Yesterday at home after a 42 km. bike ride, the Thanksgiving dinner was:

seared bison marinated in soy sauce, maple syrup, ginger root with sasktoonberry sauce. Served over sautéed fennel bulb. Squash-potato gnocchi on the side that he made. Saskatoonberry wine. Then we had each slightly smashed (from a bike ride) tartlets for dessert. (Turkey is not really part of either his or mine tradition at all. We like it when other people make turkey. )


Today --another extension of Thanksgiving weekend:

B- cornflakes with plain yogurt dollop, a huge dollop of homemade plum-peach-wine compote and milk, tea with milk. Added in half eaten small chocolate biscotti

Then we went for 65 km. bike ride with some short hills all over in a large river valley park area where I seldom go since am unfamiliar. Midway during ride and fabulous fall colours, we stopped for lunch at restaurant.

Brunch- smoked salmon eggs benedict over light cornbread with capers, lemon sauce. (last time I had eggs benedict was over 6 months ago) Orange juice with sparkling wine. Small beignets (French for donut) with wine whipped cream and strawberry coulis sauce for dipping. Coffee with milk.

Supper - a bison sausage with saskatoonberries, fresh tomato slices with boccocini cheese and fresh herbs. Tea with coffee. Half of a small pumpkin-fig tartlet.

Maybe because the temperatures were 5-10 degrees C throughout the day, I burned off more energy than expected. Or maybe I was unfit. Doesn't matter much. A lovely Sunday of special meals and great scenic cycling.

B: whole wheat bagel with light veggie cream cheese and lox, coffee, strawberries
We went on a 45 mile ride, with 2,300 ft. of climbing. It was colder than I thought it would be...
L: My usual almond butter on whole wheat spelt raisin bread sandwich that I bring on rides, some nuts and cranberries, 1.4 bottles of water, I ate a Lara Bar throughout the ride.
S: I had some Machengo cheese, pita rounds, and hummus when I got home and was preparing dinner, when friends came over. I get ravenous after these kinds of rides, and I kind of give in to it. If I just eat a little or have, say, chocolate milk, I still am hungry and end up eating more.
D: Had some more of above appetizers. 2 glasses of red wine, 4 oz. of delicious sirloin steak, sweet potato, and broccoli. Fresh strawberries for dessert.

B: half a red pepper, stuffed with light veggie cream cheese and lox. I bought endive for this breakfast, and can't find it! I think it got thrown out when I unloaded the groceries. Had an orange, 2 cups of coffee
S: Before my ride, I ate one slice of raisin spelt bread with almond butter, during ride, one Lara Bar, one bottle of water in 39 miles
L: shredded chicken with green chili salsa, melted cheddar, 1/4 avocado, a square of chocolate
S: walnuts
D: home made butternut squash soup from the Paleo cookbook, salad with goat cheese and cranberries, fig vinegar
