Hello Delco RRC
 
(It doesn't always have to be related to sports, does it?  Though running/walking/exercise is an art.)
 
"I let the art I create speak for itself....I simply make it and put it into the world."  "..just do the work" and "go to it."
                      -David Gerbstadt
 
Who is David Gerbstadt?  You may have seen his work since he is a local fellow.  Read his story at this link: http://www.gerbstadt.net/biography.htm.
 
 
I believe his art is sold at the Starbucks in Media.  $2 for his art if I remember correctly.
 
With this quote in mind: Be creative, whether you are changing yourself or the world.  Come join us at one of our many Fun Runs, recreate yourself.
Swarthmore Fun Run - Wednesday
 
42 runners and walkers were out last night for the Swarthmore Fun Run.  5 new runners joined us last night and 6 of us hit the trails for a 7 mile trail run. 16 people came out to Swarthmore Pizza afterward for good food, laughs and chit chat.  Come on out and join in the fun.  All abilities are welcome.
Good Eats
 
Panzanella Bread Salad
 
2 red onions, sliced 1/2 inch thick
8 plum (Roma) tomatoes, cored
4 tablespoons olive oil, divided
4 cups cubed Italian bread
2 teaspoons dried thyme leaves
salt and pepper to taste
1 cucumber, peeled, halved lengthwise, seeded, and cut into 1/2 inch slices
1/2 cup shredded fresh basil
3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
2 tablespoons olive oil

Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat.
Brush the onion slices and tomatoes with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, and set aside. Drizzle another 2 tablespoons of olive oil over the cubed bread in a large bowl. Sprinkle with thyme, salt, and pepper; toss well. Skewer the bread cubes with metal skewers.
Grill bread on preheated grill until golden brown on all sides, about 3 minutes. Grill onions and tomatoes until soft, about 5 minutes.
Chop the roasted onions and tomatoes into large pieces, and place into a large bowl along with the toasted bread, cucumber, and basil. Whisk the vinegar together with the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil to make a dressing. Pour over the salad, and toss to coat.
