Miss Rhonda’s Fat Girl Fries

-

 


If you ever find yourself in Woodland Park, CO, make your way to the Historic Ute Inn for some of Miss Rhonda’s fat girl fries. Add two fried eggs for extra protein. I got the pulled pork platter thinking it would be more filling, but my friends actually got more pulled pork on this plate than I did!

This is an old photo, but I wanted/needed to record these here for my recipes. I have yet to re-create these for myself on the east coast, but I’m thinking about trying my hand at them (after I can use two arms) to thank my boyfriend for taking such amazing care of me after shoulder surgery.

Cook and combine:

Fries
Pulled Pork
Coleslaw
Baked Beans
BBQ Sauce
Ranch Dressing?
Two Fried Eggs

Race Recap: Four Courts Four Miler

-
Image
Yesterday I ran my third race of the year at Pacers' Four Courts Four Miler in Arlington, VA. Race Prep I've slowly been adding a few more speed workouts, mostly just shorter intervals (I did my first 2x1600m this week), and bumping my long run up to 12 miles each weekend. For the most part, I'm eating healthier and sleeping in until 6:00AM. The night before, I ran 2 miles, picked up my race packet, climbed one route at the gym (what can I say? I didn't feel very energetic), and went to Shooter McGee's in Alexandria for a not-so-healthy dinner. I had 3/4ths of a beer (Kona Longboard) and a lobster crab cake sandwich with fries on the side (one of the few non-red meat items on the menu...no red meat on Fridays during Lent). After falling asleep at the dinner table, my boy finally agreed to go home. I was in bed by 11:30PM. Pre-Race The weather was perfect for racing--low 50's, slightly cloudy! The race didn't begin until 9AM, so I was able to sleep

Shoulder Surgery Recovery: Wrapping Up Week 5

Physio Update: Yesterday, I had my third physical therapy session . I’m happy with my progress so far—increasing my range of motion slowly with the pulley and table slides! Dr. Dan added some dowel exercises (I use an old shower curtain rod at home). The exercise looks like a bench press, but my non-op arm is doing all the lifting and the op-shoulder is along for the ride. At home, I like to do a set of 20 pulley pull-ups, 20 pulley punches, 10 floor dowel bench presses, 20 table slides, and 20 scapula squeezes followed by a set of 30 body weight squats and 10 lunges (front + back, each side). I try to do three full sets at breakfast, lunch, and dinner, with one set here and there throughout the day. Here is an image of my shoulder flexion progress from day one of physical therapy to now (14 days of progress): Exercise Update: I think the lunges, squats, and banded side steps help with blood flow and getting my heart rate up/allowing me better range of motion. I think I overdid the bik

Lab Lessons: Mils, Not Millimeters

-
This post is a little embarrassing, but I think it's a funny learning lesson...in hindsight. Once upon a time, I was given a task. At the end of this task I had to give a measurement in "mils." Me, having never worked in a lab or with science or engineering in the real world (college was a few years ago, and I was more focused on the military than my studies), thought perhaps this meant "millimeters." The man who asked me this is a very smart man. Sometimes I felt like he asked questions he knew the answers to in order to test me. He can do math in his head like a genius, so when he asked me to convert this millimeters into mils, I was baffled. What the %#*@ are mils?! An hour or so ago, I had sat down with my measurements, converting my inches to meters to millimeters. What where mils?! I told him I would figure out the "mils" and get back to him. It makes me nervous when he stares me down while I'm trying to do math in my head. This conver
