riding just for fun because it’s summer
double measured today using my standard cyclocomputer and also the runtastic app because i wanted to see what my change in elevation was. turns out, it gives me *lots* of information. keep in mind the app records everything whereas the cyclocomputer is programmed to only record when the front wheel turns. also, my estimated 193 wheel circumference setting isn’t that far off from what GPS satellites say is my distance.

diy kimchi
m bought me mother in law’s kimchi diy kimchi kit last weekend and i am making it now.
don’t underestimate the fish sauce – the whole house smells.
the good housewife
i am on a roll today. i already prepped the chicken chile verde for dinner. i made coconut pudding. i toasted unsweetened coconut and hand-slivered almonds. i made hibiscus iced tea and hibiscus simple syrup. i am moving on to coconut chai. i have all this silk coconut milk that i must use.
m asked me to start using stuff from the pantry. i call using the unsweetened coconut we bought in 2012 a good use for sure. recipes are in the comments.
now all i have to do is go to the grocery store for mango and vanilla wafers.
