Mum’s the Word– Weekend Scenes

he finished his first ever 10k in 59:25, 3rd for his age group and then rode his bike 14 miles home for a cool down!

ladybug liked my compression tights

new favorite vegetable– Jicama! tastes like a turnip but not as bitter, really crisp and juicy when peeled

 

practice hiking for yosemite with my dad

How was your weekend? :)  Have you ever had jicama before?

  1. Woo congrats to your dad! He sounds pretty awesome :-) I adore your compression tights, they look absolutely fantastic! The practice hike looks beautiful, I miss going for long walks and hikes!

  2. AHH I had to stop by and say HEY GIRL!!! Ok Ive never tried jicama but I am dying to! Ive heard about it. I LOVE YOUR COMPRESSION TIGHTS! You are so freaking CUTE

  3. Your tights are amazing! I love wearing bright colours – they always put me in a good mood. :D

    Also congrats to your dad – that’s awesome!

    I’ve never tried jicama but I always see it in tons of summer recipes so I’ll have to give it a try this season!

  4. Girl your compression tights are off the chain! I love the design and bright colours. Where did you get them? My weekend was fab….photo course was amazing! Now just have to save my pennies to get a DSLR. How’s it going with the new trainer btw?

  5. I LOVE your tights and your SHOES!! YAY for breaking them in with run!! I have never tried jicama, but was just talking about trying it yesterday. Now I have the push I needed! Your dad did GREAT for his 10K!

  6. I almost completely forgot about jicama!! I freakin’ love those things. They can be sweet or savory, too. Savory = cut into wedges, sprinkle salt and pepper on them and eat like fries. Nommmm.

  7. LOVE jicama! its so good in summer salads and slaws! although thats so difficult to make haha i’m with you on the chop it and eat it. i also like topping it with pb because what doesn’t taste good with pb right?

  8. Congrats to your dad!! Can’t believe his cool down was a 14 mile bike ride haha. Intense, I like it. Love the compression tights! And jicama is my fave!! I tried it last month and can’t get enough!! It makes such a great rice substitute if you process it a little in the food processor.

  9. DUDE those leggings, oh my gosh. You must have kicked some serious butt in that race, way to go. I have never had jicama but I think trying them roasted would be delicious! Absolutely amazing.

  10. um. SO jealous you’re hiking Yosemite. My Dad would be too. Perhaps soon, although he just got surgery so….perhaps not.
    Jicama is so good! I love its crisp crunch. Here they sell them presliced and I like to bake them up in the morning like fries and dip into nut butter- do itttt
    best weekend ever.

  11. Your weekend seems awesome. Here, we use jicama in a sort of spring roll thing that’s really good; with hard boiled egg, bean sprouts, a really good sauce and some ground peanuts wrapped up in an egg wrap. :)

  12. JIcama is on my list of veggies to try! I’ve heard it tastes great shredded into salads! I recently came across kabocha squash in Mumbai (never would I have expected to) so here’s hoping jicama is available too! Congrats to your dad for the 10K run- he should be super proud of himself :) !
