Life After Birth

Wow, what a busy four weeks it's been!

Our son, Maxwell Le Harelson was born on Saturday April 5, 2014.  Neither my wife nor I had any idea what to expect.  Our combined baby experience involved nervously holding someone else's infant for a few seconds once or twice in our lives.  Neither of us had seen an a real diaper in person, let alone changed one!

Pickled feet: 6 hours of . . . fun?

"Why are you running in circles?"
"You PAID for this!"
"Ferry to crazy town leaves in 5 minutes"

These were just a few of the signs posted on the 2.5 mile loop that people signed up to run for 6, 12, 24, or 48 hours.

Easy steak/yam/kale dinner

Sometimes, you just want a steak! 

Tonight we decided to keep dinner simple. This is one our go-to meals when we want something delicious that doesn't take much effort to make. 

Steak, seasoned with MFT Bittick's rub and seared for 5 minutes each side in the cast iron skillet. A yam, coated in olive oil and baked for an hour at 350F (add butter or olive oil to taste). 1 1/2 heads of kale sautéed in the wok with olive oil, garlic, and lemon juice.
