Usually cacophony takes hold in our household when the UPS guy shows up. We love our UPS guy; Carina (our dog) loves him even more. He always brings her half a dog treat (he carefully breaks them in half for her since she’s so small — cool huh?!) When I come home, Carina barely lifts her head. When JJ comes home, she’s out of the chair waiting quietly by the garage door, but when the UPS guy shows up, you’d think she was doing her part heralding in the eschaton. In any case, UPS showed up, quietly dropped off an envelope and left without Carina even noticing, so I had no reason to expect the glorious little package sitting on our step a half an hour ago when I looked out the window.
MY RAGBRAI PACKET CAME TODAY!!
Oh yea, did I tell you I was excited?!
I have gotten disturbingly few miles in on my bike this year, and yet eagerness rules the day.
Want to know more about Ragbrai?! I blogged through it last year and the year before – you can click on the “Ragbrai” category (right-hand side of the screen) and read about it. Or, you can go to the Des Moines Register’s Ragbrai site at: http://www.ragbrai.org.

Oh, and heads up: I just heard back from Bruce Weinstein, from whom I requested permission from to post a copy of his Chocolate Sorbet Recipe #1… heavenly! Don’t let the fact that it’s only made from 3 ingredients fool you; this recipe is a keeper… Dark… Rich… Even Creamy (despite being entirely dairy free). Maybe tomorrow…. Bruce Weinstein is the author of of dozens of cookbooks – my favorite: The Ultimate Ice Cream Book.
