Well I’ve survived 2 weeks in Alaska so far! The temperatures are getting cooler (we are now in the 50s every day), but I still love it.
I’ve made friends (and bribed them with cookies).
And gotten my gym routine back (Yes my spin class is located on the ice rink.).
So all in all, I’m settling in quite well. Q has a 4-day weekend, so we are going to go camping and rafting with some friends. I think Alaska is slowly trying to turn me into an “outdoorsy” person. We shall see.
Breakfast – 9:00AM
The usual oats, berries, coffee. Q is sort of the best roommate/fiancee ever. He wakes up at 4:45AM every day, stumbles to the kitchen and makes coffee. And when I wake up a few hours later, warm coffee is waiting for me. I like this arrangement we have going on.Lunch – 1:30PM
I went to spin today and then grabbed some turkey from the commissary (Army’s version of Ralph’s) and headed home. We still have a ton of those Flat Out wraps, so I added some pesto, cheese, turkey and put it in the toaster oven until hot. I added lettuce and pickles and that was lunch. Easy, filling, delicious. Dinner – Monday night
Monday night Q and I got a little adventurous in the kitchen. We made Greek Style Shrimp with Tomatoes and Feta AND we made polenta. Polenta is hard work people. We took turns for 20 minutes stirring until it was done. My arms were hurting. But this dish was AMAZING. I’ll post the recipe on the blog later this week.

Hope you send pics of Camping.. love to see them
You know I will!!
It’s so wonderful to hear that things are going well in Alaska. How cool that your spin class is taught on the ice rink.
I’ve never had polenta before, but your dinner looks delicous.

Good to hear that you’re adjusting to Alaska so well! My friend lives up in Anchorage and she always tells me to stop complaining about how cold it is in Ohio when she has negative some odd degrees
Your spin class looks AMAZING as does the shrimp and polenta!
That shrimp and polenta looks to die for! I’ve never cooked polenta before, but all the stirring reminds me of risotto.
