Venison tacos

Yesterday I spent six hours dodging trees on the slopes at Steamboat Springs in Colorado. I'm not your typical mountain skier, but I can hold my own. It was my first time on skis this season and my legs started feeling the burn after only a few runs. Tree skiing turns out to be a terrific cardiovascular workout and I burned a ton of calories, so I was hungry!

When we returned to the condo, my brother made tacos. They were your typical homemade tacos, except he used venison meat (instead of beef). He added the perfect of garlic and herbs along with taco seasoning. He also poured a cup of water in the frying pan. It was extremely juicy. I couldn't stop myself from eating 10 tacos. That's right, 10. Another "not-so-bright" eating moment as I'm sure I'll feel the residual effects all day at Vail. That's our destination today.

In addition to the tacos, we had some healthier alternatives that the guys were confused about. They had never eaten Swiss chard, but they crossed the line of health yesterday and enjoyed it. I also baked a small acorn squash. After adding butter and sugar, it became dessert.
