Here is a recipe for the dinner I made tonight. If I had known I would be posting it, I would have taken a photo. This makes a very attractive dish and makes a very tasty meal:
Peach-Cucumber-Barley Salad
Active time 20 minutes, total time 50 minutes, main dish, makes four servings
Ingredients:
1 cup pearl barley
1 ¾ cups of vegetable or chicken broth
1 ¼ cups water
1 cucumber (seedless if possible)
1 pt. cherry tomatoes
2 ripe peaches
1 pt. cherry tomatoes2½ cup packed fresh basil leaves. Substitute parsley or something similar if necessary
2 tablespoons cider vinegar
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
Salt and pepper
1 can (15 oz) chickpeas (garbanzo beans) drained and rinsed
Leaves of lettuce (Boston, Romaine, etc.)
Put barley, water and broth into a 4 quart saucepan. Bring to a boil then reduce heat and simmer 35 minutes or until tender. Drain if necessary and cool slightly.
While waiting for the barley to cook, cut the cucumber in half lengthwise and scoop out and discard soft center, then cut into small pieces. Pit and chop peaches. Cut the tomatoes. Chop up the basil.
In a large bowl whisk together vinegar, oil, and ¼ teaspoon salt and pepper if you want.
Add the barley and toss until well coated. Cool until no longer hot, then add cucumber, peaches, tomatoes, and chickpeas, tossing until well combined. Serve over the lettuce leaves.
Each serving: about 365 calories, 13 g protein, 69 g carbohydrates, 6 g. total fat (0 saturated) 15 g fiber, 0 g cholesterol, 515 mg sodium.
Nb: This was not in the original recipe, but I added some chopped black olives and some dried cranberries.
added later: As I mentioned, the dish is nice in appearance. I didn't take a photo, but I did take a photo of a small deer this morning. It was swimming across the river from the shore to an island when I first saw the deer. Just the head was sticking out above the water. They are vulnerable when they are swimming in deep water because they swim slowly even though they are working hard (That makes me think of my rowing.) Once the deer got to shallow water he was running around, jumping, splashing water, wagging his tail.

Even more interesting to me is others intentionally change rangers post and they are not banned ... un-level playing field jumps to mind.mikvan52 wrote:

An excellent point, and one I have considered. Ultimately I don't have a problem with someone changing what another poster wrote, so long as it's made clear that they've done so (e.g. with a 'fixed that for you' comment). But just changing what somebody wrote, or changing the attribution of a quote, is a no-no.JimR wrote: Even more interesting to me is others intentionally change rangers post and they are not banned ... un-level playing field jumps to mind.
Hopefully ranger doesn't misunderstand this and put a disclaimer in his signature line ... something like "the above post does not reflect any reality as we know it, is complete fiction and may misrepresent the postings of others"PaulH wrote:An excellent point, and one I have considered.

Always interested in contrary views though - I'm very open to learning from others
It carries over to his teaching, I'm sure!JimR wrote:

I think Ranger's problem is that he honestly believes the crap he writes, either that or we're all part of some research experiment and our replies to his postings are being analyzed to form his next published paper.JimR wrote: Hopefully ranger doesn't misunderstand this and put a disclaimer in his signature line ... something like "the above post does not reflect any reality as we know it, is complete fiction and may misrepresent the postings of others"

Apparently I was wrong, someone is disputing that you were once a world class erg'er. So, going forward just so you know I don't dispute the fact you were once a world class erg'er. IMO it does not matter how many choose to participate, the fact of the matter remains that at one time of all those to choose to compete in the pseudo sport of erg'ing he was once one of the best for his age. It seems to me that would be the definition of "world class" at anything. Obviously you can't compare yourself against anyone who doesn't choose to participate.kini62 wrote:Serious?

Seems to be the equivalent of a world class stationary trainer rider or a world class treadmill runner.
There's nothing world class about erging. It's not a sport, it has a very, very small subset of rowers participating in "ranked" events.
It is, however, the only thing TSO has ever had any amount of success. After trying and failing to achieve anything noteworthy in nearly every sport known to man he finally stumbled upon an pseudo "sport" with so few participants he could finally achieve something seemingly noteworthy.
However it was very short lived and like an aging boxer that doesn't know when to quit despite getting knocked out or severely beaten TSO refuses to see his rapid and substantial age related decline.
Next up on TSO's agenda is the retirement home walker regatta. 10 meters, all out, tennis balls only, no wheels...
