Clever Ideas Worth knowing

 Take your bananas apart when you get home from the store. If you leave them connected at the stem, they ripen faster.
 
Store your opened chunks of cheese in aluminum foil.  It will stay fresh much longer and not mold!
 
Peppers with 3 bumps on the bottom are sweeter and better for eating.
Peppers with 4 bumps on the bottom are firmer and better for cooking
 
Add a teaspoon of water when frying ground beef.  It will help pull the grease away from the meat while cooking.
 
To really make scrambled eggs or omelets rich add a couple of
spoonfuls of sour cream, cream cheese, or heavy cream in and then beat them up
 
For a cool brownie treat, make brownies as directed. Melt Andes mints in double broiler and pour over warm brownies. Let set for a wonderful minty frosting

hand up

Add garlic immediately to a recipe if you want a light taste
of garlic and at the end of the recipe if your want a stronger taste of garlic
 
Leftover snickers bars from Halloween make a delicious dessert. Simply chop them up with the food chopper. Peel, core and slice a few apples. Place them in a baking dish and sprinkle the chopped candy bars over the apples. Bake at 350 for 15 minutes!!! Serve alone or with vanilla ice cream. Yummm!
 
Reheat PizzaHeat up leftover pizza in a nonstick skillet on top of the stove, set heat to med-low and heat till warm. This keeps the crust crispy. No soggy micro pizza. I saw this on the cooking channel and it really works
 
Easy Deviled Eggs Put cooked egg yolks in a zip lock bag. Seal, mash till they are all broken up.  Add remainder of ingredients, reseal, keep mashing it up mixing thoroughly, cut the tip of the baggy, squeeze mixture into egg.  Just throw bag away when done easy clean up
 
Expanding Frosting When you buy a container of cake frosting from the store, whip it with your mixer for a few minutes. You can double it in size. You get to frost more cake/cupcakes with the same amount. You also eat less sugar and calories per serving.
 
Reheating refrigerated bread To warm biscuits, pancakes, or muffins that were refrigerated, place them in a microwave with a cup of water. The increased moisture will keep the food moist and help it reheat faster
 
Newspaper weeds away Start putting in your plants, work the nutrients in your soil. Wet newspapers, put layers around the plants overlapping as you go cover with mulch and for-get about weeds. Weeds will get through some gardening plastic they will not get through wet newspapers.
 

hand up

Broken Glass Use a wet cotton ball or Q-tip to pick up the small shards of glass you can't see easily.
 
No More Mosquitoes Place a dryer sheet in your pocket. It will keep the mosquitoes away.
 
Squirrel Away! To keep squirrels from eating your plants, sprinkle your plants with cayenne pepper. The cayenne pepper doesn't hurt the plant and the squirrels won't come near it.
 
Flexible vacuum To get something out of a heat register or under the fridge add an empty paper towel roll or empty gift wrap roll to your vacuum. It can be bent or flattened to get in narrow openings.
 
Reducing Static Cling Pin a small safety pin to the seam of your slip and you will not have a clingy skirt or dress. Same thing works with slacks that cling when wearing panty hose. Place pin in seam of slacks and ... ta da! ... static is gone
 
Measuring Cups Before you pour sticky substances into a measuring cup,   fill with hot water. Dump out the hot water, but don't dry cup. Next, add your ingredient, such as peanut butter, and watch how easily it comes right out
 
Re open-ing envelopes If you seal an envelope and then realize you forgot to include something inside, just place your sealed envelope in the freezer for an hour   or two. Viola! It unseals easily
 
Conditioner Use your hair conditioner to shave your legs. It's cheaper than shaving cream and leaves your legs really smooth. It's also a great way to use   up the conditioner you bought but didn't like when you tried it in your hair.
 
Goodbye Fruit Flies To get rid of pesky fruit flies, take a small glass, fill it 1/2' with Apple Cider Vinegar and 2 drops of dish washing liquid; mix well. You will find those flies drawn to the cup and gone forever.
 
Get Rid of Ants Put small piles of cornmeal where you see ants. They eat it, take it 'home,' can't digest it so it kills them. It may take a week or so, especially if it rains, but it works and you don't have the worry about pets or small children being harmed How 'bout stink bugs?

Grete Waitz, Gasparilla 15K Running Legend Passes Away 

The Gasparilla Distance Classic Association  is deeply saddened by the news that Grete Waitz,  a legendary pioneer in women's running, passed away today after fighting a long battle with cancer. 

     Waitz, who made Bayshore Boulevard  her playground, won the Gasparilla 15K a record six times (1980, 1981, 1982, 1984, 1985, 1987) and set a World Record in 1980 (48:01), was 57. 

hand up

A sporting legend in her native Norway, in addition to her performances in Tampa, Waitz was perhaps best known for her streak of four World Bests in the Marathon from 1978 to 1983, her five victories at the IAAF World Cross Country Championships, and for her record nine victories at the New York City Marathon. 

 
     Grete was a great friend to the Gasparilla Distance Classic, running community and Tampa Bay community.  Whether she was competing, coaching or simply offering a smile, training tip or word of encouragement, she did it with great passion, dedication, perseverance and grace...the same way that she fought her cancer. 

 

     Though cancer took her life, Grete's legacy will live on in the lives of all whom she touched.

Many of you did not know Jim Montgomery.  But, if you were a runner in the 70's & 80's in Daytona Beach, you knew Jim.  Jim passed away on Feb. 26, 2011 at the age of 77.  The running  community has lost a dear friend.

Jim was one of the charter members of the Daytona Beach Track Club and a three time past president. In the early years when the club did not have money to put on a race or buy t-shirts, it  was Jim who dug into his pockets.  He sponsored the DBTC racing team for five years and was instrumental in keeping the club going financially for many, many years.  Jim was also a charter member of the Daytona Beachcombers Running Club and was our major benefactor.

Jim was born in Princeville, Illinois in 1934.  In 1952 he went off to college in Monmouth, Ill.  where he ran track, the 880 and the long jump.   He didn't do distance.  He worked his way  through school, taking time off to work at various jobs.  At one time he was an assistance store keeper for North American Cruise Lines and sometimes entertained the guest by doing skits, dancing and singing.

 
In the fall of 1958 he moved to Deland, Florida where he got a job building floats for Stetson Universities 75th. anniversary.  From there he moved to Miami then back to Daytona and settled here in 1959. 

At that time, Bob Wheeler was Captain of the Lifeguards and was giving Life Saving Course at the   old YMCA on Beach St.  Jim passed the course and became a lifeguard with the City and was with them until 1967.  Many of you know the drills the guards must go through each day and that is where Jim got his running in.  At the same time he also worked for the Daytona Beach Fire Fighters

 
In 1974, when Jim was 40 years old, he did most of his road racing.  He ran Cherry Blossom Classic, Peachtree (won age 40-44 in 37:48), Bay to Bay, Great Race, Peachtree Battle, Jacksonville Beach, and Daytona’s Easter Beach Run where he won the masters title in a time of 25:00.  He ran 50 races that year and logged some 3,000 miles in racing and training.  His claim to fame in his racing career was at The Virginia 10 Miler in Lynchburg, VA.  On September 25, 2010 Jim completed his 37th Virginia Ten Miler.  The Virginia Ten Miler is one of the most challenging road races in the country.  Jim is one of three that completed all 37.  Jim was extremely proud that even tho he was dead last in the race, he still placed 3rd. in his age group of 70 & over and was escorted to the finish line by Girls On The Run.  And now, there will only be two that have completed 37 races.

 
Jim loved old things or ‘things’ with a history.  In 1993 he bought a home in Bishop Hill, Ill. that was built in 1847 and on the National Registry.  Over the years it was a home, a hotel and a funeral home.  He semi-restored the home.  In 1989 Jim purchased John D. Rockefeller’s 1910 beach chair.  In 2003 Jim sold the chair to the Casements where it has been on display.

hand up

Coming from a musical background and family Jim played several different instruments including a trumpet, cornet, baritone euphonium and a valve trombone.  You have heard the song, 76 Trombones?  Jims desire was to own 76 Trombones.  He kind of went over board and was the proud owner of over 100 trombones.  Jim gives two scholarships to Princeville High School in Illinois in  honor of Lucille Montgomery, his mother who taught piano for 20 years, and Jim McGinnis, his grandfather, who was a professional musician.
 
Of all his collectables, Blue Belle, was his most prized possession.  Blue Belle was Jim's 1972 Porsche which he bought from Brumos Porsche in Jacksonville.  Prior to Blue Belle he had Rosie, a red 1968 Porsche.  Then came Sunshine, an orange 1970 Porsche but then along came Blue Belle which he still owned.  Blue Belle had three engine overalls and finally a new engine.  Blue Belle and Jim have been to four Olympic Games.  Munich, Germany in 1972 (they took the Queen Elizabeth 2 over), Montreal in 1976, Los Angeles in 1984 and Atlanta, 1996.  Blue Belle was always at all of the Daytona Beach Track Club races back in the 80's & 90's.  Jim would put the timing clock on top of her her hood at the Tomoka Four Miler..  She led many of the races, including The Paul deBruyn  and the Sandpiper.
 

Friends and runner's will miss Jim and his accurate times as he was our dependable timer  at Paint The Towne and RayZ Awareness. 

In the Paul deBruyn's 30K heyday, it was Jim  that started the tradition with the Jacksonville Track Club of feeding their runner's after the race.  The JTC would charter a bus and bring a bus load of runner's down.  This was their favorite race of the year.  So they did not have to return to Jacksonville hungry, Jim would cook them hamburgers on the grill and make them milk shakes.  JTC loved it - and so did Jim.  And so  the tradition was born of having a food sponsor for the race.

 
In 1974, Ted Beardsley, (DBTC president ’77) met Paul de Bruyn at the Bali Jr. restaurant and invited him to attend the DBTC meetings.  The rest is history.  DBTC became Paul’s family and Paul became DBTC’s sweetheart.  He attended every function the club had and looked forward each year to the Paul deBruyn road race that is named in his honor.  Paul delighted in the attention he received and race participants adored him.  He was always the presenter of the awards and signed autographs.  It was Jim Montgomery who saw to it that Paul was at these functions.  Jim would drive Paul everywhere.  Meetings were held at local diners back then and it was the monthly highlight for Paul, Dick Fortier, Ed Root and many of the old timers as well as the younger runners who delighted in hearing the stories, again.

The RRCA Hall of Fame was created in 1970.  Paul deBruyn was not in the Road Runner’s Hall of Fame so in 1980 Glenn Vincent started the ball rolling to get Paul inducted into the RRCA   American Long Distance Running Hall of Fame. Consideration is given to candidates' long-term athletic performance and/or to their overall contribution to the sport. Paul was inducted in 1983 and Jim  drove Paul (in Blue Belle) to California to receive his award.  Jim became Paul’s manager and coordinated Paul’s 'last hoorah' for the 100th Boston Marathon in 1996.  Paul deBruyn passed away April 5, 1997, two weeks before the running of the 101st Boston Marathon.
 
You could ask Jim Montgomery any facts, dates, years of any of the top runner’s dating back to the 70’s or anything you wanted to know about Johnny Miles or the Boston Marathon and he could rattle  off, without hesitation, the information you want. He was a runners walking encyclopedia, one of the most interesting, versatile, eccentric and caring person you would ever meet and he definitely cared about our running community.
 
Jim was a pretty cool guy.  If you did not know Jim, you missed out on knowing one of life's most unique individuals.  If you knew him, you will now how much he is going to be missed.  Especially  by me.

Cinco de Mayo • May 5

 

Black Bean Tacos

This veggie taco is loaded with protein from the beans and seitan (wheat gluten). Look for seitan  in health food stores or near tofu in larger supermarkets. If you prefer to skip the seitan, use another can of black beans, tofu, beef, or chicken in its place.

 

 
Ingredients
  • 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • 3/4 cup chopped onion
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 jalapeño pepper, seeded and minced
  • 1 tablespoon dry sherry
 
 
  • 1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 (15-ounce) can black beans, undrained
  • 1 (8-ounce) package seitan (wheat gluten), finely chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 12 taco shells
  • 2 cups shredded romaine lettuce
Preparation
  • Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add onion, oregano, garlic, and jalapeño;  cook 8 minutes, stirring frequently. Stir in sherry, soy sauce, beans, and seitan; bring to a boil.  Cook 7 minutes or until liquid almost evaporates. Sprinkle with black pepper.
  • Prepare taco shells according to package directions. Spoon about 1/3 cup bean mixture into each shell; top each taco with about 2 1/2 tablespoons lettuce and about 2 1/2 tablespoons Avocado Salsa.                                              Bon Appétit

Serve above with Must-Have Classic Margaritas

 

Classic Margarita

This easy cocktail is a simple mix of shaken  fresh lime juice, orange liqueur, tequila, and powdered sugar. For a shortcut, substitute frozen limeade concentrate for the lime juice and sugar. Like it slushy? Add ice and whiz the mixture in a blender.
 Prep: 10 min. Make any size batch of this recipe and all the variations by simply multiplying the ingredient measurements by the desired number of servings. For larger batches, stir together all ingredients in a pitcher until powdered sugar is dissolved. Chill and serve over ice. For a sweeter drink, use 1/2 cup powdered sugar instead of 1/3 cup.

The Boston Athletic Association announced new qualifying times and new registration procedures     for the Boston Marathon.   Both go into effect for the 2012 and 2013 marathons. In 2012, the BAA    will institute rolling admission for qualifiers with the fastest runners being allowed to enter first. The field will be filled with the fastest of all qualifiers.

Then, in 2013, the BAA will make it more difficult to qualify by lowering time standards by five minutes across all age groups and both genders. The rolling admission process also will remain in place for 2013 and future marathons, continuing to allow the fastest runners to enter first.

The new qualifying times and registration procedures come in response to the 2011 Boston   Marathon selling out in a record 8 hours and 3 minutes in October. With the race filling so quickly, thousands  of qualifiers were unable to register. After the record sellout, the BAA began reviewing   its registration process and researching options to make race entry more fair in the future, not just a sprint to the online registration page. The BAA believes its new formula is the fairest option that best serves the running community and stays true to the marathon’s history as a race for qualifiers.

Jim Kohrt reports from the far north of Minnetonka, MN that after putting over 20,000 miles on the car it was a good winter to stay close to home, give their behinds a rest and experience the winter from beginning to end.  They had over 80 inches of snow so it was a good year to do it.  In mid February they went on a weeks elder hostel in northern Wisconsin. They spent a week of cross country skiing, snowshoeing and learning about the north woods.  It was an amazing experience.      As always, the Kohrt's don't sit still for long and very adventuresome.

Bart Yasso, Runner's World, said, "If I were told that we could run only one marathon in our lifetime, Big Sur would have to be it.  So Max & Erica Saylor took that to heart and they are presently in California............running!  Max has promised a report!

Rick Snyder has hung up the racing shoes (temporally, I'm sure).  Rick continues to have heart issues but laced up to come up from Vero to run in RayZ Awareness.  Rick, a melanoma survivor, has been one of the races greatest supporters.  Instead of running as much, he is peddling up and down A1A with a goal to ride to Melbourne and back, 80 mile round trip. Rick is 75 years young.   You can't keep a good man down.
 
Summer is here.  School soon will be out.  Families will be traveling.  Drive safely.  Have a   wonderful summer.
