Good morning folks! I hope everyone enjoyed their Friday night and will continue to have a stupendous Saturday :)
After taking 20,000+ steps on Thursday, I barely managed 2,000 yesterday! I exercised my brain much more than my body -- spending almost all day inside (in my little basement kitchen) studying and making treats for my bake sale today. I really enjoy cooking and baking but man it takes a lot of time when you're not very good at it! Nevertheless, I have a bunch of product to show for my work; sugar, chocolate chip, and oatmeal raisin cookies, plus the crowd favorite graham cracker blondies (which were actually the easiest to make). If I manage to sell all my goodies today I will be shocked.
As excited as I am to share these desserts, I'm especially pumped to talk more about 4K and cycling in general with people who know a lot more than me. My social battery might need recharging after today because before the fundraiser/gear-swap, I'll be chatting with Maryland Day attendees about the ocean and the dangers of deep sea mining. Gonna be an awesome day!
p.s. I listened to another podcast episode with Zach Bush while baking and he reminded me of the importance of not only eating well, but eating food that's grown well. We should really be cognizant of where we purchase our food (if we can) to reduce our consumption of pesticides and bioengineered ingredients. The Environmental Working Group puts out the "Dirty Dozen" every year to share with consumers the most pesticide-contaminated foods (i.e., the foods you don't want to eat unless organically grown). This years list looks like this:
- Strawberries
- Spinach
- Kale, Collard & Mustard greens
- Peaches
- Pears
- Nectarines
- Apples
- Grapes
- Bell and hot peppers
- Cherries
- Blueberries
- Green Beans
If you saw the typo before I fixed it, no you didn't
