Standing at the Trailhead of Winter

How about that Notre Dame/Louiseville game last night?! Five OT's! And Notre Dame walked away the victor. A really fun game to watch. Then there was the Purdue/Michigan State game, which saw my Boilers dig a hole they couldn't get themselves out of. Not fun to watch at all. No cycling for two weeks now. The first day I didn't ride the temp was 2 degrees with a -18 degree wind chill, the wind blowing furiously from the northwest. The next few days the temps remained bitterly cold, so I decided to wait out the weather, hoping for a warm up. Then last week came, and I was called upon for child pick-up duty in the afternoons. With my schedule, driving was the better option. Now, the rain has moved in. Cold, heavy rain, and wind. Not cycling has made me lazy. I haven't done anything remotely physical these last two weeks.

The fruit offered the sweetness to balance all the spices. Probably too many carbs with the fruit along with the cauliflower, but there wasn't any added sugar so I'm not going to stress over it. Definitely my kind of meal.
