I want my bike!

The weather this past week or so has been SO nice! It's making it much harder for me to stay motivated at work, and I can't wait until it really starts to actually look like Spring out there so I can go hike some trails. And to ride bikes again!

Although, who knows when that will happen. See, I took both our bikes in for a yearly tune-up. Mine was free because my bike was newly purchased last year, but we had to pay for John's. They told us John's might need a new part, but they would call us if it did. They never called us until they called to tell me "your bike is ready, you can pick it up" and they kept saying "bike" and "it", so I asked "do you mean BOTH my bikes are ready?" and they didn't even realize I had the second one. Turns out my bike was ready, John's was not, and they were waiting on a part they ordered. To which I asked why I was never called BEFORE the part was ordered. What a mess. Long story short (too late at this point, I'm afraid), my bike is just sitting there taking up room in their shop while we wait for a part that "may come this week, may come next week" (thanks for narrowing it down there, buddy) for John's bike. Sigh.

Of course, as soon as we get both bikes back, winter will return and we won't get a chance to use them.

Spicy Snack Mix
I made this snack mix for our big poker game a few months ago. It was... interesting.


Pantry meal
This is one of those "I don't feel like grocery shopping so I'm making a meal out of things I have in the pantry" meals


John starts a fire
There was a night in January where it was warm enough to sit outside by a fire in short-sleeve shirts. It was awesome!

Have you seen that T-Rex Hates Pushups image going around the web? This is Yoshi Hates Push-ups


029.366 - Killer Brownies
I made these Killer Brownies for poker, too. I made them again when Mom and Dad were visiting and sent some with them to E and R. Hopefully they made it there and Mom and Dad didn't eat them all... (btw, this is in the middle stage when the bottom half has been baked, then covered with caramel and choocolate chips. You can see the top half in the background, which gets put on and the whole thing is baked again, then covered with powdered sugar)
