Mid-Training Snacks for Paleo Endurance Athletes

Have you got two intense workouts that are not far enough apart to be considered a two-a-day, but not close together enough to be a brick? That's exactly the situation I found myself in this morning.  I'd swam 5k, then had an hour and a half before my century training ride.  I opted for a […]

Teaching Kids To Cook

Last Wednsday's NY TImes had a great piece on Chef Charlie Trotter's 'Excellence Program", in which for three nights per week, fifty weeks per year, he treats youths from disadvantaged backgrounds to an 'elaborate tasting menu, tour of his restaurant and a succession of inspirational speakers'.
