Unfitness is a lot like fitness; you really have to work at it. With fitness, you struggle and pant and sweat for weeks without losing weight or getting any faster and then suddenly, the next run you do doubles your stamina. You lift a few more weights and those weird veins pop out of your…

This is the world’s first look at the new Superman as portrayed by Henry Cavill in the 2013 release of Zack Snyder’s Superman: Man of Steel. I made it last week. And in what seemed like a record…

My plate revisited. Plus a funny take on it here.

It’s not strict paleo but what you’re looking at is the finest homemade guacamole and corn “chips” ever! We made them by cooking plain ol’ corn tortillas (corn and water) in bacon fat for a minute. Who needs Canada’s Low Erucic Acid Rapeseed (aka CANOLA oil) when bacon fat does the trick so well and without being an oxidizing, Omega-6 disaster. I think Michael Pollan would be proud.

1) Stretching will help prevent injuries.

First trip to McDonald’s in 2011 this morning. My small coffee was served with TEN PACKS of sugar.

This upset me on a number of levels, as I just don’t deal well with stupidity, but my breakfast wasn’t completely ruined till I overheard the manager, in the dining area, complaining that someone had shit all over the wall in the men’s room!

Real egg yolks are orange, not yellow.

…and it will be called Diabetes mellitus type 2.

Things needed to survive and I may add, thrive.

Someone’s taking a coffee break.

I can’t tell if this is a celebration or a lament.

Yup, those are coffee mugs. 

In your face coffee.

Chemex: A terrible name for a lovely, clean cup.
