food overload
love your citrus
We had rib eye steaks a few nights ago because I got lazy and didn’t want to cook an elaborate meal. In my effort to cut down on beef consumption, we split a one-pound rib eye between the two of us and ended up saving half of it for leftovers. I found it in the fridge while rummaging around for something to make for lunch today.

It was snowing all morning and by the time we took our recycling to the dump, we noticed there was about 4 inches of accumulation. Jeremy shoveled the drive when we got back home and I told him we ought to take advantage of the snow. So we went out for a fast hour of xcountry skiing. It was divine and a nice cardio workout.
conditions were fast and sweet
After skiing, we drove down to Boulder to check out some (more) gear before heading over to Andrew and Nicole’s place for dinner. Beth was there too and we got to watch some of her video footage from her field work in the Galapagos! The seal pups were really cute, but I honestly wanted to try one of the red crabbies… perhaps with some drawn butter? We had a lot of fun and the dinner was fabulous.
