BR/>I had them cold and slashed a few drops of sesame oil on them. <BR/><BR/>Sort of a noodle/vegetable salad.

I'm trying to keep a lot of plates spinning, and since I'm concentrating so much time and energy on one particular plate, others are falling down (which in turn creates more stress).<BR/><BR/>I did take some time this weekend to make strawberry jam with some Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07338782102030629262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12904310.post-53190582610004422692008-04-16T15:20:00.000-07:002008-04-16T15:20:00.000-07:00My dear Anne,I bought lots of stir-fry veggies at ...My dear Anne,<BR/><BR/>I bought lots of stir-fry veggies at the store today -- just so I could try this sauce!
