Summer Fun Meet 2012

Maisie yesterday morning modeling her new competition leotard.

At the gym in her new warm-ups.

 

Yesterday Maisie and her teammates competed in their first meet of the season.  Overall Maisie did well but her nemesis the beam took its toll when she bobbled on her leap and touched the beam with her hand.  Maisie still made her first of two qualifying scores for state meet and I know that with each upcoming meet she’ll do better and better…fingers crossed  ;-)

Obligatory hands-in-the-air pictures:

Today has been a rainy, dreary day I was craving some comfort food but I wasn’t in the mood to actually cook so a look in the freezer (man do I love having a big freezer filled with lots of great meals) and I pulled out a package of Hearty Beef Curry which perfectly fit the bill for what I was craving.  I quickly made up a batch of Cauli-Rice, reheated the Hearty Beef Curry and because I had some in the house, I topped it with some chunks of fresh avocado.  Totally delicious!  Click on the links or the picture to be taken to Cook Lisa Cook and the recipe.
