There will be lots of food, as it keeps me involved in the kitchen, which my wife appreciates. There will also be some work, exercises, grammar (Post edit comment = WTF?), and current events.Caveman Pathttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12389354665758883857noreply@blogger.comBlogger25125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1186275188834833993.post-14396017287707232622010-06-13T22:08:00.000-06:002010-06-13T22:08:09.260-06:00

First of all, thanks to S&T for an amazing morning workout. I think we got er done in about like 15 minutes and it was pretty sweet.  It consisted of: Bear Crawl Flutter Kicks Wide stance pushups Mountain Climbers Reach Ups Side push-ups Dips Quite a nice circuit to start a beautiful Sunday afternoon.  Second off, I apologize for any typos - the beautiful summer days bring with

So it's over.  Thank.  Fucking.  Christ.  (admittedly, I'm not christian, but it's a cultural saying, and since I really don't have a diety that I worship I ain't got nothing better.  "Thank. Fucking. Tree." doesn't sound quite the same. ) So, we placed 4th overall in volleyball, 5th overall in slo-pitch, 21st overall in run, and dead last in dragon boat.

Okay, So it's been a while.  Like 35 days, actually.  35 glorious glorious days of Sprummer.  Sprummer is that uncomfortable hop between spring and summer, you know, that weather around the May long weekend that can be glorious, with snowy bits.  But they've been glorious.  Here's what the last 35 days have held for me: -14 km barefoot run.  It was sensational

Welcome to my site.  I say my site, but its just where I hang out all day.  It's in a local municipality and legally its the Contractor's site (they're Prime contractor, responsible for all the work etc...) I work the the design company to make sure our owner gets what we drew, basically.  These jobs are bid as a lump sum cost.  The price is the price, there are no changes,

Day 2 of Ultimate practice last night.  Needless to say the wind was a bit difficult, but we learned the CUP defense for Ultimate - which I kind of enjoyed.  The offense part of that the zone system was a bit... difficult, so I could probably use a bit more practice. It's a neat process to learn a new sport - thats something you can kind of forget if you don't do it very

Seriously, I think its been a little over a week since my last post.  I apologize, life just seemed to get really hectic and sprialing faster this week than I could juggle - especially in the work career/area (long days, lots of fuck-ups, and a bunch of paperwork).  Here's the summary of the primal comings/goings of that week: 24 hour fast followed by an unhuman sized binge (shown

I apologize for the long title, it just seems to describe whats going on... Sort of.  There are two parts to this post: Dinner last night, and today's adventure.  First off, lets talk Deviled Eggs and how much I suck at making them.  Seriously, I boiled 6 eggs, but only 2 ended up in decent enough condition after peeling, cutting, and de-yolking...  AND to add insult to

Chandra and I promised ourselves that once my work expense check was deposited for mileage we'd purchase some Vibram Five Fingers.  This weekend we picked up a pair each. We walked into Mountain Equipment Co-op and promptly moved ourselves to the shoe department.  (We tried Fasttraxx, but they were closed, so we went elsewhere...)  Chandra and I asked the

Happy holidays!  I feel pretty safe saying that, since not everyone celebrates Easter (me included) but gets the weekend off.  Awesome.  There is nothing better than spending it with friends, or checking in on a good rock show.  And it was pretty good at that.  So I felt I'd use the opportunity of company get a little creative in the kitchen - as if I really need an

So Chandra is on spring break right now - she's doing the cooking this week.  Score!  Downside - work's been hella hectic.  Result - I havn't been too active on this blog (sorry).    This is what she made tonight and I call it marinated salad, she calls it her "Italian Vegetable Medly" because it needed a nicer name.  It's pretty easy to make - just

I was asked to put up the recipe for this yesterday, so I figured I should get this up here.  The recipe is always kind of put together by smell when I make it but I'll list some quantities that feel right.  You might need to calibrate the spices a bit to get the right smell for you.  Save on foods has McCormick Garam Masala that smells right - you can also make your own (

This was a lunch a little while back - just havn't gotten around to posting it.  These kinds of meals are my favorite because they're so quick to make.  I usually make my dressings 3 parts oil to 1 or 2 parts sour (Depending on your preference) Jumbo Tiger Shrimp Salad with Coconut lime dressing:Spinach & Iceberg LettuceSome Sauteed Shrimp (or cooked from deli if you prefer)

So, I wanted to get into rugby this year.  There is nothing more blood pumping than having the ball and crashing full tilt into the unexpected backs, mauling, rucking, breaking through the pack, holding that ball, or sprinting down the field to beat everyone else to the ball.  Except for maybe the price...  The registration for a season is $400 and a minimum fundraising

First things first, I have to say, the Paleo diet wasn't really my idea.  Not. At. All.  I probably would have continued pounding pavement and pushing weights, going through the cycles of weightloss success, injury, regression, retraining until well, forever.  We didn't eat "unhealthy", and I could maintain myself at a fairly reasonable bodyweight by training (both weights,

This was dinner on Monday night (for the record, I'm trying to prep a couple days in advance, so there is a bit of lag, it just helps me keep on top of my schedule, plus I'm not precisely the most well spoken individual so some of these take me some time.)The chicken recipe is from a book called "The big cook" and is for bulk meal preparation (This can be scaled up to like 16 servings, frozen and

No seriously,  it's true.  The thought of a day without yogurt is like a day without breathing.  Okay, maybe not that bad, but it would be really out of order.  My history with Yogurt Since, well, for as long as I can remember Chandra and I have gone through about 1 - 1.5 kg of yogurt on average each week.  Thats 2-3 tubs.  It's a staple in our household.  It

It looks pretty stellar, and it was.  The only issue was the turkey was a titch tough.  Next time it should probably be cooked on low heat in the oven first for about an hour and a half (Say 300 F) to help out a bit.    You could also try boiling the turkey legs like you would with ribs prior to placing on the grill - that would also be

For the record, this was probably the first red meat I've eaten in, oh say, 2 years.  Red meat + my kidneys don't always get along, so I have avoided it for the most part.  This was organic ground beef (From a farm near Rocky Mountain House) that I bought in Save on foods.  It was expensive so I made 3 meals out of it.  This was one.  The Meat: 1 lb of organic
