Greetings!

 

Well, it's official, I am going to move to Hawaii as soon as Malia goes to college! I am in love with the surfing, beach-bum life. I think I can handle it, forever. Don't worry, that's in 8 years, and I will still have an office there =)

 

Below is a video I filmed of a sunset on the North Shore of Oahu, which is where I want to live.

How to Look Like an Athlete 

 

If you're an athlete, then you already look like one - and if you're not an athlete, but want to look like one, then you better start training like one.

 

Okay, that's pretty simple, right? Nope. 

 

What's complicated here is figuring out exactly what an athlete looks like and if it's even the desired look you're going for.

Most people seem to think that athletes have the best bodies, but a photo shoot and book of various Olympic-level athletes and weight lifters by Howard Schatz and Beverly Ornstein titled "The Athlete", has shown us that not all athletes look like "athletes" and some of them can look downright out of shape and couch potato-ish, even though they are the best in their sport.

 

So what's the point of this info? To let you know that you could be wasting precious time and efforts on a workout routine that is giving you a body you won't even like!

 

Now the question becomes, "do I want to look good, or perform well, at X?" These two results are not often related especially if your X is an endurance event.

RECIPE OF THE MONTH

 

Homemade  Corn Tortillas
 
I remember watching a friend of mine who was from Mexico making homemade tortillas and being amazed at how easy the process was. Now after finally buying a tortilla press and making our own at home, those days of buying tortillas in a plastic bag, are long gone.
 
 Tortillas
  Ingredients
  • 2 cups masa harina (corn meal is not the same thing) - we use bob's red mill - can be found at whole foods
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt
  • 1 1/2 cups hot water
Instructions  
  • Mix the masa and the salt together. 
  • Stir in the hot water. Using your hands blend all of the ingredients together well. The dough should be firm and springy.
  • Cover the dough for an hour with plastic wrap
  • Form 2" balls of dough and place between two pieces of wax or parchment paper. Or you can use a plastic bag (the bags you put your produce in from the grocery store). Trim it close to the size of your press.

  • Press the dough (we bought our press from bed bath and beyond since we wanted a cast iron one but have seen it at williams sonoma, sur la table or local grocerias).

  • Cook the tortillas on medium high heat in a skillet or griddle for a couple minutes on each side.
