Patellar Tendonitis Cherry Pie

That's right. Sounds delicious, eh?

I overdid the workout yesterday and am completely paying for it. I have an ice packet strapped to the knee and am looking fabulous today.

Made a cherry pie last night from Morello (sour) cherries. I took the juice and sweetened and thickened it. I didn't add much juice to the pie, but plan on using the "sauce" for something delicious and decadent later.

Sauce:
cornstarch (like 3 T. or so)
water
3/4 c. sugar
juice from jarred morello cherries
lemon juice
almond extract

In a heating double-pan boiler, dissolved the cornstarch in the water. Added everything except extract. Whisked until thickened. Cooled and added extract. (Added the sauce to the strained cherries while preparing the crust.)

Pie crust:
The usual on the crust, except split the Crisco to half butter, half Crisco

Added some cinnamon to the top of the cherries, once they were added to the pie. Expect the pie to be tart due to most of the sugar staying in the juice and not the cherries. We shall see...

I would consider adding some kind of chocholate to this to make it a chocolate cherry pie, but not being too adventurous due to soreness of the knee.

Are you pregnant?

No, just fat, now get the hell out of my way. WTF? C'mon people. You suck asking that question. Why not ask me if I'd like a fork in my eye? I'd prefer to answer yes to that. Get the hint?

Took advantage of the new day despite the lingering pissed-offedness. Also, for some reason, woke up at 3:00AM, wide awake. Awesome.

Today's mile ran in: 11:03
Ah well, ya gotta start somewhere. And that's better than a week ago. :)

Did 1 mile, walked a lap then
2 laps
15 pushups
20 crunches
15 UDAT
10 (*2) front lunges
Repeat above *3.

2 laps
15 bicep curls
15 side raises
15 tricep extensions side
15 tricep extensions overhead
Repeat above *2.

2 laps
15 shoulder lifts
15 side raises
20 quick abs
Repeat above *2.

Stretched.

I'm wondering if I should start counting the laps at the beginning and do more before the bootcampy part. Ah well, I'll figure it out.
