Chef Rho

Every since I've been cooking,
I've been popping my apron.

It's rare that I'm posting more than once in the same day.  But I'm in the mood to cook, so I'm going to post about it.  I'm making crockpot lasagna... I got this recipe from an amazing person, Nada Dee.  Check out her blog under Stuff to See.

Anyways, I made it do what Rho do. (Don't judge my grammar.)  I can say that even though I'm a southern girl, I definitely don't come from a cooking family.  I mean we cooked, but it wasn't edible banging.  I mean, I'm alive aren't I?  So, recently (I've been doing quite a lot recently haven't I?) I've taken it upon myself to learn to cook become a whiz in the kitchen.  With the exception of my initial try at asparagus, my food has turned out wonderfully.  Reading is fundamental and cookbooks and my friends have been a great help with this adventure.

The Unexpected

Have you ever thought about someone you haven't seen in years, I mean yeeeeears, and you see them in the least expected place? Well, that happened to me this morning. Needless to say, I was truly excited. (I'm blogging as I walk. Multitasking at its best!)

I was getting my standard sugar-free caramel latte with soy from The Bucks and walking back to the office when I heard my name. I was wondering who would be calling "Rho!" out of the blue. Lo and behold, it was a classmate from my first round of college that I haven't seen in at least 7 years. I was actually wondering how he was a few weeks ago.

I'm a Glutton for Punishment (for a Good Cause)...

So you know (my fave phrase) I've been on a healthy for life kick right?  In case you didn't read my other posts, I am.  It's been a bit of an uphill struggle for me. I've been trying to exercise regularly, but my eating habits... not so hot.  I have a 5K next month, a 37 mile ride in May, a beginner's triathlon in June and a 10K in July.  I've been doing the absolute most by signing up for all these activities... heh heh. The. Most.  I've been thinking I need to get on the ball to train so I won't embarrass myself.

Delving into Art

Art has always been a passion of mine.  I think if I wasn't told I'd be a starving artist, I would have chosen art for a career. Or, I would've been a hairstylist... Both are art, but I think the artist fits my personality better.  I admire people that choose whatever career they want because it's their passion. For the past few years, I've tried to find a constructive way to occupy my time. Sometimes, when I discover (or rediscover) something new, I tend to go a bit overboard. This time wasn't an exception.

I'm Back for the Third Time...

I keep saying that I'm going to be consistent with blogging, but I have yet to figure out what I want to blog about. Since I've last blogged, I've changed a smidge. I've started running, biking, gone natural, attempted to knit, become a make-up fanatic... the list goes on and on and on.

So the question remains, "what do I blog about?" I don't want to be boring -> this blogger's fear. So for today, I'll discuss my new athletic exploits.
