I'm not sure why I have started another blog. I have a dressage blog on WordPress that I like although I haven't posted much there recently. I will return to it. But I think I'd like that one to stay Dressage and horse related with the odd visit to related topics. Have another blog here that I started in 2008. Only posted there once....really, I ought to take it down!
This one? I think I'd like to branch off into all the other interests I have. No defined material. Recipes, wine tried, political rants, design thoughts, books read, music that I love, stuff about my dogs, and of course the horses will be mentioned. But really technical dressage stuff will stay on my other blog.
Tonight we made pizza on the grill. Anyone gotten one of these great stones that turn your grill into an oven? I am wowed by how good the pizza comes out. I've been picking up dough from a local Italian specialty store, making my own sauce and experimenting. Tonight I did a rather traditional pepperoni pizza for my hubby. But my friend Kassie and I really enjoyed a Pizza Bianca that I infused with chopped garlic, basil, rosemary and thyme. The cheese were fresh mozzarella, goat cheese, parmegiano rggiano and locatelli. We topped it with baby arugula, baby portobellas, and dribbled white truffle oil over the top. A few twists of fresh black pepper and into the grill it went.
Ambrosia! Drank a great bottle of chianti , Chianti Classico Reserva Ducale by Ruffino, tossed a spring greens sald with a vinaigrette of balsamic and lemon infused olive oil....
I'm never gonna get thin at this rate!!!
Ran about 2 miles this morning and put an hour in at the gym!!! Good thing! Didn't get to ride today. Rafi is up in Ocala getting a standing MRI to see if we can get a diagnosis on a mysterious lameness. Jen, the assistant trainer at our barn, is showing Callista this weekend, so I'm letting her have the ride all week. Arie is in the midst of being sold, so I am divorcing myself from him...
Just finished Elizabeth Bard's fabulous "Lunch in Paris." Totally adored it and am shelving it with my cookbooks so I can try some of her recipes.
Just reread Deborah Harkess' "A Discovery of Witches." Super, super, SUPER! Can't wait for the sequel.
The photo at the top is the courtyard garden at out Florida farm....roses, lavender, and a French Fountain...makes me happy
