Reflections on 2010; Looking Forward

Things accomplished in 2010:

1. I'm a Daddy! Life as I once knew it is GONE. It's amazing.

2. I learned to love running.3. I caught my first redfish.

4. Went full Paleo for a bit.
5. Successfully fought off the sympathy weight, and am continuing to lose.

I had an amazing year. I know a few others out there who did too. I hope the prosperity continues, and there is only more adventures to get into.

Happy New Year

Where’s The Butter?

Where’s The Butter?

I had a conversation with an individual on this very topic. He worked in a restaurant, but still gets confused between the difference in Butter and Margarine. WTF?

“Excuse me,” I asked him politely, “but do you have any butter butter? Real butter, I mean, not margarine?” His momentarily confused expression quickly passed, and then he promised to go ask his manager.

Five minutes later, the manager came out and asked me what I wanted. I reiterated that I simply wanted some butter. I wasn’t trying to be a pain, but surely the restaurant had real butter somewhere back in the kitchen.

Five minutes later, he returned. “We don’t have any butter,” he said.

Link Love--Awesome Post.

I just wanted to share a really great post that summarizes a lot of the things I have been trying to incorporate into my life as of late. I am trying to make the switch to improvement versus hitting the numbers. I want to be the best I can be, and I set my goals according to self improvement.

Great post from an awesome blog. I love Roller Derby girls anyway, but a crossfitting paleo derby girl? I'm down.

Sprained Ankle Again

Well I suppose it was only a matter of time.

I sprained my ankle again during my warm-up. I hate working out when it's cold. I guess my ankle did too. This blows.

Warm Soup for a Cold Evening

Irish Potato and Leek Soup with Thinly sliced Pork Chops in Strongbow Gravy.

I know potatoes are in the nether-regions of the paleo world, but it's chilly here in NE Florida, and there is something special about home made slow-cooked soup to warm your bones. The aroma of leeks cooking down in butter and mirepoix filled my house with happiness and anticipation. The addition of home cooked chicken stock added that little feeling of a hug you get from grandma, and the anticipation is worth the work. I took my time with this, and I can't be happier with the results. I was lucky enough to find 3 BIG leeks and organic potatoes. I didn't plan on making this soup until I had the ingredients in my cart. I can say, this was one of the best things I have ever cooked. It was the perfect day for a slow cooked, hearty bowl of comfort food, some drunken pork loin, and some cider for Team MamaDada.
