365: Day 61

3/2/14: This afternoon we made our weekly trek to lab to drop off my work clothes and food for the coming week. This weekly ritual helps ensure healthy eating during busy workdays. Typical "groceries" include yogurt, fruit, crackers, carrots, hummus, cheese, almonds, granola or cereal, and lunches for the week (this week is Lentil and Spinach Masala which I'll eat in Joseph's Flax, Oat Bran & Whole Wheat Pita Bread). This trip is also a necessity because I power walk 5 (total) miles every day as a part of my commute, which requires wearing exercise clothes and changing when I get to work!

Silas worked on a self-portrait on the (15 minute) drive over. He's wearing "sunglasses" in this one.


They know the drill and waited patiently under the awning while I got everything out of the Pilot.


My friend and colleague Sandy was working today so we stopped by to say hi on our way out. She's got an awesome view - S&Z agreed!

Silas' Blog

Well it's been a busy 3 years since I last posted! Stay tuned as we may have more posts coming now that it looks like I have a new contributor... Silas recently read a book called "Starting Your Own Blog", and now he is bound and determined for us to let him start his own blog!

One of the changes that came along with a new commute and work schedule is that I have started making dinner for the kids every night, instead of just Friday-Sunday (Julia, our wonderful long-time nanny, historically fed them dinner Monday-Thursday). Derek and I still have opposite work schedules, which means that I have the kids without him 5-6 nights/week. In order to make healthy meals AND pack lunches while flying solo, at a minimum I need to have a well-stocked fridge and basic menu plan for the week. Even better is when I can get some cooking and/or food prep done on Sunday. Before I go to the gym on Sunday mornings I usually peruse some recipes in search of culinary inspiration. Today I came across a recipe that caught my eye on Budget Bytes . I was planning on hitting Trader Joe's after the gym, so I picked up the frozen roasted corn that is the cornerstone of this recipe. The first part of my foo...

Silas, 7/26/17

The context for this post is that S&Z started two weeks of daily swimming lessons in the outdoor town pool on Monday. The beginning of this week also happened to start with two of the coldest days of the summer!
