Today is Wednesday?!?! It's official. I have broken the wall! On two separate non-consecutive days I have run 10-minute miles, at least 2 at a time. (Two days ago I ran 2.6 miles in 26ish minutes, today I ran 3.31 miles in 33.33 minutes!) Woo! My goal of running a 30-minute 5k by March seems very close indeed! I am also working on pull ups now. They are getting easier every day, but I am still doing "assisted" - read: I jump into the pull - pulls for now. That is okay. They are hard, but fun. This weekend, I'm having a housewarming party. It'll be Mexican themed. Any advice about Mexican party food, especially slow cooker party food (I have two, so share away! Also I'm worried any kind of soup is just not party-friendly, but I really like that the slow cooker can keep the food warm without me paying any attention to it) would be greatly appreciated and welcomed! I plan on making sangria out of box wine. (I AM POOR RIGHT NOW.)
My friends love walking tacos. Pretty easy party food since you get to skip plates. Here's a picture of a similar setup to what I do: I'm a vegetarian so I do one pot veggie meat or beans and one pot meat meat. Then pico, guac, lettuce, ect. Our group has a mix of allergies and diets so a DIY meal is good because people can work around their restrictions.
It's Mexican themed, but not Mexican, but cheap: Huevos Diablos If you make them, add Cholula to the yolk mash, it's much better.
while you're right that's it's probably not souper (huehuehue) party friendly, you can probably put it in cups for people to sip. that would make them 1 handed instead of 2 at least and reduce waste vis-a-vis spoons. also i'm sorry i can't come any more. got a bunch of pre-reading to do for classes next week :(
No I made sure to RSVP because it would put it in my calendar. I'm super bummed
Aw I'm sorry you have to miss. I won't even keep friendiliy-guilting you. Maybe when the weather gets warmer I can traipse on down to DC again, we can try to time it so it hits a lull point in your classes or something. I believe I promised wasoxygen I would lend him my copy of Predictable Irrationality if he wanted it.
I blew my lunch hour, and my lunch budget, today at the World Bank bookstore. It's a dangerous place, half the stock is provocative remaindered titles selling at $5-7. If any of these look good, let me know and I'll make sure they are read and ready for exchange at the next meetup.
