I guess I could have had those red onions at dinner last night after all.\u00a0 Just after I finished publishing my entry, Scott informed me that he had to work late.\u00a0 Which is understandable, two weeks off of work there is bound to be some stuff piled up that needs attending.\u00a0 I changed into jammies and went to bed. I read for a bit and was asleep by 10pm. It was pretty fantastic and the first time I had been to bed that early in ages.<\/p>\n<p>Today I had to bust out the YakTrax again for my morning run.\u00a0 The current temp was 17degrees with winds at a lovely 10mph.\u00a0 Lovely is said with as much sarcasm as possible.\u00a0 I have a feeling this is going to be a short run week with these stinking temps I&#8217;m dealing with.\u00a0 I was able to crank out 5 miles though.<\/p>\n<p>The bonus of 17degrees over 4 degrees is that my hands did alright and there was no snot dangling from my nose.\u00a0 The wind was brutal though but it was not constant, thank the lord or else I would have had some serious troubles.\u00a0 I came home at 5 miles just happy with the fact that I was able to get out and actually run.\u00a0 I promise I&#8217;m not hardcore, just stubborn.\u00a0 And possibly seriously determined.\u00a0 I live in an environment that gets cold so I have to adapt and deal with it, hence running in winter.<\/p>\n<p>I did get my yogurt mess this morning and it was yumtastic.\u00a0 Rocky got his walk and yes he was suited up.\u00a0 If there wasn&#8217;t snow I wouldn&#8217;t use the booties, but when there&#8217;s snow he has to have them for walks.\u00a0 Otherwise his piggies get sore and cold causing him to lift them off the ground.<\/p>\n<p><a

and possibly switching over to sea salt as my go-to salt and only using kosher for brining stuff.\u00a0 It holds a lot of salt, is pretty, and the lid helps keep stuff from splattering into the salt

It was a random gift and not necessarily for Christmas although that&#8217;s when I got it.\u00a0 I currently have a love-hate relationship with this thing.\u00a0 It also was totally designed by a man, I can sense that deep in my bones.<\/p>\n<p>Love:\u00a0 I love it because I can use straight olive oil and spray it on to whatever floats my boat.\u00a0 I love that it is glass and all the plastic that is used is BPA free.\u00a0 The glass components can also go in the dishwasher which is nice.<\/p>\n<p>Hate: In order for it to work, I have to pump that sucker like it&#8217;s our 6th date every single time I want to use it.\u00a0 Not just a few pumps, but I have to pump it like I&#8217;m trying to pull something from the depths of a well.\u00a0 It also will not hold air and be at the ready.\u00a0 There is no pre-pumping allowed.
