Adventures in the Kitchen and on the Road

| Bio: |
When I was a kid, I read about the Battle of Marathon wherein the vastly outnumbered Greek soldiers drove back the invading Persians. According to legend, Pheidippides then ran the 26 miles back to Athens to deliver the good news and then promptly dropped dead from exhaustion. After reading that, I thought, "I want to do that some day!" (run a marathon, not die at the end). A few decades later, after many stops and starts, I crossed the marathon off my list of things to do by running the 2005 NYC Marathon.
Running made me hungry all the time and my boyfriend liked to cook. So we started cooking together more often and now this journal is mostly talking about food. I try to keep the posted recipes indexed in this entry (clicking on the food banner above will also take you to my cookbook.)
I'm trying to cook 50 New Recipes this year.
And sadly, my boyfriend/fiance, Michael, died of brain cancer. So be prepared for sad posts too. You can get to know him at ![[info]](http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/community.gif) wrlw where I've been collecting comments and stories. We've even got some mp3 and video clips of him there too.
Oh and I chose FitFool as my name because I had been reading a lot of the Motley Fool and I liked how they used the word Fool to mean someone who thinks independently and makes their own financial decisions and I try to stay reasonably fit.
