Tues 22 Oct

Soreness is pretty well gone from my legs now. Wearing the old insoles in my Keens today; I can notice the difference from the factory insoles. Nice to be off the pager for the next week. Tried the last of my new DWTS DVDs today. This one was likely one of the earliest versions as it is more basic steps than routines, but good. Tried a new recipe for dinner tonight that is a definite keeper - Ginger-Garlic Roasted Chicken with Curried Sweet Potatoes. I used boneless, skinless breasts and cut them in bite-size pieces whereas the recipe trimmed breast halves off the bone and kept them larger. Chicken is coated in a mixture of plain Greek yogurt, lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, minced fresh ginger, salt and pepper. Sweet potato is cut in small 1/2-in sticks and coated in a mixture of curry powder, cumin, cinnamon, cayenne, salt and pepper. Everything is put on a rimmed baking sheet, baked 20 min, turn the sweet potatoes and bake another 15-20 min. We had a very nice surprise in that Michael stopped over to have Dad help him put air in the Matrix' tires just as the dinner was on the last 20 min of cooking time so I was able to convince him to join us. We haven't had dinner together in far too long.
