I signed up for a 28 mile hike in Big Bear in May, supporting Make A Wish.

So, knowing that, I did an osso buco, but not with veal (too much $/not the babies! ) to replenish protein. More like a stew as I threw in carrots, celery, onions, & turnips

Had whole wheat penne with Pecorino Romano on it

And the bone marrow was delish🍖😋

Oh, I did 12 miles and it hailed on me the last mile. I broke Fast at mile 5

Here are pix and the murals were done by a 20 yr pt photos.app.goo.gl/6n6Bs7tDy...

If anyone wants more info on that hike fundraising, plz msg me

Yea, another episode on Beat Bobby Flay whilst on the Elliptical that inspired me. They only had 45 mins, so they used a pressure cooker

Beef, it's what's for dinner LOL

that looks exactly like the fish dish I was talking about from Toledos …. Boy is that delicious. It takes a while to sit and remove the meat but that’s a good thing in a restaurant when you are socializing and enjoying those Dos Equis. 😁😁😁

a lot of people now also use one of those crock pots to cook heavy meats like roast. Put it on before you leave for work and it ready when you get back. Large cookers used to be a standard kitchen appliance back in the 40s -50s and later. You could cook an entire meal in it …. Like roast and use it to sterilize and seal your canning jars too. They had that little singing valve on top that squired steam now and then.

I did salt/pepper floured it and pan seared with butter and olive oil. Then did the veggies, deglazed the pan with a cup of red wine and put all the goodness into the crock pot with beef broth and let it go low for 8 hrs whilst I did my training hike

Cook on y'all

Nice looking fall off the bone veal being cooked like that. Yum. Wheat Penne is my wife's go to when not using asian noodles.

There's a lot of small american towns. Most have a uniqueness. Tehachapi seems to definitely fit that bill with a known history and apparently caring, nice community vibe people there. Mixed cultures living together.

That history of Avelino Martinez is fascinating bit you wouldn't think of if it wasn't documented. Ironic he has some Chinese heritage as do you and you ended up there.

So weird that back then Indian, Mexican, and Chinese genes got mixed together. Chinese mainly from Guangdong, like my Gparents, were working on the railroad, all the live long day in like 1850s courthousenews.com/tehachap...

I read about them and the Transcon railroads in this great book

Just love my lil town, been up here since 1998. They showed their love/generosity with the GoFundMe for that 14 yr old killed, raising 28k. And then the dozens of Christmas gifts that got distributed by the Knights of Columbus

I tell pts that it's like Mayberry at 4000ft, and it's a "Shit Howdy" kinda place

The closest I came to Guangdong was being in Hong Kong for a few days in the 70's.

About 8 years ago I was in Shenyang near the North Korean border for a week (Sunday thru Sunday). It was minus 40 F when I arrived at the airport and was driven in a factory work van to my hotel around 11:00 P.M. that first day I arrived. Long story. It was yet another printing press installed by me in the world. Seems unbelievable now.

Looks amazing. I miss red meat!

Made my grandma’s chocolate fudge tonight to send to school with my son tomorrow for teacher treats. I’ll sample one little piece once it’s set. Enjoyed the pictures from your adventure.

You’re always up to something!

Yea, I missed it too, but my excuse was protein for my old tired legs and the Beat Bobby Flay episode that I osso buco as the challenge.

Oh, Mahalo 🤙Mandi, QoLing is my second vocation now, it gives me pleasure as I hope it does for y'all💙

Got a concert to see this Sat, 23 yr old Samara Joy who just won two Grammys. Her velvet smooth Jazz sound harkens back to Ella, Sarah and Billie youtu.be/1Lh9nxOwMMo

I’m on couple other boards here for my liver disease, so I’ll hang around a bit. Probably will check in less as the weather improves here in the frigid Midwest. It’s 50 today, a bit of a heat wave so I’m going spend some time in the fresh air. Enjoy the show, she is AMAZING.

In 1998 my fastest marathon was at 9:21/mile 😂

And the Topper is that Lady who told me about can't do it cuz she already signed up for a 1/2 marathon in Solvang. I've raised over $15k for ZEROcancer.org, and now time to help the lil kiddos with devastating diseases. Now my walks will have a purpose💙

That sound very interesting to me, Randy. The hike, but also osobuco! 28 miles in one day would be too far for me now. But quite doable for an overnight 2-day. Did about 30 miles in two day backpack on the JMT last Summer. this year planning on the most attractive sections of the Tahoe Rim Trail.

BTW, I’m also making handmade fresh pasta these days, but still not yet perfected. And also dialing in the perfect pasta carbonara. And I make huge batches of (pork shoulder plus beef) chili and also meat-rich bolognese sauce and freeze several meals of each.

dockam in reply to MateoBeach

Yea, a lady told me about on Facebook to support Make A Wish for the kiddos, we have to raise $2500. So, it's not a race, and on the PCT in Big Bear this May. It should be gorgeous up there💙 We get meals, and hotels included too.

Oh, I did the Tahoe Marathon in 2008, so beautiful up there. Some crazy runners do the entire perimeter of Lake Tahoe, that's 72 miles!!!

Yummmm Handmade fresh pasta carbonara 😍

Oh, that's a great idea about the batches of chili with beans? I love Black beans in mine, and being from Hawaii, I want it on rice and not cornbread😂

Big Bear is one of my favorite spots, my son had a home at the base of the ski run for years.

Miss those pine scented hikes.

I've been there several times and there is that Christmas store in town, I went in with GF at the time and told the owner my PCa saga, then went back year later to say Hey and show that I ain't gone yet. So this May, I'll go again and surprise the owner yelp.com/biz/a-christmas-st...
