Off season
Yesterday I remembered what it is I do when I'm not biking and running all weekend. I COOK. For lunch I whipped up split-pea soup and onion-cheese biscuits. To make the biscuits, I used buttermilk pancake mix (the trans-fat-free stuff from Trader Joe's), followed the regular biscuit recipe, and threw in about five chopped green onions and a handful of shredded cheese. Yum!
I am a batter addict. I think I love to bake because I love to eat raw batter. Biscuits, pancakes, cookies, cakes, you name it, I love batter. Often I prefer it to the final baked product. Weird, I know.
Then for dinner I made an Indian feast using recipes I got earlier this week at a cooking class I took with friends. Chicken tikka masala, curried chickpeas (and green beans -- my addition), mango chutney, raita and brown rice. Wow. That was a lot of really good food.
Which is probably why today I was inspired to start counting Weight Watchers points again. Oy.

Don is the same way about brownie batter. He won't eat cooked brownies, just the batter. I on the otherhand prefer chocolate chip cookie dough, w/out the chips.
For some reason I never really developed the LOVE of batter (chocolate chip or brownie or anything else). Of course, it could all just come down to the sugar/salt divide, as so much does.
