italiano traditional...o

JAKE- Here is what i made for dinner. A tomato sauce from scratch consisting of tomatoes, garlic, farmers market basil, salt, pepper, olive oil and love. Then i made up some penne pasta, plus we had an italian sausage from the farmers market that may have well been cut from a pig that was actually alive in the morning, im not sure. it was a good meal with a good wife. Speaking of she, might i say that chelsea has been doing really well out here in South Royalton. Those of you that know her may know what i mean. sure, at night she can have some tough anxious moments, but other than that she has been so stinking fun. I swear she is getting funnier and funnier every day. her wit and humor has been so right on the money. Its not that she has changed, but its like there is more of her than before; more flavor to enjoy. Yeah, she is more full of that chelsea flavor that we all love... its like she has gone organic. No preservatives or additives, just pure wife. Hey if im not going to laud her over the pulpit at church at least i can do it in this blog. Did you know that 80/20 ground beef is as cheap as 1.99 a pound out here? that is a special deal. i think maybe we should load up and have burgers every night for goodness sake. oh boy, i muust run up a large hill tomorrow; the last two times i have done it i have felt like i was going to throw up. Run.Run. We had dinner at our landlords house(barn) last night and though i wasnt much part of the conversation, i think i overheard people saying that there are raccoons out here as big as black bears. Is that possible? If thats true than i guess i should be more scared of a rodent attacking me than a carnivorous beast. i thought that sort of thing was only possible in the fire-swamp. alright i will stop this blog... as you wish.

Organic Chelsea -- there's a thought . . . . Jake, it seems the return to meat has been meaningful for you. Talk of sausage and burgers in the same paragraph? Always love to hear about your running/cooking adventures. Could you send a little of that homemade tomato sauce over?

chelsea - we live in manchester which is just east of hartford. we don't have plans for labor day. you're welcome here or we can come up to you if you're free. i'll try and get your email from your parents soon.

ok then, now jake, can i interest you in coming down to hartford and running the half-marathon in october. you guys would have to wait a while for me at the finish line, but it seems like you've been running and it is suppose to be a fun race.
