strawberry season.

this morning i had the first omlet i have had in a very long time. it was quite good, it was with peppers and cheese. after that i went to the grocery store and got bread and some other things. then it was biking time. just a nice easy hour with some sprints. there is this one place on my hour long loop that is a big strawberry field, i first noticed last week that it smelled like strawberries. and then yesterday the price of 500 grams of stawberries went from 2.50 to .99. so i had a crate yesterday and almost a half so far today. good stuff. but the field smells good...
after the bike i made some lunch. a very successful spanish rice. quite good.

for lack of other pictures at the moment.
just a few minutes ago i gave up on studying. i have no idea why, but i just cannot concentrate. luckily the test wont be too hard. it is pretty easy material. but it is always nice when you dont even have to think during a test.

tonight is the US vs. Italy game. i havent decide if i am going to watch it, because of tomorrows race. but i am happy. a 6:30 wake up, not a 4:00. wahoo!

the other day some questions were asked:
most people here seem to use energy gel during races. and coke and water is very popular for near the end.
also asked was my opinion on the TdF. i really dont know how it will turn out this year. i think it will be a good race. Basso clean up in italy, but that was a month ago. maybe he is recovered maybe not. Ullrich is looking pretty good now too. and of course a bunch of others like landis and leipheimer have been doing well this season.
so again i think it will be a close race. hopefully. more fun to watch then!

Mom

From Dad...
One cup of strawberries
One cup plus, of sugar
One half green apple (peeled and diced)
Boil and stir constantly for 5 minutes.
This will make a camp style strawberry jam.
