January 25 Run/Walk: Meet at 61C Cafe if you can make your way through Snowzilla

Last week, our plan was to meet at The Speckled Egg in Southside Works.  The lights were on at 7 AM and the kind fledglings even opened up the restaurant so RGers could use the bathroom.  But am I right to say when we returned post run/walk it was to Commonplace Coffee next door and not the Speckled Egg?

I don’t know. Maybe I’m wrong.  Whichever establishment it was, we again had a long table with plenty of seats and lots of eats.

From the Department of “I Don’t Know How She Does It?”  we learned how Lainy managed to make lentil soup and matzoh ball soup and bread for her annual neighborhood soup party.  

First:  The New York Times “No Knead Bread” recipe.  Also its Chicken and Chickpea Tray Bake.

Endorsed with great enthusiasm:  

  • A dough whisk (manual).  Or a dough hook, a stand mixer attachment shaped like a hook that does everything a person otherwise does (kneads, stretches, folds, massages).  Williams-Sonoma has both.
  • New Hazlett Theater performance of BRIGID – A celebration of the Celtic Goddess & Patron Saint of Ireland - was terrific, especially Eileen Ivers and The Brigideens.  
  • John Oliver explains Medicare 
  • Best practice when your children become parents: learn to shut up (alcohol may be required). Then just enjoy those cuties.
  • Not endorsed:  Eat, Pray, Love.  Should be:  Work, Stay, Feed the Kids.
