RETIRED The LLama and VViles Thread <3 Doi!!!!!!!!!

Am I the only one cracking up thinking of chewy making possum stew?

Is this site a joke??

Went to hot yoga with TG1 for the last time before she moves to HI. Got home and gf wanted to go for a run. Three miles later I died. I am dead. The end.

forgot to mention that the gf & I went to hot yoga last night at 4 so I did two sessions inside 24 hours...

I guess everyone is watching the Oscar red carpet??

Dude - you're a monster. You deserve a break.

It's funny- running to me is very solitary. I just want to put music on and run and listen and zone out.

Oh, just so you don't think I only grouse at bad weather days.

Today was friggin' gorgeous outside, sunny and temp in the low 60s.
I sat outside for about an hour and got some sun on my face.
Of course, it's supposed to rain again on Tuesday . . .

I gotta run an 8k with her in 2 weeks!

Me too, usually. But I feel like if I'm running with someone I should talk to them, you know? Anyway this was our first run together. It went pretty well but I wish I hadn't done so much yoga. On the positive side, I feel awesome and my postures were really good today!

It was nice here today too. And gonna rain again soon too.

I found a can of rhubarb preserves in the basement- there may be a couple more left down there. It's like apple butter, which I'm not wild about -- it's good, but I'm not gonna eat it like jam. I was thinking of using it in a vegan muffin or bread

I'm stuffed! Two pork chops cut up and mixed with grilled onions and homemade kraut stuff in to tortillas and inhaled.




Now that I see these I just might have to see what's living in the burn pit.










I would watch it if there was a guarantee there would be some side boob and a nip slip . . . particularly from Christina Hendricks.

Oh that's sounds like a tasty idea!



I could totally vote for Ben Carson for president. In my perfect world, Obama would be allowed to run for a 3rd term, and he'd battle out the office with Ben Carson. It would truly be the ultimate test of how stupid America is now.

How did you make the kraut?

Yeah? Not a hell of a lot to go by online. I was just gonna sub it for applesauce in a recipe, pretty much. Maybe a little more sugar. This is kinda tangy.

Who is Ben Carson

1 head of cabbage

chop it up

put it in a crock

mash it until all of the of liquid is out of the cabbage using a wooden stick thingy
at this point, the liquid should be almost to the top of cabbage. if it isn't, add water, and then salt it (trial and error to preference)

Then we use a plastic bowl to put over the opening of the crock and place a half full glass of water to weight the bowl down. This allows the kraut to vent if it needs to as it ferments.

Let it ferment at room temp for 10 to 14 days, and you've got great kraut with all of the good probiotics in it and not just filler crap like you find in the store. We also shred a carrot and throw it in.



I'd say just sub it like you would applesauce. It may not have the consistency you want the first time, but I'm sure it will taste great.



Great speech that I know you'll like. [youtube.com]

And he is a pediatric neurosurgeon. He's traveled the world doing the most difficult surgeries for kids, and a lot of them are pro bono.

I've made raw fermented kraut but never cooked. Can't beat those healthy little buggers for your gut!!!

I figured I can add some nut milk for consistency if if is too thick?


Hmmm I will check that out later,

Chewy how many crimes are commited with legal vs illegal guns? Why does everyone seem to think more laws will fix gun violence?

Do they do 30 day challenges at your yoga studio? Once the weather breaks I may sign up for one. I guess instead of 90/90 it's 30/30 yoga style

How's your diet?

Is that about 5 miles? You shouldn't have any big problem with that.

Yep, just a hair over 5 I think. I don't run outside though so I'm a little worried about that. But with two weeks to buckle down and train I will hit the treadmill instead of the elliptical on nasty days and run a trail near my house on nice ones. I'm pretty sure I can hack it - I do 3+ miles on the elliptical (hard) and another fast mile on the treadmill regularly, and the other day I ripped off 3.5 miles on the treadmill after one mile on the elliptical and it wasn't too bad. Plus the gf runs slow but sometimes I think that's worse than running fast...

Anyway it's all to the good. I got a nice taste of spring today and I'm ready for it to get here NAOW! I wanna play tennis, go hiking, run outside... we get such a short window before it turns miserably hot & humid here... oh and there's my garden to set up too...

Damn. I'd better start planning!

They haven't offered one yet. That studio is getting busy. The last three times I've gone every spot is taken and they had to turn people away. You have to go about 30 minutes early if you want two spots together or don't want to be directly under a heat vent.

I can't imagine 30 straight days of that. Not if I was trying to do other stuff too (like my boxing class or regular workouts).

Diet has not been great lately but I've been so active I think I'm scraping by without actually gaining any weight. My pants are still fitting more loosely and I bought two MEDIUM workout shirts last night off the clearance rack at Target ($5 each for Champion polyester dri-fit). Ran in one today and it did NOT scrape my nipples raw! And it wasn't crazy tight either (the gf said it looked good too). I haven't worn medium shirts since... um... junior high?
