Here is a tasty dish that was made completely free of electricity.

Rosemary Grilled Chicken
Grilled Pork Tenderloin
Mixed Greens Salad
Grilled Asparagus
Grilled Red Pepper

This past weekend, while my parents were visiting from Atlanta, I was fortunate enough to experience a little of Murphy’s Law. Saturday evening, while getting ready to prepare dinner, the power in my apartment went out. Not too big of a deal, I just moved the ingredients outside, where there was more light, prepared the items and placed them on the grill to cook. About 8 minutes into the process when I went to check on the grilled items, I realized the propane had ran out. No big deal, a propane refill will only take a minute. Unfortunately the gate to my apartment complex was not operating due to the power being out. After a 10 minute wait the maintenance guy came and disassembled part of the gate. By the time I got back and finished cooking the meat it was so dark in my apartment that had to move my table outside so that we could have enough light to eat. Sure we could have just given up right away and gone out to eat, but we didn’t. The moral of the story? 1.) Healthy eating takes a little bit of work, but is well worth it. 2.) If you live in a 4,000 sq/ft home in Contra Costa County, stop running your AC 24/7 when it gets really hot… you’re causing my power to go out!

Saturday’s WOD:

I’ll list it on tomorrow’s post…. but just imagine what it would feel like to carry a 2 year old child for a mile, then try to change the toner in your laser printer while an anger badger nips at your feet, and your head feels like Blue Bomber when he malfunctions and Red Rocker gets a 46 punch combo, uncontested.
