I’ve started using the Monkey Bar Gym’s portable Jungle Gym in my morning workout routine. It came with a beginner’s strength training circuit that I’ve been working through once a week. Feels good to have some guidance, but I still need to work out a plan for the rest of the week.

On the food front, I can’t complain. A few random notes on things:

• The buckwheat crepes are really good when their filled, then cooked in a dry pan until crisp
• No knead bread continues to rock my world
• Leftover pizza dough makes really tasty flatbread, especially when basted with olive oil and garlic
• Mark Bittman’s broiled three bean salad recipe from How to Cook Everything Vegetarian puts all other three bean salads to shame
• Tacos continue to be one of my ultimate comfort foods, next to pizza and reuben sandwiches (what is it about eating with my hands that I find so comforting?)

Walk

Three loops around the fields out back. ~1h20m of walking. Not sure on the mileage.

Consumed in bed while I worked. No picture could capture the sweet bliss of working and eating from bed.
