No sweeties and cycling goal

I’ve been abusing of chocolate, candies and other sweeties for over a month; now that Easter is over, I’m going to fast for a week. I really feel I had too much; this also includes soft drinks.

Also, I’m trying to cycle 1,000 km this month and I need another 123 km until Wednesday to make it; and the weather forecast isn’t in my favour.  Fortunately my initial goal has been reached (1,000 km on foot or bike), but It would be icing on the cake :-). We’ll see how it goes.

Being on call sucks

Being on call means being stuck at home, near home, at work or near the office. Especially it’s the third weekend this month… However, I have found a way to ride my mountain bike and stay within acceptable distance in case of call.

I don’t know how long it’s going to take until I have enough doing such tours, but I have to admit that the shape on the map is interesting; maybe I should draw some pictures on the map.

I forgot to mention that I didn’t allow myself to ride multiple times on the same road segment. 🙂

Mango and Nutella spring rolls

Here’s a food experiment: spring rolls, with mango, Nutella and grilled almond.

Nutella spring rolls

In a few easy steps:

  1. Submerge the rice paper into water,
  2. Preheat the oven,
  3. Peel the mango then slice in into small cubes,
  4. Grill the almonds without any fat,
  5. Melt some butter,
  6. When everything is ready, start putting a few cubes into the rice paper, two tea cups of Nutella and add a thin layer of grilled almonds,
  7. Wrap the whole thing and spread butter around and put the rolls in the oven,
  8. After about 15 minutes, the rice paper will be crunchy and can be served.

Don’t try to put too much quantity into the roll like I did as the water inside the roll makes it more difficult to get something super crunchy. Even though the smell, taste and texture were tremendous 🙂
