Just Some Quick Stuff

[pshaw_raven]

 Maybe a more coherent post tomorrow.

Just rode around a little more - I'm getting the hang of corners and turns and did not hit anything today. Thumbs up. But the bike may need some adjustments and Fox is going to help walk me through it, so later on I know how to do my own repairs. Brakes are a little squishy too, so need to tighten them up.

Got more plants into the garden, so now I have a couple of Seminole pumpkins, some malobar spinach, assorted herbs, a serrano pepper, and a couple of napa cabbages. Some of them are still little guys, so I spritzed them with animal repellent - that garlicky sulphur stuff that smells terrible. If you keep it up, it prevents deer and rabbits from munching your plants because the stench drives them off.

Going to make more lime rice tomorrow and maybe tempeh tikka masala. 

After this week I have to figure out what I want to do running-wise. I normally like to have a goal to work towards, so even if we're not having organized races by fall maybe I can put on my own personal half marathon or something. But May is coming up and I don't really have a running schedule done.

Mmmm... tempeh tikka masala. I wish we could get tempeh here. Lucky if the store stocks tofu, which is does as more expats come. Occasionally it runs out and they don’t restock for a while. Tofu/tempeh are just not big west coast tropical Mexican town foods. I can’t remember the last time I saw seitan either. Tofu Tikka masala? Is that a thing?

I'd imagine tofu would be great that way - maybe take a really firm kind, press it, and then marinate in the tikka masala sauce before you cook it? I'm considering trying this myself.

That could be good next time the firm is in stock.
