Running and Grilled Cheese
February 23rd, 2012 § Leave a Comment
I know. That blog title is intriguiging, right? What does running have to do with grilled cheese? Well, in my world, the two collide into my jam packed weekend schedule. Here’s what’s goin’ down!
The Ragnar Relay Del Sol is this weekend (February 25-25). What is Ragnar? Basically, me and 11 friends are going to hop into two vans and head up to Wickenburg to start a 200-mile relay race! (Yes, I said 2-0-0 miles!) It will take us about 32-ish hours to make it to the finish line which leaves plenty of time for laughter, great conversations and general silliness.
Next up, the Grilled Cheese Throwdown. Seriously. Best. Event. Ever. If I’ve never confessed it here before, I am a sucker for a good grilled cheese sandwich. Between grilled cheese and mac ‘n cheese, I scour a restaurant’s menu for the cheesy goodness – even if I ultimately order the spinach salad with cranberries.
Really, though. What’s not to love about grilled cheese? Bread…good! Butter…good! Melted, gooey cheese…ummm, hello!? Great! I attended this event last year and had a blast. I never knew some of the most popular local restaurants in Phoenix and Scottsdale had their own take on this classic meal. I can’t wait to wrap up my weekend of driving and running this Sunday (February 26) with an evening of stuffing myself with the best grilled cheese sandwiches the Valley has to offer. (NOTE: this year’s throwdown is sold out, but if you follow Girl Meets Fork, you’ll get the heads up on next year’s event!)
Bring it on, weekend! I am ready for all the challenges ahead.
