Was apparently the highlight of Guy's Night on Friday.
Seriously.
Plunging didn't work...
The hilarity continues...
So, Roto-Rooter to the Rescue.
Thankfully, the clog was underground somewhere and all was resolved by late evening.
Mr. Brown Sleeves couldn't resist and indulged in the brewskies with Lake Mill, Trainer Tim, and the late night crew.
As soon as he was off the clock, the jumpsuit peeled right off, and there you have it.
Other than that, we haven't heard many stories, so weigh in, gentlemen!
They did FEAST WELL from Husband Rich's report-
Jumpin' Joe's chicken curry with cauliflower rice-
RAVE reviews.
(Recipe share, Joe?)
Josh's homemade salsiccia- unbelievable, I heard.
Marketti's marinated flank steak-also devoured.
Some hearty burgers disappeared as well.
Brandon made this brussel sprout dish with onions, granny smith apples and bacon.
I heard about its deliciousness Saturday morning...
Saturday afternoon....
Saturday evening....
Sunday morning...
Sunday afternoon...
Sunday evening...
AND I FINALLY EMAILED BRANDON FOR THE RECIPE!
He found it on the CF Journal and modified a little bit- here's what he did:
1# of Brussel Sprouts
2-3 strips of bacon (can increase if you want)
1 medium sized white onion
1-2 granny smith apples
1. Cut bacon into small pieces and toss in the 12" skillet. High to
Medium heat (80%)
2. While the bacon is cooking chop up brussel sprouts into quarters or
halves. (FYI - Halves take longer to cook but I like it better that
way)
3. Once bacon is about 75% done, toss in the sprouts. Medium to High heat (75%)
4. While the bacon and sprouts are going (stir often to prevent
burning), dice up the onion and apple (can leave the skin on)
5. Once the sprouts are starting to cook, push them to the side of the
skillet (don't remove) to make room for the onion and apples. Toss in
the onion and apples directly on to the skillet. Reduce heat if
necessary.
6. As the onions and apples start to cook down mix everything together
while it is cooking then cover with a lid for about 5-10 mins.
7. Watch everything so nothing burns, add coconut oil and reduce heat
if things start to burn.
What makes this so good is the apples and onion "jam" that starts to
form while it cooks.
K.D. brought these "valentiney" pickled eggs.
Not sure how they went over with everyone else, but...
Mr. Moustache is a fan!
Red dye may have impacted his nervous system...
MORE contributions!
Venison (deer) "found" by and made by Mullet. He said the only way he found to cook it without the gamey-ness was via a long slow cooking process. Was way, WAY tasty.
(This might have been the feast of all feasts so far in the history of CFKW)
Had a full house- 15 in class plus a few more stopped by post-workout to hang with the men folk.
Rich settled on "Santora," a newer CF Hero WOD, which is:
3 rounds
5 minutes of work (1 minute each movement) followed by 1 minute of rest
155lb squat cleans
20 foot shuttle sprints, run forward then run backwards (there and back = 1 rep)
245lb deadlift
Burpees
155lb push jerks
No footage of the actual workout since the husband was participating, but here is James Hobart, HQ trainer and Games athlete, giving it a go this past fall:
NY Times: "Phys Ed. Brains and Brawn"
Ridiculous. :) "CrossFit and You Know It".
KT Legs emailed that this recipe is a major score!
Everyday Paleo- Warm Spinach and Sweet Potato Salad
CAN YOU STAND IT?!!
I must hold this Baby Peter.
What a sweet potato.
Maria and fam were most appreciative of the gift cards and gifts from her fellow CrossFit Kirkwoodians! She said she hopes to bring Peter by the gym soon.
Can't wait!!
