I love having a Friday rest day because it means I can, and often do, move it around and use it earlier in the week. Such was the case yesterday, which means my speedwork will come tomorrow. Anyway, wasn’t yesterday great? It was nice weather, I got to come home for lunch with Mark and then after Lost we went for a walk for an hour and a half. I love walks.
This morning I had a gigantic bowl of plain yogurt with Hangry Heather’s Mix and ground flax.
I included my coffee in the picture today so that I could represent my Wildcats. Playing tonight at 7:20.
Local Flavor Shout Out: Zeppole

Picture from here.
Today is the lesser known March celebration known as St. Joseph’s Day. This is the day that we celebrated in my Italian family and it was marked with a delicious Zeppola. In Rhode Island, a Zeppola is either baked or fried dough that is like the outside of an éclair. The inside is filled with thick custard cream and is always topped with more cream, confectioner’s sugar and a maraschino cherry. They are huge! Now, I know these are not found everywhere. In New Jersey, for example, a Zeppole is simply an Italian donut, whereas a St. Joseph’s Day Cake is the name for the same thing filled with cream. Check out this short video for more on the preparation of Zeppole in Rhode Island.
