Paris Blog: Friday night date night…at the restaurant supply store

While many couples may go out on the town on Friday night in Paris (or anywhere else for that matter), we’ve gone and created a bit of a twist on the traditional Friday night date night. In our case, we … Read More Here →

More trainers, a touch of snow, and a new bike

It’s been just over five months since we moved to Paris, and thus, it’s been just over five months since The Girl last rode her bike. Due to a issue with the frame near the rear derailleur hanger attachment point … Read More Here →

Paris Blog: Going to the farm and picking fresh produce!

One of the things we both really enjoy doing is going to u-pick farms and picking our own fruits and vegetables. In the past, we’ve primarily picked apples, blueberries, and strawberries. Given it’s fall (crazy, huh?), we figured it was … Read More Here →

A long ride from Paris

This weekend I was back in Paris, following up on a trip from a few weeks ago with a pile more meetings on Thursday/Friday. Given the opportunity to tie it into the weekend, I figured I’d forgo traditional American BBQ … Read More Here →

Spending time in Boston and Washington–without leaving Virginia

Within the US there exists boatloads of cities that have identical names to those of other far more prominent cities in far away lane. For example: Florence, SC (have spent a fair bit of time there in fact). Or Paris, … Read More Here →

New products, cold runs…and homemade cheese balls!

After getting back from Vegas on (yet another) redeye and going straight to work, I was exhausted come Thursday evening and Friday. Which might explain why I managed now almost three straight days of falling asleep early, and sleeping really … Read More Here →

A Packed Labor Day Weekend

This weekend was pretty packed with goodness. From flights to near-20 milers (running) to a full house sit-down dinner. Let the games begin! On Friday evening we flew up to Connecticut for a Saturday wedding – this would be the … Read More Here →

A bit of Washington DC flavor in my weekend

The weekend started off with a Friday evening swim at the outdoor pool, which is one of my favorite summer activities. I just love being able to swim outdoors, especially in the evening when it’s quieter. Regrettably, there’s only a … Read More Here →

A weekend back home training in the heat and rain

This is the first weekend I’ve spent at home since June 25th, and I took full advantage of all the things that I normally do around the area on a weekend. That started Friday night with a swim at the … Read More Here →

Friday Tidbits (lots of them!)

All sorts of things moving and shaking around here, most of which will bubble up to the surface in the next few weeks. In the meantime, here’s a few random notables for the week thus far. What my iPhone history … Read More Here →

How to travel (a lot) and still eat (mostly) healthy

I’ve talked in the past a bit about nutrition and how I balance my desire to eat everything that looks great with attempting to be healthy in my choices. Yet how does that jive with all the travel I do … Read More Here →

Back to DC…and time to cook a grand dinner!

But…before we cook, we must take care of business. And takin’ care of business means a new rolling pin. Why a rolling pin you ask? Well, frequent folks to my product reviews know that I often use the rolling pin … Read More Here →

A moving bit of Seoul Food

I arrived into Seoul in a general state of confusion. Usually I have a much better handle on travel logistics for cities I’m arriving in, but somehow things got busy and I didn’t quite have the time to ensure I … Read More Here →

Steaks, Ducks and Planks

Now that I’m home for a short bit, I’ve been enjoying kicking off the weekend with a bit of cooking – just like last weekend. After consulting with The Girl, I checked in and see what she wanted. Turned out … Read More Here →

Finally…a weekend at home: Pumpkins and Training

After more weeks of travel than I can realistically count, I landed into Washington National Airport late Thursday night, and finally got a complete and full weekend at home. Woohoo! And there’s no better way to kick-off a Friday night … Read More Here →

Man Overboard

This weekend was jam packed with stuff, up until this evening it was pretty much go-go-go! Well, except a very long aquatic journey. But we’ll get to that in a second… First up was Friday evening. The Girl was busy … Read More Here →

How I attempt to balance nutrition and sport

Before I get into the fun part – let me explain upfront that I’m not a nutritionist, I don’t play one on TV and I didn’t stay at a Holiday Inn last night. So, anything I note below is simply … Read More Here →

I want my free cookie back

(Note: Sometimes you dig deep into the things I haven’t yet posted jar…just like you dig deep into the cookie jar.) I like cookies. Quite a bit in fact. Today alone I ate a whole bunch of cookies as part … Read More Here →

Duck…Duck…FIRE!

When you cook a fair bit, there tends to be occasional mishaps. Some are minor, like forgetting to put in an ingredient, and some are more…umm..catastrophic…like nearly melting your BBQ and burning down your house. This is the tale of … Read More Here →

2-Mile Swim Race & a bunch of other stuff

Saturday brought a whole bunch of tiresome activities. First, there was the waking up early thing. That in and of itself is tiring. 7:30AM? On a Saturday? It’s almost as if we’re training for an event or something. Need to … Read More Here →

Swimming in the big boy (and girl) pool

During my day to day training antics, I normally swim in a simple 25 yard pool. While the pool itself is actually a 50 meter full size pool, it’s divided up into some 14+ lanes, each 25 yards across. So … Read More Here →

Sous Vide Awesomeness

You may remember a fair while back I started a little project to build my own sous vide machine – more properly known as an Immersion Circulator. As I mentioned then, using an Immersion Circulator isn’t something particularly new, it’s … Read More Here →
