Home Meets and Home Dinners

Saturday, April 9th was the Potts Invitational, our home track meet! The first time this season that many of us laced up our spikes and turn on the race mode mindset. And what better way to prepare for a six hour meet in the sun then by carboloading! (I probably shouldn't throw around the term carboloading like that- to really carboloading you must first deplete your cells of carbs, a process that takes about a week, then consume a large amount of carbs-we merrily had a team pasta dinner.)
Pasta, meat sauce,a varriety of bread, salads, some ice tea and cookies covered our kitchen tables. Everyoneone on the track and field team was invited, as long as they possessed two X chromosomes.

As the hosting house, I began the meat sauce 3 hours before the feasting began. Why so early? Because the vine ripe tomatoes needed that much time to boil down and simmer with the fresh oregano and basil.
I colored it up too- yellow squash, orange bell pepper, zucchini, and red onion.

About 25 of us in total devoured the feast! And by looking at the results, I think it paid off!
Bon Appetit Buffalos!
