Day 15

Christmas ham!  That is what I made for the intern Christmas dinner tonight, which we hosted.  To be honest, I was not particularly happy about making a ham.  I don't really like ham and I don't have a lot of experience cooking ham, but ham is what I made.  And ham is what Nate and I will be eating from now until the new year and probably well into 2013.  I bought the smallest ham (8.5#) that Kroger had and of course it didn't fit in the crockpot.  So we did some ham-surgery and made a good half fit and probably half of the half is leftover.  Anybody have any good recipes that call for ham?

But the star of the night was this herb focaccia bread.  Apparently I have a reputation among the interns for baking good bread.  They specifically asked Nate if I would make some for the dinner.

And you call yourself Dutch (by marriage)? Use your leftover ham to make ham on bun or split pea soup with ham.

Ham on focaccia? I made two, so there's some leftover too.

Ham on focaccia sounds great. You could also use some of your leftover focaccia, ham, and farm-fresh eggs to make a delicious egg bake. And you could freeze some of the ham as well and serve it the next time you host the interns.

City champs

 Cross country season is officially over. Last night was city finals and Blackhawk girls finished first. We took 1st, 3rd, 5th, 8th and 10th place. Evelyn ran 14:56, so about 10 seconds off her PR.  She was 32nd overall out of 64 girls.  Her place counted for her team which she was happy about. The boys did good too and finished in second place overall.

Last weekend

 Last weekend was a busy one. I had the Fort4Fitness, Evelyn had a cross country invitational in Huntington and Jameson had two soccer games in Middlebury. All on Saturday! Friday I spent all afternoon at the F4F expo. The weather was lovely so that was nice. When it was busy, the time passed quickly. When it was slow, there were still enough people that I wasn’t totally bored.  Evelyn had a great run and PR’ed with at time of 14:40.  It was an early morning for them as she had to be at the meet by 8:40. But that was better for us since Jameson’s games were into the afternoon.  I had a decent half marathon. I ran 2:10:30 which is slower than I’d like but I’ve also been dealing with a nagging right knee problem. So I honestly was thankful I could run and run the race without much discomfort.  I was fast enough to get home, shower and eat lunch before we left for soccer. Jameson’s team won the first game 0-1 and tied the second 1-1. He scored both the goals. ...

Futsal

 It’s futsal season. Jameson had his first game tonight. It’s all just intra club fun meant to help the players develop and practice over the winter. Parents only have to help during games with subbing but we also got Evelyn to help run the scoreboard.
