Wow!! Awesome pace!!

Hey Britta, Thanks. I'm just trying to work my pace up to the likes of you and Kelli. :-)

Very interesting Jon!!

Yes, those were some sweet outfits! You thinking of getting some?

Teena, you know it, maybe run a race in one of those SWEEEEEEEET outfits.

I would only do it if I could have a HUGE fro. Then I would be super stylin'!

Jon, whatever! That is fast---I can not do that! You are a sprinter by nature I think. I am more of the long distance runner---the longer the better.

I would pay to see you run in one of those outfits!

Kelli, I would do it if I could talk others into it.

Oh, I think there is a 5k in Orem at the end of Dec that you have to wear a "TuTu" (not sure I spelled that right.) We should all run that. FUN!

I am sure I would look great in a tutu! I am in!! Nothing would beat seeing all of you men in one.

I really will get you that recipe---promise! I read all day yesterday and never returned to the computer! But, i will be back this afternoon to give it to you---I have to get to the park right now, I am late!

I think it would be fantastic to get everyone to run in tutu's. I can just see the sprint at the end. FUNNY! Would be best if the weather is warm enough that everyone would be required to run with just running shorts under the tutu, no pants. FUNNY FUNNY FUNNY!!!!! I can just see my chicken legs under a tutu.

Oh Kelli, no stress on the recipe. I knew you would be in that book until you finished it, when I read you were starting it I knew you would bury your nose in it until it was done. That book/series does that to people. It went through my house. Even my teenage boys read it. Our copies went through my oldest boys soccer team.

I am in for the Tutu run!

So Kelly does this mean you like the Twilight series?

I am going to the midnight showing tomorrow. I am really excited. I have never been to a midnight showing.

I do feel a little emabarassed to be a part of all the crazy women but nonetheless I am so excited to see the movie.

Yes, I liked it, and I am embarrassed to admit it. I can not believe BOYS read it. WOW. Scott would rather die than read ANYTHING I read.

The recipe is coming...I have to go to the bank real fast first!!!

Now now girls. I hope we don't get to much "Edward" talk going here. Dr T talk is enough. Just imagine them in Tutu's! :-)

I will find info on the TuTu run. This could be fun!

Kelli, don't get me wrong, I DID NOT read it. I started listening to it while I ran, but I would find that like with music I will start thinking about something and 20 minutes later I come back to reality. So I gave up trying to listen to it.

But the boys on the soccer team did. There were about 6 or 7 that did. Now, they contacted my son in private and it was almost a hush hush thing.

Okay, back from the bank. And I bought a bunch of Diet Coke, too. I need it.

Here ya go:

The BEST AWARD Winningest Chili

3-4 cans white beans (10 oz, drained)

2 onions

48 oz chicken broth

--boil and simmer 1.5 hours then add:

4 cups cooked and cubed chicken

1 can (7 oz) chopped green chiles

6-8 cloves minced garlic

3 tablespoons oregano

4 tsp cumin

1 1/2 tsp cayanne pepper

--boil and simmer 1 hour, remove from heat and add:

1 cup sour cream

3 cups shredded monterey jack cheese

DRESSING:

1/4 cup vinegar

1/2 cup sugar

juice from a lemon

1 tsp onion powder

1 tsp paprika

2 tsp celery seed

1 tsp salt

1/3 cup vegetable oil

chopped tomatoes (canned or fresh)

cilantro or parsley

---refrigerate 1 hour or more

When you serve the chili, you just put like 1/4 of a cup or so of the dressing in before. It is so good! If you have leftovers, you store the chili and the dressing separately, do not mix them!

ENJOY!!!!!!

Okay, now that I typed that all up, I am going to have to post in on my blog tomorrow. BUT you got it first!

THANK YOU Kelli, I feel so honored that you gave the chili recipe first. Thank you for taking the time.

You are so welcome!

Oh, and that means you have to MAKE it!

I will make it. Probably not this weekend, although thats when I would like to. Moving this weekend so, maybe in a week or two. Thanks again.

Hey, Jon, you need to give us all the tutu race info! I want to run it to see you in one! Maybe I could Harold to do it! It would be the best!

Hey Leslie, I hope I can find a nice tutu to run in. :-) I would love to see Harold run it too. Would be a hoot to see everyone having a great time! FUN. I think I have the race directors info, I'll be letting everyone know soon I hope.
