my $.02: Packing Lunch
http://mikewest.blogspot.com/2015/02/packing-lunch.html
Musings of mike west. ellicott city, md. Saturday, February 07, 2015. Salad (with 2 kinds of cheese and only creamy dressings). Brownies (sugar, dairy, grains). The only Whole30 item on the table was a container of chopped onion for the sandwiches. I made due with a bag of almonds I brought and picked some plane veggies from the salad. Fortunately, we've been cooking a variety of tasty meals at home, so when I'm in the office, I can take tasty lunches like this:. A lime to spruce up my glass of water.

my $.02: Homemade Bars
http://mikewest.blogspot.com/2015/02/homemade-bars.html
Musings of mike west. ellicott city, md. Friday, February 13, 2015. Continuing on the path of less-inconvenient foods (eating well takes more time and planning than eating junk), I decided to make some bars. My inspiration came from cragmama. S homemade Lara Bar post. I (and my food processor) learned the hard way that dates have seeds - big, unchewable, un- processable seeds. But once I figured out, I was able to make my first 2 batches, and the initial taste testers are all giving thumbs up.

my $.02: A Simple One
http://mikewest.blogspot.com/2015/02/a-simple-one.html
Musings of mike west. ellicott city, md. Sunday, February 08, 2015. Sautéed veggies of your choice (onions, garlic, mushrooms used here). Salsa or pico de galo. With 5 minutes of prep and 15 minutes of cooking (in a toaster oven) this is one of my favorite meals. I eat 2 of them and reheat the others later (for breakfast or lunch). Oil the muffin tin with avocado oil. Scramble the eggs and divide evenly among into the muffin tin. Add the veggies when done. Bake on 350F for 15 minutes in the toaster oven.

my $.02: more salt!
http://mikewest.blogspot.com/2015/01/more-salt.html
Musings of mike west. ellicott city, md. Friday, January 30, 2015. Steak, potato, mushrooms and SALT. I had some dizziness on the 10th night; the whole30 wisdom on the inter webs points at 'carb flu' or lack of carbs and electrolytes. So the potato got a couple extra spindles of salt tonight.

my $.02: I'm eating a ton!

Musings of mike west. ellicott city, md. Friday, January 30, 2015. I'm eating a ton! First not enjoyable meal was a slow cooker cheater pork stew. I woke up Weds morning with a headache, possibly from dehydration. I don't think I drank enough water yesterday between my cross-training and MTB ride. Snack before riding-almonds, dried cherries. Lunch-leftover butternut squash lasagna, salad. Dinner-sweet potato, hardboiled egg. Breakfast-3 scrambled eggs, sweet potato, smoothie. Dinner-more steak, mushrooms...

Musings of mike west. ellicott city, md. Thursday, September 24, 2009. Thanks to Kevin D. For the nice picture. Only problem is, I shouldn't be all alone like that in a cross race. We'll work on that this weekend. Chris and the C3 guys did another great job this year. 600 racers and plenty of spectators. Add in some tasty pit bbq and Clipper City brews on tap and you have the makings of a great day. If you want to get an insiders view of the race, check out this video. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

my $.02: April 2013
http://mikewest.blogspot.com/2013_04_01_archive.html
Musings of mike west. ellicott city, md. Sunday, April 07, 2013. My son has had an interest in swords and metallurgy for a few years now. I've been looking for a class we could take together, but every guild I could find had a 16-or-older requirement. It makes sense of course - steal doesn't like to bend below 1500F or so. Happily, Dave Collier at Broken Hammer Forge. I hope we can make it back for an intermediate course next year. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Friends and so forth. The Hicks in the UK.
