Windy day blew me away

This mornings sunrise, well almost

I love the daily mile website to log the cycling miles. I was so obsessed about finding the shortest way to work, that I overlooked the easiest way. This morning I decided to follow hubbie on his bike and actually was able to see him about 200 yards away. I usually go by the creek and my toes would be freezing so bad I couldn't walk. My toes felt great this morning. My phone was left on the bus so wasn't able to track the minutes today.

My meals haven't been very healthy lately. Our truck isn't running, so its hard to get to the store. So hubbie and I grab what ever we can. Can't wait to go grocery shopping Saturday with brother-in-laws truck.

The wind started to pick up around 10:00 am. North winds up to 20 mph...except north 10 to 30 mph west of the Sacramento River. Gusts up to 30 mph in the evening, and I sure felt it riding home. It took 35 minutes just to get to the bike trails. It felt like I would never get home so made a phone call to my brother-in-law.

Worked today

I left for work about 6:45 am by bike and Hubbie came with me. I have bad thoughts going over the railroad tracks ever since my pedals got stuck and I thought I saw train lights and panicked when I couldn't get them out. Also he is much stronger them I am going over the overpass so he pulled me up and over. As soon as we finished going through the bike trail I told him to go back home and I can finish going to work by my self. Arrived at work at 7:55 am. going 6.0 miles.

Left to go home at 2.24 pm and called Hubbie when I came off the trail. He wanted to met me on his bike at the main corner arrived at 3:03 which totaled 5.04 miles,

 and called back to tell me that he had a flat. He wanted to meet me so bad so I agreed to wait for him with his brothers truck.

He bought his big gulp and I thought I deserved a BK stacker. It was so good.

When we arrived home we started supper.

Lemon dill salmon

Red potatoes with 1 package of Lipton onion dry mix and 1/3 c oil.

It was yummy but a little to oily.

Starting to enjoy my bike

I am starting to enjoy an old love, my bike. I had my first Schwin bike at 5 years old and never put it  down since. My favorites were medal wheeled skates, skate boarding (shaped like a red saucer), and my precious bike that I wouldn't get of till my mom called me in when the street lights went on. I rode to High School and back, to Huntington Beach, Newport Beach. When we moved to Northern Sac at age 19 I found the American River trail. I fell in love with the area. I would put on my backpack full of food, sterno, and water. I would go down the trail and find a good spot for lunch and enjoy the senery. I would find as many places to go as I could, putting on over 30 miles on the weekend. I found a job by the American River Community College and rode my bike from The Birdcage Mall to the College.
So now I'm hoping to overcome the chore of riding my bike, to enjoying my bike.

I need to eat more for the energy, I find myself a little week from forgetting to prepare meals ahead of time.

Had to stop at Taco Bell on the way home, didn't like stopping.

One good thing not driving is you can get your camera out and not miss a thing.

Cycling day

Today hubby and I went for a bike ride and left at 12:00 pm. We called Pick and Pull to see if our check was ready for the Infinity we turned in Friday. It was so we rode our bike over and then rode to the bank. We were 5 minutes to late so had to put it in the ATM machine. Then DS's IPHONE cover didn't work, it blocked the reception of all calls. We had 30 days to return it. That was $35 dollars back into our bank. Then we headed towards the miners ravine bike trail

towards hubbies 76 station for his big gulp. Then headed for our short cut across the railroad tracks to the next bike trail towards home. We arrived at 3:00 pm.

I tried a new recipe today and it really turned out so good. All of us raved on how good it was. It's a new family favorite.

JOSIE'S SHEPHERD'S PIE
4-6 pieces bacon, chopped
2 pounds ground beef
Small onion, chopped, 2.5 ounces
Salt and pepper
1/4 teaspoon toasted onion powder
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1 egg, beaten
8 ounces cheddar cheese, shredded and divided
16 ounce package frozen green beans
16 ounce package frozen cauliflower (I replaced mashed potatoes)
3 tablespoons butter, divided
1/4 cup sour cream
1 tablespoon chives, minced
In a large skillet, fry the bacon until crisp; drain well and set aside. In the same skillet, brown the hamburger and onion, seasoning with salt and pepper; drain the fat. In a 7 1/2 x 11 3/4" baking dish, mix the hamburger, bacon, onion and garlic powders. Check the seasoning for salt and adjust if needed, then stir in the beaten egg and half of the cheese. Spread over the bottom of a baking dish.
Meanwhile, in a medium pot, cook the green beans according to the package directions; drain well then return to the pot and stir in 1 tablespoon butter. Season to taste with salt. Spread the beans over the meat layer. In the same pot, cook the cauliflower 10-12 minutes until very tender; drain well. Put the cauliflower, 2 tablespoons butter and the sour cream in a food processor. Puree until smooth. Add the chives and pulse to blend. Adjust the seasoning, if necessary, then spread evenly over the green beans. Sprinkle the remaining cheese over the top. Bake at 350º for 35 minutes, until hot and bubbly.
Makes 8 very generous servings
Can be frozen

I tweaked this recipe from JosieL a bit to use two pounds of hamburger instead of 1 1/2 pounds, added extra cheese and used the whole bag of frozen green beans. Be sure to season each layer of the casserole well because it will be hard to add seasoning later. The original recipe was made in a 9x9" pan, but I didn't have one that size and 8x8" would be too small. I would not try using a 9x13"pan because the mashed "potatoes" and cheese would be spread too thinly. This is very homey, comfort food.
