Last week was all about recovery, and this week is all about puttin in some base. It snowed all last night and Justin just informed me it is to be weather weary up until Saturday, which is the day we are leaving for Prague. I will spend the week in the gym, and on the trainer until we leave Saturday. Oh, and Justin paid for our trip to Paris in April, so I am soooo excited about that!!!
I have never been to Prague, so I am looking forward to spending the weekend there. It will be kinda interesting going with a toddler, a teenager and a 7 year old. But we always manage to have the best time, even with a few meltdowns thrown in the mix. Just one big happy family!! I am looking forward to taking lots of pictures and I will of course be posting many of them for your viewing pleasure.
Gavin had his birthday on the 8th at MegaPlay, a fun indoor gym type place for kids, and anyway, they made his nametag and it said, Garden, not Gavin and I am just laughing at how they came up with "Garden",?
He thought it was funny...
He decided he wanted a "Bolt" birthday cake, it was easy to make
Gavin pullin' his old man and little sis, he is one tough little dude...
If you are looking for something to clear your head, and get the blood and circulation going, here is my recipe for Green Chile Stew. I always make this when someone is sick too, it always clears up the sinuses and gets a fever to break. I miss New Mexico (hatch) green chiles, so if you can get them for this, it is VITAL for this recipe. Otherwise, it wont be as good, but it will still be a'ight..
Ingredients:
1 whole Chicken (cleaned and minus insides)
As many green chiles as you can put in, I like at least 5 long ones, cut up and diced, if using cans, you could use 2-3 cans
5-6 small red and purple potatoes-diced
2-3 juicy red and yellow tomatoes-diced
1 onion-diced
1 clove garlic-diced
1 bunch Cilantro-cut up minus stems
1 Lime
2 c. water
Salt and Pepper to taste
Tortillas for dipping
Directions:
First, boil Chicken until fully cooked and save the stock.
After chicken has cooled, take chicken meat off the chicken, the breast meat is best in the stew and shred it as much as you can. Use as much as you want, and whatever is left over, use for sandwhiches or whatever you fancy. Now, in a seperate pot for your stew, add 1/2 of your chicken stock from boiling, if you can, strain it over a filter, but it is okay if you dont, just pour it in, then add 2 c. water to that. Next, add your chicken, diced green chile, tomatoes, onion and garlic and cilantro. Simmer for at least 5 hours, then add your potatoes, a little salt and pepper to taste, and a shot of lime, cook for another 30 minutes, and wha-la, you have yourself some Green Chile Stew. Make sure you heat up those flour tortillas, they are the best dipped in the stew while it's piping hot. Enjoy!
Now, I must go ride...
