From scratch.

The stuff of life.

I made these lemon bars this weekend and they were amazing.

I went to IKEA today, and I hope that someone will remind me next time that whenever I go I want to stab out my eyes with one of their stylishly designed carving forks.  I went in looking for kitchen shelves.  They were out of stock.  I also spied a new set of dishes, but decided to wait for Ben’s approval since he’s expressed that he’d like to be included in some domestic matters; and I observed a few options for kitchen island/cart ideas that might work for additional baking surface space that I have found myself desperately needing.

I left, however, having purchased nothing.  The process of navigating the store was so frustrating (normally I go with the flow of their floor plan, but today I had objectives, people, ‘kay?) on a day when  I just wanted to be in and out.  No such luck.

My schedule this week and weekend sort of necessitate that I move up my running schedule by a day, so I need to squeeze in 30 minutes of running that I otherwise would do tomorrow.  I’ll probably also move Thursday up to Wednesday and somehow squeeze in an extra run day this week.

In running news, I did a series of hill intervals on Thursday, rested Friday and Saturday, and when I did my Sunday run (3 miles, it’s a rest week) I was not just measurably but palpably faster.  On the order of a whole minute per mile.  It was much cooler than it had been on previous recent runs, and also a shorter run, so these are also factors, but it is nice to see some results – theories in action, I love it!

That’s about all the news that’s fit to print today, so far.

    I may or may not have eaten three of those lemon bars in the last hour.

    So, on a tartness scale of 1 lemon to 10 lemons, how were they??

    YAY for being faster!! I didn’t do as much as I wanted to do this morning. Didn’t want to be late to work, even by a few minutes, so I did 25 minutes.
