I love Food. Cooking it. Eating it. Experiencing it. As a result, that's what this blog has evolved into: A journal of my gastronomical journeys abroad, as well as my culinary creativity at home. I hope you enjoy what I have to say, and I'd love to hear your comments... Cheers!

The Week(end) that Was...

Survived the onslaught of obligations of the week before. Everything turned out great: Bunco Night, family in town, baby shower, etc. etc... the kids were simple awesome. Art shows, interacting with their relatives. I am truly blessed.
I'll be posting 2 scrumptious (one of my favorite food words) recipes from the Baby Shower Brunch menu in due time, one from yours truly, the other from a friend, but it's too late, & I'm too tired (took the mom & bro-in-laws to the airport at 4:30am) to delve into that at present. Plus, I have to wake up for me swim in the early AM. Which leads me to...

My One Big Thing: I officially registered for the Top Gun Sprint Triathlon, slated for August 1st, and picked up my new bike today (a hybrid, not a legit race bike, but enough to get me through the 10 miles necessary for the race, and still have a sweet ride for tooling around the 'hood with the kids), so there's no turning back now. (Editor's Note: I am doing this against my closest family members' better judgments). Here's the thing: I need this challenge. It will keep me focused, driven (and sane) during what promises to be a wonderfully challenging next few months, what with Baby Boy Hollenberg due in T-10 days and my work month of June shaping up to be rife with travel.
I know when it's all said and done, this accomplishment will be among my proudest, and that's motivation enough for me (that and seeing my family's faces when I finish)...
Good night...

OH! How could I forget?!?! My wife, all 38 1/2 pregnant weeks of her (bless her heart) got BANGS. I capitalize for emphasis because apparently this is as earth-shaking an event as Jason the Bachelor dumping his girl in live TV (Ladies, are you with me?)... She looks really dynamite with her new 'do, and she handled Hair-gate '09 with a calm and grace that I admire... even if she had to go back twice to get them adjusted...
