My friend Neil and I have recently reconnected. We have known each other since middle school, but haven’t talked much until our 20-year-reunion and of course, Facebook. He has completed two Ironman triathlons and many other triathlons and marathons; too many to count! I have recently decided to learn how to swim properly so that I can compete in a sprint triathlon and Neil has been teaching me to swim and I in turn help him make healthier food choices. It is a win-win for both us.
He recently shared a couple of things with me. The first was showing me this beautiful quilt that his mom made for him from all of his event t-shirts. For those of you who know me, you know I love love love homemade/handmade things. What a gift to know someone spent a lot and time and effort to make something for you. My favorite quote on this quilt is, “Some people dream of great accomplishments, while others actually stay awake and do them.” {Pic is a bit blurry.. taken with my phone.. 🙂 }
The second thing he shared with me with me is this delicious recipe that he made up himself. I tweaked it a bit based on what I had. This is a wonderful Crockpot recipe although I didn’t do it this way due to unforeseen delay in my day. It goes together quick either way, but I do recommend using the Crockpot to give the flavors even more time to come together.
