An Interview with David Kirsch
One thing I’m trying to get better at: interviewing others. I get press requests to interview various personalities on a regular basis, but either a) chicken out for fear of potential awkwardness, or 2) it’s something I decide I want to go for, and realize it’s a day that I’m at work teaching.

I never, ever would have thought to do this. Looks like regular salmon, right? Nope, it’s coated in a mix of dried lavender and honey. Best surprising combo I’ve had in a looooooong time. Since my uncle the cheffer has been staying with us, we talk food pretty often. He’s given me some great tips…

It just started raining, thundering and lightningโฆ not bad weather to write a blog post (take a nap, watch a movie, drink hot tea.. or all of the above). (I tried to get a good picture of the raindrops, but instead all you can really see is our play set that should be condemned) Before…

-A killer interval workout with Meggie We went for a little run, did some BodyRock-esque intervals (50 seconds on, 10 seconds rest) of single leg jump squat,, jump forward and back burpees, core domination, side lunges, repeat 3 times, and then some upper arm strength training. The end. -Hopefully today will be my last day…
