The Sweet Escape

Today his mommy went out and purchased the ingredients for the chocolate pizzas, and we immediately went to work on the creations. The grandkid even managed to fit in a nap while the pizza dough was rising. Timing was everything, and since we were dealing with melting chocolate, I didn't take pictures of the whole process, but he had a wonderful time carefully placing each chip on the warm prepared crusts, plus one or two chips for himself.

How do you begin to eat this thing, anyway?

Mmmmmmmm....

FYI - That melamine plate was from my childhood.

What chocolate? Where?

Finger licking good!

Yes We Can

This afternoon, after work, I was just relaxing, watching The Food Network. The grand kid came in and wanted to see what I was watching. At that particular time, Giada De Laurentiis was on, making chocolate pizza. The grand kid's eyes became huge. "Mimi?" ... "Can we make that?" ... "We need to buy..." and then he listed EVERYTHING, exactly, that we needed to make the chocolate pizza. After that he was glued to The Barefoot Contessa and Paula Deen. I was thinking he was just looking for the desserts, but no. He was even intrigued with blue cheese going on to a hamburger. After a time, I turned off the TV so he could go play and get ready for dinner. A few hours later he asked me "Can we watch the cooking shows again?" I guess we'll be making chocolate pizza this weekend.

I had every intention of posting something yesterday but I never got around to it. A certain little boy needed some major hugs.

Last night my husband and I went out for dinner instead of our usual Thursday night date. While at dinner he started asking about fall run events. I was kind of surprised that he asked. He hasn't really run since the marathon. He was running because I did. I kept reminding him that he can run on his own, but it's usually me getting him off his butt to run. We might actually show up for a November walk/run 5k. It's one we've participated in before, and there's brunch served afterward. I had it in my head that I did not want to participate in any events, especially a 5k, unless I could run. Well, I'm still not back to running yet. I'm sure I could walk a 5k with no problem, but it would take me just shy of an hour to complete. My head is still wrapped around my pace per mile, beating my last 5k time, seeing that finish line, and running so hard to the end that I feel like throwing up. This would be the first time I would walk a 5k IF we decide to participate. This little time dilemma probably sounds stupid to most people, but my body is still healing and dealing with pain, while my mindset has not changed and is so ready to move on. I'm so impatient right now. I could always just purchase the brunch and not run or walk, and save a spot for my husband at the brunch afterward. We'll see.
