In Like a Lion

I had a busy week.

On Tuesday it was paintball biathlon. We, luckily, given our winter (another 27 inches of snow this week), had a beautiful day.

While I was shooting targets, The Mother was ‘jogging’ home to make dinner. She seems to stop and take a lot of pictures when she is supposed to be exercising.

On Saturday, Jameson needed a ride to the mountain. It was pretty awesome to have a bud to ride to and from practice with.

I got my award for last week’s race before the start of training. Disappointingly, there were no gift certificates to Mountain Burger handed out with the medals like there were other times. I love Mountain Burger.

I did get a cool pin, though.

Jameson and I are like two peas in a pod. Here we are with our noses buried in books on the ride home.

On Sunday, it was snowing again. We went cross country skiing at Meissner and went to check out the snow dragon.

Here I am enjoying the Meissner dragon 7 years ago.

This week we had Korean Tofu Rice Bowls, made with crispy gochujang tofu, steamed rice, spicy cucumber salad, and kimchi. Topped, of course, with a fried egg.

While I had a sad lunch of ramen noodles at the mountain on Saturday, The Bigs had wraps with brie, spinach, apples, and skirt steak.

This week I had pickled onions The Mother bought at the store. They were OK, definitely not as good as The Nan’s, so I decided to make my own – using my Complete Cookbook for Young Scientists. Red onions go from being deep purple before pickling to bright pink after pickling due to an interaction between a molecule in the onion and the vinegar.
