My latest cooking project is learning how to tend a sourdough starter…and…and a result, make sourdough bread. In the last couple of weeks, I’ve successfully made a few good loaves. And so I got the bright idea to make sourdough rounds for clam chowder! I must say…it was truly delish! The clam chowder is super easy.
Sigh… The Winter Olympics have come & gone. I certainly used up my yearly allotment of TV time watching amazing athletes do amazing things! One of the more stunning performances was the spectacular duel in Men’s 5000m Speed Skating. If you have 12 min, these two video clips are well worth your time. First watch

Take a watch of two swim videos of one of my triathlete swim clients. These videos were taken roughly 10 months apart. With dedicated technique practice & regular swim lessons, this athlete has made significant form & technique improvements in his freestyle: Balance Arm Recovery/Entry Underwater Catch Enjoy!
I love me a good chocolate chip cookie! And back in my younger days, Mrs. Field’s cookies were the gold standard. Years ago, a good friend of mine gave me what she claimed was Mrs. Field’s famous chocolate chip cookie recipe. I LOVE this recipe…and I have no reason to believe that it isn’t Mrs. Field’s!
