Feelin’ the drag
We were not feeling a 100% when we woke up this morning.
The victory party at Benny’s last night left us with a weeeee bit of a hangover. Thus, we didn’t run this morning which made us even more irritable. Grrrr.
We perked up a little after a gallon cup coffee.
Work today was busy. We are trying to finish transferring our alternative investments back over to another custodian, which has been an effing nightmare! The Dodd-Frank Act has put pressure on every aspect of the financial world. To be honest, it’s some scary stuff people. Anyways, we won’t bore you with financial shenanigans. We did come to two realizations while we were at work today: 1.) we need to update our office wardrobe. Our Express pants are starting to look a little ragged. 2.) we think our boobs look funny in an oxford. We blame our short torso. After work we decided to get a speedy jog in at Wash Park before we headed home. The temp outside wasn’t dreadful and the park has ton of shade so we wasn’t to worried about overheating. We just needed to expel some toxins. We only ran 3 miles but it felt great. We could feel our little hangover seeping out our pores and once we were finished, we felt like a brand new person. Hi! We look like a red tamale. Once home, we did some chores. We swear we have been doing an obscene amount of laundry lately, and it’s all workout clothes. Hmmm…hot much? Besides looking forward to cooling off in our air conditioned apartment, we were excited about dinner tonight. We were watching an episode of Giada at Home (oh yeah, we tivo her show…full time stalker here) yesterday when we saw her make pasta with an arugula pesto. It looked like heaven so we had to try and recreate. The recipe was simple and a favorite part, we got to use the basil we have been growing! To make the pesto: blend arugula, basil, avocado, lemon, garlic, salt, and pepper in a food processor until smooth.
We also baked asparagus and then sauteed garlic shrimp to kick things up a notch.
Once the whole wheat linguine noodles are al dente, toss it with the arugula pesto and asparagus. Serve with shrimp on top. Ta-da! Linguine with Shrimp and Arugula Pesto We also had a mocktail alongside which is just carbonated water and fresh mint leaves. It was a nice change from liquor since tomorrow night we will be diving into the bubbly. Off to catch up on some reading. Hope you had a great hump day!
