Checketts in the News
This week was kind of fun because Andrew and I both made the newspaper.Andrew was recognized on the front page of the Eugene Register-Guard Sports Section because his recruiting class was ranked second-best in the nation. He has worked so hard and done such a great job and it was fun to see the article in the paper. Go Ducks!
The next day, I was in the Register-Guard as well when an article I wrote for the hospital was published in the "Your Health" section. In short, I said to eat MORE...fruits and vegetables that is. One tip that I learned from writing this article was to make fruits and vegetables half of what you eat every time you eat - that's a good challenge!
This is Andrew eating a piece of the "Chef's Special" at The Pizza Research Institute. It had slices of corn on the cob, broccoli, curry cauliflower, mushrooms, zucchini strips and so much more. It is always different (pretty much whatever they have on hand in the restaurant) and it was delicious. The potato, pear, pesto pizza was also a hit. I know it sounds weird, but come visit and you'll love it. I promise.
I think every one's favorite part of the weekend was when Dad flew us to the coast in his fancy, schmancy new plane, Kilo Hotel (I liked his old plane, Golf Alfalfa too, but Kilo Hotel has cruise control and flies fast as the wind). We flew over the ocean and enjoyed the amazing views from our first class flight. We toured a beautiful lighthouse on the beach and then went to an ice cream parlor in town and got ice cream for the first time that day. Apparently deliciously gooey, double scoop ice cream sundaes are standard fare after every meal when my husband and my dad get together (much to the dismay and distress of their almost Registered Dietitian wife/daughter, I might add).
