I think the post-workout shower is one of the finer things in life. <3

Arguably, the post-sex shower is better...well, in a different way.

There is absolutely no argument there.

That made me laugh way more than it probably should have.

Ever wondered what "enriched" cereal means and where that iron comes from? Metal filings! Mmm...

[Shervz0r]

That's pretty cool Ashane, good find! Still, if it helps to increase the amount of iron that can be metabolized by a person AND it is clearly stated (heh, "enriched") then is it that bad? I wonder if there have been any accounts of health problems arising from eating iron-enriched foods. Else, maybe one day we'll see this happen in real life

Combine that with a shower beer and you're really on to something. I workout at 5:30 in the morning and shower at the gym though, so I may have a problem. With haters.

I've daydreamed about opening urban food co-ops that provide real food as cheaply as possible and use volunteer labor which gets reimbursed by food. I don't think it would work unless I was a millionaire and could sink the costs into making it work.

My roommate actually does this with a friend in the city; there's a couple of farms that offer this sort of thing that come out to that farmer's market under 83 near Sonar (the parking lot, basically). It's a lot of food for one person/family, which is why he split it up, but basically you pay like $160 for...6-8 months I think of fresh produce/meats, depending on which one you sign up with. Some let you pick, but most just deliver a huge batch of veggies/fruits/whatever depending on what's in season. It's been cool because you'll often get stuff you don't normally use in meals, so you get to branch out on cooking.

We are participating in both a meat and a vegetable CSA. There's a community farm in my town and we pay $60 a month for vegetables and $40 for 5 pounds of meat per month. All organic and locally produced. Shit is a-maz-ing. The meat we got is so completely out of control that it has spoiled me on store bought meat*. Relatively cost effective too, as I easily spend $50+ a week of vegetables that come from who the fuck knows where. We only get 4-5 items of veggies a week, but still. Planned right that goes a long way.

Oooh, very nice dude! Have you been to Russo's in Watertown? It's right off of River St I think, phenomenal produce and mega cheap. I came home with a fresh coconut, brussel sprouts, peppers, green beans, lettuce and a whole ton of other veggies and shit and it was damn cheap (I forget how much exactly ).

Still, I love the idea of CSAs, I'm just not willing to commit to one yet

I like music that matches my pace. Something like this is perfect. My steps are right on the quarter-notes, and that a good portion of it is in 3/4 (or is it 6/8?) matches my breathing tempo of in for 3 steps, out for 3 steps:

I love Russo's - I go there every week for my produce. Honestly in my quest for the best quality at the lowest price, I go to 4 grocery stores every week. Russo's, Whole Foods, Trader Joe's, BJ's. It's kind of ridiculous, but I can get everything to feed 4 people for 150-200 a week.

What farm are you getting your CSA from? I've done a few in the past, but there are tons in the area so I always like to hear about new ones.

[DoctorShumway]

This spot: Waltham Fields runs both. Not only do they provide CSA for sustainable yuppies like me, a portion of their food and funds go to local homeless organizations.

Last night I had pork chops with two sides I made from CSA veggies: baked turnip and kohlrabi, lightly dusted with nutritional yeast instead of parm, and spinach and kale that was sauteed with some olive oil and garlic scapes. So, so, so, good.

Three straight works of solid workout at least three times per week. My Battles t-shirt fits again. I feel awesome. The physical embodiment of this song.
