homebrewing
V and I have been doing rather a lot of homebrewing. I've hardly written about it at all, with the exception of a short post about brewing the Backwards Porter. I am going to make an attempt, now, to write about something that is not related to BJJ! (An aside: I find it amusing that my journal usually reflects so directly upon my current ( Read more... ) -
favorite lifts
I am neither a top fitness bloggers nor a strength coach (yet) but hell, I haven't been writing here at all and thinking about this half-inspired me to post. So, my three favorite (not necessarily most effective) exercises:

eating well
Tightening up my nutrition has had me eating well the past week.

Mango Chicken Salad
The concoction I created for dinner last night was yummy. I was already thinking about chicken salad when I went grocery shopping in the late afternoon. V had mentioned that he was in the mood for something with fruit, such as mandarin oranges. I thought I could make some sort of chicken salad, serve it over greens with the mandarin orange ( Read more... ) -
