Whether it’s putting the milage in the saddle of a mountain bike or putting in the time at the gym, making it a consistent routine is just as important to reap results. Amid all the workout routines I…

The Secret to Cast Iron Cookware
Nothing sears food like a cast-iron skillet, and if cared for properly, it can become the workhorse of any kitchen that will rival any non-stick fry pan. It is the one kitchen tool that most chefs swear by, but in the common household kitchen it seems to mystify most home cooks in these modern times. I blame DuPont for…
How to Travel With Kids – Rule #3
When traveling kids, especially with little ones (less than two years old), one parent can’t do everything, and both parents shouldn’t be trying to do the same things. For example, it is important that one parent is in charge of overall travel logistics. This eases the pressures of travel from the other parent that allows them…
How to Grill the Perfect New York Strip Steak
Nothing beats a good steak…well, maybe some things; like epic turns down a powder run, but a good steak is damn good and a good New York strip steak is up there in the pantheon of good steaks. Second only to the rib-eye, the New York strip steak has that perfect level of fat to…
Deliciously-Basted Beef Tenderloin Shish Kabobs
If you haven’t gotten in the habit of buying a whole beef tenderloin and butchering it yourself, I highly recommend it. It’s a very economical way of getting the most sought after cut of beef because the price per pound is far less than if you were to buy individual filets that have been prepared. You can also get several meals…
How to Travel With Kids – Rule #2
As you read these entries, you will find that many of these rules will piggy-back from the preceding rule and rule #2 is no exception. If you recall rule #1; start early and often, rule #2 is in the same spirit as rule #1, but it focuses more on adaptation. Adapting your kids to travel relies solely on you…

This last weekend, I volunteered as course marshal at one of the Arizona Interscholastic Cycling League events that took place here in Flagstaff, AZ. The event spanned Saturday and Sunday with race schedules that included middle school and high school riders from all over Arizona…

This last weekend was the 2019 UCI Mountain Biking World Championship in Mont-Saint-Anne and in the Cross-Country events, there were something that were not very surprising and some things that were. In the Elite Men’s category, Nino Schurter (SUI) takes the win making it his eighth World Championship title and keeper of the rainbow jersey for another year….
How to Travel With Kids – Rule #1
This is the first post in a series that discusses how to adapt your kids to travel and turn them into veteran travelers at an early age. My wife and I have been traveling with our son since he was one month old, and looking back at it now, it was the best thing we…
Charred Coleslaw
When you mention cabbage, most people think cole slaw. Cole slaw is great, but I sometimes feel that it’s limited. I agree that no two coleslaws are alike, but I feel that the range of choices comes down to two choices, either creamy or deli style (where deli style is more vinegar based). I’m not saying that one is necessarily…
