I started my day with week 6 of Body Revolution, and it was sweaty and awesome. These DVDs are my workout of choice lately. They're only 30 minutes (but afterwards I feel like I worked out for an hour), so the workout and shower take an hour, total. It's so much faster and more efficient than going to the gym, and I've found that I can handle them in the morning before work. I haven't been following the schedule that comes with the DVD series because it's an extreme weight-loss program, and I'm not trying to lose weight. I like them as a total body workout and will usually do two a week.
When my husband got back from his workout, we cleaned up and headed out to run errands. PetSmart, Trader Joe's and lunch at a Neapolitan pizza place we happened to walk by.
Spinach, caramelized onion and egg for me, sausage, bacon and egg for hubby. We both have a special love for gratuitous eggs atop meals - it reminds us of Spain, where an egg goes on everything (but they don't eat them for breakfast. I never got used to that.)
My husband heroically agreed to babysit his cousins tonight, so I'm chilling here at the casa with the cat. I would have gone with him, really, but he won't be home until after 11 and I can't go to sleep that late when I have work the next day. For dinner, I decided to test out the new cast iron skillet I got on Black Friday:
(organic chicken with mustard, lemon juice, kalamata olives, a little honey and 21 spice salute)
(an unseasoned piece for the cat)
The verdict? The pan was heavy, hot, and the food stuck to it horribly, despite my having seasoned it three times using this technique. I scrubbed at it with a stiff brush for 10 minutes and rubbed it with kosher salt before giving up and using soap to wash it, which I know is a big cast iron no-no. I can't see any benefit to using it, besides the lack of potentially toxic chemicals that are rumored to exist in nonstick cookwear. I still need a new everyday pan, and I have my eye on this nonstick beauty:
I might clean the apartment tonight, if I get a burst of inspiration. I love how quickly I can clean this little apartment, but I hate how quickly this little apartment gets dirty. For some reason, our kitchen has two states: 1) I just cleaned it and 2) filthy, disgusting, horrible. There is absolutely no in between.
Have an awesome Saturday night. Mine looks like this:
