ITU World Championship Series - Washington, DC - June 21, 2009

Wow - talk about some athletic women! All the Olympians turned out for a draft legal pro triathlon on the streets of DC and in the muddy waters of the Potomac (yuck!). It was fun to watch. With few spectators, I had front row viewing of the entire race and I'm inspired!

(The winner, Aussie Emma Moffatt.)

(Sarah Haskins, the top USA finisher, 4th place.)

Another Gluten Free Flop

I have been craving chocolate chip cookies lately, and the only good chocolate chip cookie recipe I once had called for this instant pancake mix that is not readily available and that I ran out of years ago. So I decided to experiment tonight. I used the GF Pantry French Bread Mix (I know what you're thinking, but really, you can substitute it for all purpose flour in nearly every recipe and it works!) and followed the directions on the bag of Nestle chocolate chips (like I used to do in my pre-GF days). Well, you can see the result.

They taste good, but are flat and crumbly. But no worries, I'll still eat them. Crumbled over ice cream if nothing else!
