Stretching it Out

I’ve already deviated from the workout schedule I created yesterday. But that’s the great thing about workout schedules – they are totally malleable.

I botched it up in a number of ways: first, I pressed the wrong button on the food processor, so the carrots ended up much too finely shredded. Second, I forgot to buy cooking wine. Third, I didn’t realize we were out of coriander. The meal still ended up pretty decent, but it could have been better:

Off to work now!
