The Mix: Steel-cut oats, stone-ground cornmeal, and wild blueberries
The Story: Yesterday morning I picked two quarts of wild blueberries at an overgrown golf course that's now park of a state park. As I picked, I focused on a single goal: recreate the delicious Blueberry Polenta Muffins from Locanda Verde, a restaurant in Tribeca.
Yesterday I competed in the Philly Triathlon. While this was my fifth time competing at this race, I had two "firsts".
1) After 30+ years of competitive swimming I lost my goggles. They didn't just fill up with water, they came off, or were pulled off, my head and floated down the Schuykill River. I swam most of the way with no goggles. Not a huge deal but it may have contributed a tiny bit to some confusion that is the other "first".
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.
