When I first joined the Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) farm down the street from us in New Paltz, I was a little overwhelmed. First off, I had to Google about half of the items in the weekly distribution. Once I figured out what I was looking at, coming up with something to do with the bounty was a challenge.
I usually try to get my race reports posted within 24 hours but I've sort of been on Montauk time - so apologies for missing my deadline! But, good news: I won my 5th title at the Mighty Montauk Triathlon on Saturday, less than a week after Rev3 Quassy.
The Mix: Steel-cut oats with toasted pumpkin seeds, dried cherries, slivered almonds, and birch syrup
The Story: I recently ordered some Birch Syrup from Alaska after talking about it with a visiting friend who works as a fishing guide at Intricate Bay Lodge. It tastes like a cross between maple syrup and molasses and it flavored my morning oats without making them overly sweet.
It's been a few days and I feel like I have a bit more to report about Rev3 Quassy. By now everyone has posted their race reports and explained the ins out outs of why they did poorly or well. The various websites have published coverage about how all the "names" fared. But, there are some other stories out there worth telling.
