I don't like cold long winters. I like summer sports. I live in the north.  I'd rather swim with Manta Rays where it's warm. I enjoy sailing vacations. I visit many aquariums. I am a lawyer. I practice general law.  I wish I worked at the Smithsonian. I like to go boating, watching television. I love watching TV. I go to a gym. I like swimming.
I watch television shows that are similar to CSI. I prefer Criminal Minds. I live in a cool climate. I enjoy cooking in the winter. I stay warm in the winter by cooking up a storm. I like to go boating and biking. I like to do anything outdoors or on the water. I am a teacher. I teach third grade. I run on a treadmill.
What kinds of dishes do you cook in the winter? I'm always looking for new ideas. Where to start? I love fixing soups and chilis in the winter. They're great for crock pots, and they help warm everyone up. Are you looking for stuff for breakfast, lunch, or dinner? That dinner stuff sounds awesome! I like the idea of a crock pot. Just set it and forget it, right? Exactly! I know a really good recipe for a pork based vegetable soup. It's a Cuban recipe from a friend in Florida. I feel like that might be right up your alley when there's 2 feet of snow outside. Oh DEFINITELY. Nothing like a hearty bowl of soup when I come in from shoveling. What did you get up to for the rest of the day? I ended up putting a pork roast in the crock pot for dinner, and got caught up with the last few episodes of Criminal minds that I had recorded. What about you? I worked out to try and destress. Work has been crazy lately. You'd have been proud of me, I hit a new personal best on the treadmill! Congrats! You're gonna' need to put that treadmill to use more if you let me cook for you. I tend to pack on the pounds during winter, and we'll need our boat bodies ready when it warms up. Haha! That seems like an extremely good deal to me. I get all of the benefits while still being able to correctly claim that I go to the gym! There are some dishes I fix that are much easier on the hips. I've gotten pretty good at cooking good meals to serve as fuel for the treadmill.  Perfect. And if there's any simple recipes and particular crock pot models you'd recommend let me know, so I can practice at home! Do you already own a roasting pan and baking sheet?
