I just wanted to do a little bragging and let everyone know how proud I am of my kids. Both Dan and Kate, and her husband Dale, have been training for months for major competitions.On February 3rd, Dan, a culinary arts student at New York City's Institute of Culinary Education, competed in the San Pellegrino Almost Famous Chef Competition. His signature dish was Slow-Roasted Rabbit With Tasso and Leek Stuffing. He practiced it so many times I'm sure a lot of rabbits out there gave a great sigh of relief when the competition was over. Dan didn't win, but he did a great job and came away with ideas and skills for future competitions. I can't wait until he cooks for me!
On February 14th, Kate and Dale ran a marathon in Austin, Texas. They trained in all kinds of weather, in Texas, Michigan and California. In the marathon they ran for four hours and twenty-five minutes. Kate finished in the top third for women and Dale finished in the top half for men, out of a total of 3000 runners. Dale and Kate ran at the same pace during the race, to encourage each other---what better example of true love on Valentine's Day! Dale swore he'd never run in another marathon, but they're already considering running in the Detroit marathon in October.
Congratulations Dan, Kate and Dale! I'm proud of you and can't wait to see what your futures hold. Love you!
