My Signature Dish - The Caveman Skillet

-
 If I have a signature dish that represents what Primal-Paleo-Ancestral-Traditional nutrition means to me it is my caveman skillet. It meets all my requirements; (some) carbs, fat, protein and vegetable.Simple(fast) to prepare, inexpensive and tasty.

  As a single pan dish you fry ground meat(beef, turkey, chicken, pork or lamb) in coconut oil then add in whatever veggies you have or desire. I usually use onions, celery,fresh baby spinach and mushrooms.The secret is broccoli slaw(shredded broccoli, cabbage and carrots)Added last to the stirfry it replaces traditional grain based pastas or noodles but still gives you a pasta/noodle feel to the dish.

 Stirfry together and use whatever spices you want. That is the nice thing about it....you can vary the taste by opting for different combinations of herbs, meats, vegetables and spices. If I use ground lamb then I use rosemary to season the dish. If I use ground turkey summer savory is the herb of choice.With ground beef I prefer oregano.  Make it a breakfast skillet by opting for crumpled bacon as a protein and drop a couple soft boiled or scrambled eggs over the top. Versatile and delicious!

2009 Halifax Criterium - Race Update

-
Image
Awake at 4:30AM I was at the venue real early so it gave me the chance to check out the course. The city had patched and paved the rough sections so it was in excellent shape. The weather had finally cooperated with a warm sunny day as well. It was shaping up to be a great racing day! I was adamant I would not volunteer this year but focus solely on the race. At the last hour,heeding the call,I said I would help sweep the course prior to the first race at 9AM. Somehow I ended up doing the whole loop myself and, thankfully, it was relatively debris free for the most part. I got back to registration around 9AM and placed my race numbers on my jersey. On the way to put the race number on my bike DM,in full racing kit, asked why I was not ready. Seems the Master B/C race started at 9:30AM.I was under the assumption it began at 10AM. Holy Hanna! KT got my bike number on the top tube while I geared up at a record pace. Not the way to prepare for a 40 minute plus two lap criteriu

Celesta - The Archer's Helmet

-

Finally got around to purchasing an archer specific helmet to add to my medieval kit. I prefer the bascinet which better fits the historical time frame of my gear but opted to purchase the celesta simply due to availability and price. Known as the archer's helmet it was a simpler variant of the sallet that was preva!ent in the15th century and used through out Europe. Archer's were typically the poor cousins of the medieval battlefield in terms of pay and armor but their lot had improved by the 1400's. By the 15th century veteran archers and crossbowmen often had basic armor usually a mix of gambesons, mailes, coats of plate, jacks, brigadines, helmets and some plate. It could be a mixed bag of protection either inherited, scrounged from the battlefield, purchased or granted by the Lord's armouries. It was always a matter of balance between protection and mobility. Archers and crossbowmen were expected to join in melees during a battle but also needed to be

Scythian Bow - Flagella Dei

-
Image
After several years of interest I finally decided to purchase a Scythian style of horse bow from Flagella Dei Archery based in Hungary.    Opted for a yew laminated bow #42@28 so it was a custom build but worth the wait. Feather light and simply beautiful. Build quality is great and pictures just do not give justice to the eye candy quality of the lamination, tip reinforcements and quality leather handle wrap. Shipping was fast from Europe and bow was professionally boxed with bubble wrap and a nice bow sack. Included was a certificate of authentication complete with the bowyer's signature and warranty information. Needless to say I was anxious to get it outside and loose some arrows. The rain held off on Saturday so it was a perfect opportunity to get out under the green. I just love this bow. Not only is it lightweight with precious little hand shock but is amazingly silent as well. I was using bamboo and wooden arrows but the bamboo arrows definitely suited the bow better over t
