Number 87- Take a spinning class-COMPLETED 10/23/2006

Yes, I have started getting up at 5:30am to go workout because I just don’t have the drive to do it after work. So I noticed there was a spinning class on Monday, Wednesday and Friday mornings at 6am…so today I got up the nerve to try it. Woah! I hope to be able to walk tommorrow! This class was intense…and ofcourse after the hour class one of the other guys comes over and tells me that this instructor is the hardest of the three that teach. Excellent! What a way to start off a Monday!

Birthday Dinner

Monday, October 23rd, 2006

So Evan’s birthday dinner consisted of:

Roast Beef with Horseradish Cream Sauce
Baked Potatos with cheese and real bacon bits
Ciabatta Bread
Salad (ok only I ate that)
Dessert-Fried Nutella Ravioli (that’s actually for tonight because we had ice cream cake at his parent’s house)

See the meat fest below, Evan was in carnivore heaven!

The roast beef was a first for me and a bit of a trial and error. I salt and peppered the roast (a rump roast) then laid three bacon strips over the top. Placed it on a roasting rack and roast it at 375 degrees for about an hour and a half. The temperature is suppose to register 135 degrees for rare meat. Well, I was a little impatient and Evan was getting hungry so I pulled it out a little early and put a foil tent over it to let it finish cooking, hence the rather rare beef. I would probably cook it a bit longer next time, but I figured we would be reheating it for sandwiches and such so it should be fine. Evan didn’t seem to mind though, and neither did the dogs who enjoyed a birthday treat as well.
