This and That: Lifestyle changes
http://lynchrs.blogspot.com/2012/10/lifestyle-changes.html
Thursday, October 11, 2012. My bad habits have officially caught up with me and unless I change, I am looking at type II diabetes and being put on medication, etc. I did see my primary care doctor the week after the biometric screening. They ran a test on my a1c. For interested parties, a comparison of my bloodwork numbers from the test done at work and the work run at whatever lab, along with what they consider to be normal/acceptable, etc.:. So, at this point, I've completed my first full week of Phase...

This and That: Last Night's Lesson
http://lynchrs.blogspot.com/2011/06/last-nights-lesson.html
Friday, June 3, 2011. Lately I seem to be enjoying playing the how empty can I get my gas tank game. A couple of times in the Budget truck on the way out here and then last night in my car. Prior to coming to NJ I had no clue that I am not allowed to pump my own gas here. In fact, according to Wikipedia. All stations in New Jersey. Offer only full service and mini service; attendants. In order to avoid this late night stress in the future, I'm going to be more cognizant of how much gas I have remaining i...

Tuesday, June 14, 2011. Homemade Strawberry Ice Cream. Now that the whirlwind of packing, moving, working, unpacking, cleaning, etc. is settling down, I'm finally looking to start exploring and finding sights in the current hometown. Unfortunately, this weekend was not all that great weather wise - high likelihood of awesome thunderstorms all weekend. Actually, Thursday through Sunday - and one of Thursday evenings storms actually brought hail with it. Since A - the greatest BFF ever! 2 cups half and half.

This and That: August 2010
http://lynchrs.blogspot.com/2010_08_01_archive.html
Wednesday, August 18, 2010. I apologize that it's been a while since I posted an update, but things were more than a little busy. Dad is doing better. As of late last week, a chest x-ray shows no signs of pneumonia which led to him being transferred from the respiratory hall to the rehab hall yesterday - something that he is quite happy about. His is continuing to get stronger and make progress in physical therapy. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile. There was an error in this gadget.

This and That: Sausage and Quinoa with Italian Herbs
http://lynchrs.blogspot.com/2012/10/sausage-and-quinoa-with-italian-herbs.html
Tuesday, October 23, 2012. Sausage and Quinoa with Italian Herbs. I was in a wanting pasta mood yesterday. But in trying to be good diet wise, I decided that wasn't the greatest idea. I have moved onto Phase 2 of the South Beach Diet which does reintroduce many things back into my diet - HELLO FRUIT! Basically, Phase 2 is all about moderation. I'm still working on making my way through my chunky lentil soup since I ended up with 8 portions of that, so I had some of that for lunch today. Once the sausage ...

This and That: December 2010
http://lynchrs.blogspot.com/2010_12_01_archive.html
Friday, December 24, 2010. Thanks to the discovery of a jar of tomato sauce in the pantry, I officially had all of the necessary ingredients for some Cincinatti Chili. :) I used rice as an accompaniment instead of the those listed here. Also, I used some of the stock that I made from my Thanksgiving Turkey, as well as some diced up Thanksgiving turkey instead of the ground beef. My go-to recipe for Cincinnati Chili is courtesy of America's Test Kitchen:. 2 teaspoons table salt (or more to taste). Rinse a...

This and That: Memorial Day Cook-In
http://lynchrs.blogspot.com/2011/05/memorial-day-cook-in.html
Tuesday, May 31, 2011. Not that I have a grill at home, but being back in an apartment means no grilling, and thus no cook-outs, so K and I had a Memorial Day cook-in. I was able to take some time to scope out a Whole Foods this weekend - which I was very excited to do seeing as the closest grocery store to the apartments is a Super Wal-Mart, and the grocery store snob in me doesn't consider that to be a real grocery store. I paired my go-to recipe for black bean burgers. View my complete profile.
