type='text'>Run Fast. Eat Slow </title><content type='html'>I finally went out yesterday for a run. It wasn&amp;#39;t fast. it wasn&amp;#39;t glamorous. It wasn&amp;#39;t far. But I did it. I&amp;#39;m hoping that as spring approaches I&amp;#39;ll get back into a routine of going more and more.&lt;br&gt;

3. I wanted to share a few recipes with you from this cookbook, Run fast, Eat slow by Shalane Flanagann and Elyse Kopecky. A friend recommended the book and I ordered it, made one smoothy from it and promptly forgot about it. Last week, I was in Victoria for work..with a quick visit to see Daniele, Paul, Skylar (who despite me being scared of dogs, is so cute and the most gentle dog!!) and of course the latest addition- little Brielle.<br>

14. So anyway, Daniele had the cookbook as well. She actually does run fast and ran almost the whole time during her pregnancy. Yesterday we were chatting on the phone and she mentioned she was going to make these superhero muffins. Very appropriate name for superhero mom, baker, cleaner! Really, I called at 9am BC time and she was vacuuming.. who does that? :P<br>
15. <br>
16. I realized I had all the ingredients too. So we both made the muffins, and although we are over 4000 km apart, it almost makes me feel like we are baking together :) ! Here is the superhero muffins recipe and I'll be sharing more soon.<br>

31. These muffins are so moist and are quite healthy. I admit they look a little out there, but hey don't judge a book by it's cover. Stefan ate them right up. He just told me again how good they are.. and asked why they have chocolate in them because It doesn't go well (see note below about chocolate or raisins).<br>
32. <br>
33. I always laugh when cookbooks have recipes that "hide" vegetables.. like hmm.. these muffins wouldn't fool anyone. if your kid is a picky eater and you want to trick him/her into eating carrots and zucchini, these would NOT be for them. for everyone else, enjoy!!<br>

I signed up nearly a year ago when tickets were first released. I had been wanting to go for a few years, but with travel and accommodations, it would have been quite expensive. When I saw it was in Ottawa, I jumped at the chance.&lt;br /&gt;
39. <br />
40. I had been travelling out East to Nova Scotia and Newfoundland for work all week. I got home late Friday afternoon, dropped my luggage at home and headed straight to the conference. I got there just in time to admire the view from the penthouse level (Caesar in hand no less!)<br />

45. What ensued was a fun-filled weekend, with delicious food, great sessions, and inspiring people. It was truly an experience to have so much beautiful, well presented food and be surrounded by like-minded people who are all snapping photos and posting on instagram/snapchat/facebook/twitter..<br />
46. <br />
47. It took me a few weeks after the conference to go through all the business cards of the people I met and check out everyone's blogs, but I now have so many new blogs to follow. I'll share some of my favourites in a separate post.<br />
48. <br />
49. Here are a few highlights of the weekend:<br />

82. 5. My anniversary surprise.. fine this one wasn't part of the conference, but it was definitely a highlight of my weekend so I couldn't leave it out. Saturday was a year and half anniversary with Stefan (fine I guess that makes it more a month-aversary, but a significant one non-the-less). I had warned Stefan that I would be gone from 8 am till 10pm (sorry babe) but he was so sweet and made me a scavenger hunt with balloons and photos and messages..so sweet and thoughtful!<br />

91. A peck of pickled peppers Peter Piper picked;<br />
92. If Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers,<br />
93. Where's the peck of pickled peppers Peter Piper picked?<br />
94. <br />
95. Does this tongue twister ring a bell? I couldn't help but think of it, while pickling the peppers..I mean chillis..with Stefan on the weekend. We got everything ready to pickle and then realized we didn't have enough vinegar. So we decided to go play squash.. then buy some more vinegar and then get to work. It was a fun little project for a rainy day.<br />
96. <br />
97. We borrowed this canning pot from Stefan's parents (on the right in the photo below), although if you don't have one, you can just use a regular pot and sterilized tongues.<br />

101. <br />
102. The pot has a rack inside so you can take the sterilized jars out without touching them.<br />
103. <br />
104. We loosely followed <a href="http://www.theroastedroot.net/make-pickled-peppers/">this recipe from the Roasted Root</a>. Basically, you cut up the chillis, prep onion and garlic, fry to soften them up a bit. Then you sterilize the jars and make your vinegar mixture. You put the chilis in the jars, fill with the vinegar mixture and let cool. Its important to close the jars most of the way and then let cool so that they seal, and then tighten the jars.<br />

117. These would make great gifts. I made chalk labels that say "Spice up Your Life". They are really spicy! Too spicy for me right now, but maybe after some time they will be more tolerable ;) Maybe next time we will try roasted red peppers.<br />

Did you know, we have the exact same birthday? Same day and year. We are maybe two hours apart. When we first met and found that out, we calculated the chances and it was something like 1 in 6000. Pretty crazy right? I don&#39;t know if I believe much in horoscopes and astrology but we do have similar personality traits and I wonder if it&#39;s the birthday.&amp;nbsp; We have teachers in both our families, family in Austria and Poland (so nearby) and both went to French school. For a couple years after university,&amp;nbsp; I lived with Keldi in a house diagonally behind Stefan&#39;s family home. We had a few friends in common, but never met. I&#39;m surprised our paths hadn&#39;t crossed sooner, but glad that they finally did :)&lt;br /&gt;

128. We have both taken an interest in photography in the last few years. Stefan is really talented. We woke up early yesterday and decided to go check out these <a href="https://www.ottawagatineaugeoheritage.ca/subsites/4">stromatolite</a> fossils over on the Quebec side of the Island Park bridge. I had been before, but forgotten how beautiful it is there.<br />

139. Anyway, back to the birthday and the chilis. I had seen a chilli plant in the market and went back early one morning with Daniele to sneakily buy it, but the stand was closed. I could see the plant but it was fenced in..hmm what to do? Well luckily we found another booth that was open and had some other types of chillies and I decided to get a hot chilli plant and a Hungarian chilli plant.<br />
140. <br />
141. I always call them chilli peppers, but Stefan is advising me that it's wrong..they are not peppers, just chillies. He says it's a taxonomy error.. hmm.  Regardless of the name, Stefan really liked them, and it was a gift that kept on giving. Because we don't get much sun on our balcony and were heading off to Europe, we asked Stefan's parents if we could keep them in their garden. Stefan's mom is a wonderful gardener, and I'm not sure what she did, but the plants flourished and we got so many chillies! It was a lovely surprise to see about 40 of them on the plants.<br />

She was in Europe from Argentina, and I decided to make the trek across the pond to celebrate with her and our other bestie Manar, who came from London. It was so good for the soul :)&lt;br /&gt;

166. It might seem a bit extravagant, and it was a little, but I found a great price on the flight, which made it affordable. I was so lucky to get upgraded on the way there, as there was a couple that wanted to sit together, so they asked if I minded switching seats. who would mind being upgraded? Now that's love. Sitting with your wife back in economy class and forgoing the little luxuries of your ticketed seat. I'd like to think I would do the same but who knows. It was very nice to have the extra leg room and the food was much better. </div>

181. Paris was absolutely beautiful, and the weather was warm and sunny. We walked and walked and ate, and stopped at cafes, and hung around in parks, and did a bit of shopping, and even some wedding dress shopping (no, not for me!) met up with another friend from high school, and caught up with friends from Montreal. We spent time with Annelies' friend and her newborn baby--adorable. </div>

279. Mealshare has already donated over 1.3 million meals to youth in need through their charity partners. Lets help them give more. Mealshare has a buy 1 give 1 approach. If you buy a Mealshare menu item at one of the partner restaurants, the restaurant donates to mealshare, who in turn gives the money to organizations such as Boys and Girls Club and Operation Come Home, and they provide meals to youth.<br />

323. Head on out for a nice lunch or dinner at one of these delicious restaurants and order a mealshare item.There is no additional cost to you, and it will mean a lot to the recipient. As someone who gets hangry when I haven&#39;t eaten for a few hours, I can&#39;t stress enough the importance of proper nutrition. Lets give our youth the best chance of success. Thank you to Mealshare and its partners for making this happen and for giving us a way to give!</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.doubletroublekitchenedition.com/feeds/5897753027313915988/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=992839683611515001&amp;postID=5897753027313915988' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/992839683611515001/posts/default/5897753027313915988'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/992839683611515001/posts/default/5897753027313915988'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.doubletroublekitchenedition.com/2017/06/mealshare.html' title='Mealshare'/><author><name>El</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00974868597612629590</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='//blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmPoiimXMZgrN27hQzNu7DAbgHv2RgDwp6vbKqcdsRz9z5zxyQZ-lo6knB0AIRKQX4-hV91_cMMfVwWYeLjhh_0Nps6qxyf5keWfB8Y-7h1SMSwbpBoZi5g9e1-aVQ/s220/elgeek.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiz_TTsPcKuCZtoY03G-gx1pMzgbH5FbVQU4hXn63Z8LiRX3BM8fomtPCoY1X8pp-Ph0-Zs5UlwvVSNvZr78Xe52oB4QG7gRKW8f5jv51jFcjDOIco515Ccwdfj9BxT9Xd6eASTlRe0_aY/s72-c/IMG_1758.JPG" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-992839683611515001.post-6309714127863948832</id><published>2017-02-14T10:39:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2017-02-14T10:39:18.371-05:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Lifestyle"/><title type='text'>Pie Workshop at Life of Pie</title><content type='html'>&lt;h1 style=&quot;background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; clear: both; font-family: Georgia, &amp;quot;Bitstream Charter&amp;quot;, serif; font-weight: normal; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 20px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;

328. I came across this "Pastry hands on" workshop by chance and jumped at the opportunity to do it. i immediately asked my friend J as she and Pat always get quiches and pics from life of pie. unfortunately she was fighting a bad cold and wasn't able to attend :(.. but luckily Antonella stepped in and we had a great time! </div>

394. This hands on course was great. the class was small enough that you really got to learn. We each went home with 6-10 tarts, a quiche and enough dough to make about 6 more pies. wow!! I won&#39;t give away all the pie lady&#39;s secrets and recipes, but i recommend this course if it&#39;s offered again. Apparently they will also have a course on making scones..mmm..yum!!</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.doubletroublekitchenedition.com/feeds/6309714127863948832/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=992839683611515001&amp;postID=6309714127863948832' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/992839683611515001/posts/default/6309714127863948832'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/992839683611515001/posts/default/6309714127863948832'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.doubletroublekitchenedition.com/2017/02/pie-workshop-at-life-of-pie.html' title='Pie Workshop at Life of Pie'/><author><name>El</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00974868597612629590</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='//blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmPoiimXMZgrN27hQzNu7DAbgHv2RgDwp6vbKqcdsRz9z5zxyQZ-lo6knB0AIRKQX4-hV91_cMMfVwWYeLjhh_0Nps6qxyf5keWfB8Y-7h1SMSwbpBoZi5g9e1-aVQ/s220/elgeek.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdqxwyKmFIEX1N8_mt67_Nep1pA_0NNCq6ChF-5eGvOZTnygggQh0p5S49yjoNgT9p8GOQwqs9OILKi6muJuHq9LmmadsgyD6L3AnwHQj_g0c-mH7u_XQSrsPfdB1pz9v41lA5ziBy3Yw/s72-c/IMG_0564.JPG" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-992839683611515001.post-8229828795205719237</id><published>2017-02-13T09:05:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2017-02-13T09:05:44.577-05:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Bread"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Lifestyle"/><title type='text'>The Mysteries of Sourdough at Bridgehead</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
395. As a present, S signed me up for this class at bridgehead. So sweet!  Apparently I had been talking a lot about my barista class there. If you missed the recap, read about it <a href="http://www.doubletroublekitchenedition.com/2015/02/pulling-shots-at-bridgehead.html">here</a>.  I also took the croissant course and it was great.. I guess I never got around to blogging about it ( could have sworn I did, but I can't seem to find any evidence of that) </div>
396. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
397. <br /></div>
398. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
399. Well, I won't let that happen this time. One key takeaway from both the croissant and the sourdough course; don't try it at home. Croissants are such a long strenuous process; and sour dough bread really needs specialized equipment (you need to be able to proof the bread just right and have an oven with steam etc). </div>

401. <br /></div>
402. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
403. The starter isn't as hard as I imagined but you need to "feed it" every day. You create the starter by mixing flour and water, and then every day you throw away 80% of the mixture and add more flour and water. </div>
404. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
405. <br /></div>
406. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
407. One lady in my course said, well it's just like watering your plants or feeding your dog. you need to do it every day. Hmm well I didn't know a plant I didn't kill and I definitely don't have a dog so... But it was really interesting to learn about the process and see how the bread is made at the Bridgehead Roastery. The starter at Bridgehead has been alive for 9 years. Wow!!! The longer you have it for, the more flavour develops. Once you have starter, you use it for about 25% of your dough to make the bread. </div>

446. The fresh bread was so good!!! See those big holes? They are a sign that the bread turned out well.<br />
447. <br />
448. They gave us dough to take home. When I tried to made bread with it, it failed miserably and I had to toss it. i think i know where I went wrong..the oven was too hot to proof it and the dough kind of melted..and became very sticky. Woops. Ah well. I did make pizza dough with some of the dough and that was really delicious! I made pizza for my parents and then again for S and everyone liked it.<br />

450. I love these bridgehead workshops and highly recommend them! This instructor also teaches pastry at Algonquin. That would be fun!!<br />

Of course, I wanted to get it. S said that those kits were lame and that he always makes his gingerbread houses from scratch. Well, I soon found out as we struggled to make templates and cut the gingerbread, it was actually his mom that always made them from scratch, not him. He also forgot to mention that this was years ago and his memory of how to make them was less than fresh. That being said, it was still a great idea and I am grateful for S and his creativity, open mind, craftiness, sense of humour, and just for putting up with me in general :) .. okay I am cheesy I know.. I&#39;ll stop now.&lt;br /&gt;

498. Anyway, we managed, using this <a href="http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/gingerbread-house-recipe.html">site</a> as guidance. We baked the gingerbread one day, got the candy another, ate all the candy (mostly me), bought more candy, and finally built and decorated the house. I'd say this took place over about a week or so. Hey it was a busy time. We  also baked a few extra gingerbread pieces and put together gingerbread house kits to give as hostess gifts and I had some fun designing printouts with the icing instructions with this cool program <a href="https://www.canva.com/">Canva</a> that S told me about. </div>

507. I won't re-post all the instructions as you can follow the ones from the site. I would however advise you to let the icing thicken for a bit in the fridge, as it can be unwieldy if it's too thin. Also have patience and use glasses (or other props) to hold up the walls of the house while you let it dry. </div>

666. With the rainy weather, I finally got back into the kitchen this weekend and am excited to share some recipes on here. First though, I wanted to talk about my weekend and some things going on in Ottawa and on the Internets.<br />
667. <br />
668. Have you been watching the Olympics? Go Canada Go!! My favourite has been the swimming of course. Track and field is fun to watch too.  Did you all catch the 100m final last night? Go Andre de Grasse!! Also, so sweet the bromance/mentorship with him and Usain Bolt..melts your heart!<br />
669. <br />
670. After work on Friday, S and I did a short little Nike Training workout. We did one of the partner workouts "Beach Ready" and it was only 17 minutes of abs, dead lifts, lunges etc.<br />

676. The only equipment you need for that one is a mat and a medicine ball and since it was raining we did it inside. We were both sore the next day.. time to get back in shape! At least for me. The <a href="http://www.nike.com/us/en_us/c/nike-plus/training-app]">Nike Training Ap</a> has recently been updated with a lot of new workouts so check it out.<br />
677. <br />
678. After watching the epic win of Canada's female soccer team against  France- Semi finals forthcoming tomorrow against Germany- we wanted to go to <a href="https://centretownmovies.wordpress.com/schedule/">Movies in the Park</a> but unfortunately it was rained out. We did go the weekend before and it's really nice. If you live in or around center town I recommend checking it out.<br />
679. <br />
680. On Saturday morning<span id="goog_404455936"></span><span id="goog_404455937"></span><a href="https://www.blogger.com/"></a>, we went to the <a href="http://casmuseum.techno-science.ca/en/index.php">Aviation Museum</a>. I had never been before. It was interesting and a lot of fun.  The place is very kid friendly and was swarming with little ones. They had activities for the kids looked like a lot of fun ( they even had space suits for the kids).  For the Star Trek Fans out there out there, there is also a Star Trek Exhibit.<br />
681. <br />
682. For lunch, we made a variation of chicken and waffles with tater tot waffles.. it was so good! I'll post that recipe in a separate post.<br />
683. <br />
684. One of my favourite things to make lately is wraps. S made some a few weeks ago for a picnic and they were soo good I have been craving them ever since. I made some for lunches and dinner a few times after and this weekend, Daniele made some for us to bring to the book club picnic. These ones had leftover jerk chicken, spinach, avocado and hummus. Put all the ingredients at the centre of the wraps, roll them up, stab them with tooth picks, cut in half and voila. So yummy.<br />

692. Speaking of book club, the book we read for Book Club is Girl in the Woods by Aspen Matis. It was pretty good, but not as good as Wild, by Sheryl Strayed. If you have to pick one, I recommend the latter.  Funny story, some people in the book club thought it was the same story and watched the movie Wild by mistake..woops!! haha oh well. Same idea.<br />
693. <br />
694. Our next book is called, At the Water's Edge by Sara Gruen. She wrote Water for Elephants and is a great author. So far, I am really enjoying it.<br />
695. <br />
696. On another note, My friend Billy opened an Etsy Jewelry Store- <a href="https://www.etsy.com/ca/shop/TheUkiyoCollection?ref=search_shop_redirect">The UkiyoCollection</a>. I am so impressed!! The jewelry is so pretty.  Check it out and order some bling! I love all of the items he has so far.<br />

774. <div style="color: #222222;">
775. <span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><span style="font-family: inherit;">I was interested in reading the book, as I was about to be going to an Arts/Music camp in the Laurentians, where the book's author, Leah Koenig, was to be giving a cooking demonstration.  It turned out to be a delightful experience.  Leah is young, warm, enthusiastic, and creative.  Her credentials as a food writer are sound.  She has written for The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, Saveur, CHOW, and Every Day with Rachel Ray. Her first cookbook, "Hadassah Everyday Cookbook", (2011)</span></span></div>
776. <div style="color: #222222;">
777. <span style="font-family: inherit;">was named one of the Best books of 2011 by Library Journal.  Visit her at: <a href="http://www.leahkoenig.com/" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank">www.leahkoenig.com</a></span></div>
778. <div style="color: #222222;">
779. <span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
780. <div style="color: #222222;">
781. <span style="font-family: inherit;">The book is full of beautiful photographs by Sang An, whose work has appeared in many magazines, including Martha Stewart Living and Real Simple.</span></div>
782. <div style="color: #222222;">
783. <span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
784. <div>
785. <span style="color: #222222; font-family: inherit;">The recipes in the book cover </span><span style="color: #222222;">marvelous</span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: inherit;"> range of "Jewish Cooking".  You will find so many treats, from well-known Ashkenazi favourites like "Chicken Soup", "Kugel" and even "Gribenes" (crispy chicken fat renderings), an excellent recipe for "Bagels", to exotic Sephardic dishes, many of them vegetarian.  The Middle Eastern inspired recipes range from "Matbucha Salad", "Roast Chicken with Fennel and Orange", Leah's creative "Tahini, Roasted Fig and Pistachio Sundaes", to a tasty "Spinach Shakshuka".  As well, there are Jewish Italian recipes, and a superb "Ethiopian Chicken Stew".  Everywhere there are Leah's innovations and interesting new takes on the traditional. </span></div>

789. <span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
790. <div>
791. <span style="font-family: inherit;">I had one criticism of the book.  In the recipe for the classic dish "Kasha Varnishkes", Leah neglected to brown the kasha (buckwheat groats), <u>first,</u> after coating it in beaten egg, <u>before</u> adding the boiling water (better to use broth) to cook the kasha.  Browning the kasha makes a big difference to the taste when added, along with fried onions, to the bow tie noodles (Varnishkes). </span></div>
792. <div>
793. <span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
794. <div>
795. <span style="font-family: inherit;">And I would make one suggestion, if you buy the book, and decide to try the delicious "Potato Latke" recipe  - rather than squeezing the starchy water out of the grated potato/onion mixture in a tea towel (messy and onerous), you should try using a salad spinner.  It works perfectly. </span></div>
796. <div>
797. <span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
798. <div>
799. <span style="font-family: inherit;">After the demonstration in August, Leah autographed the copy of her book for Eleanore.  It's taken me several months to test some of the recipes,  copy my favourites, and write this review.  Now it's time, sadly, to turn the book over to Eleanore!</span></div>

811. What a glorious day!!  I woke up at 5am I was so excited and then fell back asleep until around 7. Surprisingly, I was a bit apprehensive about eating. I thought it might be good to just have oatmeal instead of eggs, but was still craving something salty. I decided to go down and check out the sauna for a last bit of detox. It was actually big and nice in there.  I will have to go more often! </div>

836. People have been asking me how I feel and if the cleanse did anything. I think it is too early to say. I felt fine during the 3 days. I probably would have gotten more and more used to it and had increased energy if I continued for longer. I would not recommend doing a cleanse if you are doing a lot of exercise. In that regard, the timing worked out well for me. <br />
837. <br />
838. I am down 6 pounds from before the cleanse. That seems like a lot for 3 days but I will probably gain half back just from eating again.  I just hope it motivates me to continue to eat healthy and to include an abundance of veggies and fruits in my diet.  I figure my body is full of nutrients from at least 27 kilos of veggies and fruits.. that must be good for something.My skin does look clearer and feels softer.<br />
839. <br />
840. In some ways it was harder than expected and in some it was easier. It was definitely a challenge and an opportunity to test my determination. Thanks to Stu for obliging my crazy idea and joining me on this hilarious adventure.<br />
841. <br />
842. I would definitely recommend Urban Juice Press to anyone looking to do a juice cleanse, or even just to try out try out their juices.  They were so helpful and encouraging throughout!<br />

852. <b>Juice #1-Time: 7:30am</b><br />
853. <span style="font-family: inherit;">I woke up feeling great! I didn't feel low energy or light headed like yesterday. I am delighted that it is the last day, althoug<span style="font-family: inherit;">h I sort of feel like I could go longer. After watching that documentary " Sick, Fat and Almost Dead" where the main character does a 60 day juice cleanse, and some of the others do 10 days, I feel like I could almost go for 10 days.. ALMOST.. but not quite. I'll stick to 3 days for now.  The urge</span> to drown myself in lasagna has dissipated and I am excited to keep eating healthy after the cleanse is over. It definitely helps you put things in perspective, and makes you appreciate even healthy foods.</span><br />

862. So far,  I am not feeling weak or tired like yesterday :) I am not sure if it's because I know the end is in sight or whether I am just getting used to it.<br />
863. <br />
864. I walked into the work kitchen to heat up my heating pad and there was a woman in there toasting a bagel. It was a cinnamon raisin bagel and just smelled so good. She had gotten half of it stuck in the toaster and her colleague was helping her get it out.  It reminded me of a scene from the documentary where they talk about how everyone has a moment that will test them. The man in the documentary was doing a cleanse and was at a 4th of July barbecue. He was talking to someone and nearly stole a sausage off his barbecue because he wanted it so badly.  I burst out laughing during this scene, but I can relate to it. This moment, in the kitchen, with the delicious smell of a cinnamon raisin bagel was my test. I actually thought, while they are distracted trying to get that half bagel out, I can just grab this half and make a run for it..<br />

872. Craving attack.  I am thinking about what I might eat tomorrow.. so many possibilities! Although it says to wean yourself slowly back to solid foods, that just doesn't seem likely at this point. I can't wait to eat an egg for breakfast tomorrow.<br />

902. <b style="font-size: 16px; line-height: 22.4px;"> </b><span style="font-size: 16px; line-height: 22.4px;">I am off the Ikea with Sean.. no [horse] meatballs for me :( and no delicious cinnamon buns that is for sure.  But it's okay. I am giddy looking in my fridge and only seeing 4 juices left :)</span><br />

905. <span style="line-height: 22.3999996185303px;">I survived ikea no problem.  It's funny because I didn't feel out of it or foggy head, but I kept saying something different than what I meant. I would mean to say Home Sense and would say Linen chest. Repeatedly.  Or other variations of the sort. It was so funny.  Sean asked if I was on pain meds for my foot, and I said no, I'm on juice! </span><br />
906. <span style="line-height: 22.3999996185303px;"><br /></span>
907. <span style="line-height: 22.3999996185303px;">I also managed to quickly pass by whole foods. I really wanted an avocado to eat with my breakfast tomorrow. I managed to leave with lettuce, avocado and a greek yogurt dip. If I hadn't been rushing home to drink my juice I probably would have left with a huge cart full.</span><br />

919. Good morning! So I woke up this morning feeling a little bit weak and tired. I am probably just not used to having so few calories. It's good because I was actually craving my juice.  I had a 7am appointment to get my winter tires put on so i drank about half the juice and took the rest to go in the car.<br />

926. The funny thing about this tire appointment is that I actually considered changing it, only because the dealership is right next to a Tim Hortons. It seems so ridiculous to me now. I actually thought,  'Hmm I usually go wait at Tim Hortons and have a coffee, but since I can't do that, maybe I should go another day'. What?? That is crazy talk. I actually called to change my appointment, but no one answered the phone. Probably for the best.<br />

931. So once I got settled in the waiting area I saw that there were no herbal teas for the Keurig machine. They had Green tea and regular tea but I'm pretty sure even green tea is off limits. I was debating the less-than-tempting prospect of drinking plain hot water, when I discovered ginger-lime herbal tea bag bag in my purse. Perfect! Saves the day!<br />

935. I ended up waiting so long for my car. As 8:00 approached, I was not very pleased and expressed my dissatisfaction to the gentleman at the service desk.  I could tell i was starting to get more and more grumpy. My next juice was scheduled for 8:30 and I didn't want to wait longer than that. Note: DO NOT GET BETWEEN A WOMAN AND HER JUICE.  Well luckily for everyone, they finished with my car around 8:25 and decided to waive the fee because it shouldn't have taken so long.  Thank you juice cleanse for making me so grumpy and thereby saving me some money. See, this juice cleanse is starting to pay for itself!<br />

990. Laughed so much I cried talking to Stu about the cleanse. We both couldn't stop laughing. I definitely recommend doing the cleanse with someone it helps a lot. I was saying how I was drinking every last drop to get all the calories but Stu topped me: he actually flipped over the cap to see if there was any left and also refilled the Happy rabbit one with water to get the leftover juice inside the bottle. Desperate times, desperate times.. but hey, good idea!! </div>

1045. Rise and shine.  I can do this! I am pumped. I am also saving a ton of time. No need to cook or eat breakfast. This is awesome. The juice itself is not bad. It tastes very healthy and fresh.  The flavours aren't bad. I drink it very slowly. It is thicker then I expected.<br />

1054. This juice makes my tongue super red and that amuses me. I am still feeling great. I realize that the first two juices of the day have the most calories so I try and savour them. I have a minor headache but not too bad. Likely due to not having my daily coffee!</div>

I am always happy to support local and pleased the juices are cold-pressed in Ottawa!&lt;br /&gt;

1144. Cleanses are calorie-restrictive and help your body detoxify. I have been eating so much unhealthy food lately and just way too much of it. Add to that the "occasional" beer or glass(es) of wine and it is quite the slippery slope.  I thought this might help me get back on track.<br />
1145. <br />
1146. S decided to do the cleanse with me, so we ordered it and hoped for the best. Just reading about the cleanse made me cry from laughing so hard. For example it says in the instructions that you can drink as much water and herbal tea as you want..great.. and it also says to practice gratitude, relax and to exfoliate your skin. S didn't even know what exfoliating meant and that just made me laugh even more.<br />
1147. <br />
1148. Here are some of the Instructions:<br />
1149. <br />
1150. <span style="color: blue;">"Try to keep your life as simple as possible during your cleanse where environmental stresses can be significantly reduced. Do yoga. Go for nature hikes. Do some stretches and meditate. Practice mindfulness and body awareness. Do daily gratitude. Encourage body perspiration and exfoliate your skin. Relax and enjoy and finally make sure you get a great night's sleep each night."</span><br />
1151. <br />
1152. I can't exactly do any nature hikes right now because of my (injured) foot, but maybe I could spend a few minutes in the sauna in my building. It seems a bit sketchy down there, but now is a good a time as any to try it out.<br />
1153. <br />
1154. When I told my mom we were doing this cleanse she said we were nuts. I said I will likely be very grumpy..ok? She was like umm, what's okay about that? So I think she will be keeping her distance for the next 3 days. As I have a tendency to get <b>hangry</b>, I apologize in advance for anything I may do or say during this 3 day period. I take no responsibility for any of my actions. Cool?<br />

1157. Pre-cleanse, we followed the instructions of drinking lemon water every day to prep your body.<br />
1158. Because neither S nor I do anything halfway, we decided to order the "medium" cleanse, rather than the beginner one. What fools we are.<br />
1159. <br />
1160. Anyway, here are some of the details about the cleanse.<br />
1161. <br />
1162. We get to drink 9 juices each day. Here they are:<br />

Thanks &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.lightchasers.ca/#!blog/csxz&quot;&gt;Deb&lt;/a&gt; for hosting! &amp;nbsp;I always have a nice time with this group and learn a lot from them. &amp;nbsp;It is really fun to have a set with backgrounds and lighting. &amp;nbsp;I got light stands for Christmas from D&amp;amp;N and now I just need to take the plunge and order some lights..&lt;br /&gt;
1222. <br />
1223. We decided to make a salad with beats, almonds, goat cheese and arugula or kale. Perfect colourful winter salad to fight the winter blahs. It has been so cold!  I know salad might not be the first thing that comes to mind on a cold day but this one is hearty and filling and a nice break from stews.<br />
1224. <br />
1225. The recipe we used is from Ina Garden, Barefoot Contessa cookbook and can be found <a href="http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/ina-garten/balsamic-roasted-beet-salad-recipe.html">here</a>.<br />
1226. <br />
1227. Deb roasted the beats in the oven, as per the instructions. They were delicious. I actually still have beets from my fall vegetable share and they are still good. I kept them in the fridge and am amazed at how long they lasted.  If you are short on time, however, you can always pick up some of these ready-to-go cooked "<a href="http://www.lovebeets.com/meet-our-beets/">love beets</a>" from Costco or the grocery. They are super convenient to have on hand. <br />

1279. <br />
1280. I was super excited about this barista course at Bridgehead and signed up despite the concerns of  some of my friends and family members.  "I just worry that your skills won't be transferable" they said. I am glad I didn't let that deter me. It is true, I don't have the best, fanciest equipment and can't exactly replicate everything. But I have learned a lot and can apply some of my new knowledge and skills to my coffee making every day. I have already notice a big improvement in the flavour of my morning latte. My latte art is still a work in progress.<br />
1281. <br />
1282. On the morning of the workshop there was a huge blizzard, of course- this has been the norm most days this winter. It seems to either be snowing with bad road conditions, or -40 with windchill. Not sure which is worse? Anyway, I arrived (a bit late) and was welcomed by the 3 instructors and the group.<br />
1283. <br />

1286. <br />
1287. Right away they asked me what I wanted to drink- yum!!<br />

1292. And there were delicious croissants<br />
1293. <br />
1294. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

1296. <br />
1297. Now any day that starts with such a pretty latte and a croissant is bound to be excellent. It did not disappoint.<br />
1298. <br />
1299. Our instructors (left to right in the photo below) Ian, Randy and Cliff were extremely nice, and at least one of them was a national champion in latte art. Who even knew that was a thing?<br />
1300. <br />
1301. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

1303. <br />
1304. We learned and practiced how to grind, level, tamp, and pull a shot. Finally we did a bit of latte art.<br />
1305. <br />
1306. Here are some of my takeaways:<br />
1307. <br />
1308. <b>On espresso</b><br />
1309. <br />
1310. <ul>
1311. <li>Coffee is only 1-2% coffee and 98-99% water, whereas espresso is about 10% coffee</li>
1312. <li>Espresso beans are just coffee beans that are roasted in a certain way to use with the espresso process</li>
1313. <li>Traditionally they are made with darker beans</li>
1314. <li>Crema (the foam) on top of the espresso is an indication of how good the espresso is. A lot of crema= lots of gas = lots of oils= lots of texture= delicious coffee! </li>
1315. <li>Crema also indicates how fresh the shot is. It only lasts a couple of minutes after the shot is poured. </li>
1316. <li>The espresso is comprised of 3 parts: foam, dissolved solids (coffee) and the oil phase (lower section)</li>
1317. <li>A large concentration of oils is what makes good espresso. It adds to the texture and reduces the perception of bitterness</li>
1318. <li>Once coffee is ground, it emits gas at a much faster rate. That is why you should keep the beans  whole and only grind them right before you make the coffee. </li>
1319. </ul>
1320. <b>On equipment</b><br />
1321. <br />
1322. <ul>
1323. <li>With a good grinder and a decent/cheaper espresso maker, you can make world class espresso</li>
1324. <li>With an amazing espresso maker but a bad grinder, you will never be able to make good espresso (harsh!)</li>
1325. <li>If your espresso maker is pressurized, you do not need to tamp the coffee. To upgrade your machine you can -depressurize it, but you need to make sure you have a good grinder. <i><< Mine is pressurized and I am leaving it like that until I get a decent grinder. </i></li>
1326. <li>a digital scale comes in handy to weigh the coffee </li>
1327. </ul>

1337. <b><b><br /></b></b></div>
1338. <b>
1339. On the process:</b><br />
1340. <ul>
1341. <li>When not in use, keep the portafilter in the group-head- this keeps it warm</li>
1342. <li>Make sure to wipe out the portafilter with a cloth before using</li>
1343. <li>Weigh the ground coffee- it should weigh about 18g</li>
1344. <li>Level and then tamp the coffee- rest the portahead on the edge of the counter and hold in one hand, use your other hand to tamp and make sure your other elbow is at 90 degrees. </li>
1345. <li>When holding the tamp, hold it with 2 fingers around the round part. Do not hold it by the handle</li>
1346. <li>Make sure the coffee is equally distributed and tamped evenly. If it isn't tamped properly it will cause the water to not go through evenly and will result in coffee that is too bitter or too sour</li>
1347. <li>Similarly,  if the coffee is ground too coarsely or too fine, it will go through too quickly or too slowly, and the espresso will be sour of bitter</li>
1348. <li>To pull the shot run the espresso maker for about 25-30 seconds (this includes the time the machine is on but no espresso is coming out yet). Set a timer. <i><< I realized I was doing mine for wayy too long! </i></li>
1349. <li>The pulled shot should weigh about 38g. Anything between 35-40g is pretty good.  </li>
1350. </ul>
1351. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

1355. <b>On latte art:</b></div>
1356. <ul>
1357. <li>Works best with 2% or whole milk</li>
1358. <li>Works best with steaming wand with 4 jets not just 1 <i>( mine just has one)</i></li>
1359. <li>Use a metal pouring pitcher with a triangular spout</li>
1360. <li>Steam milk until the pitcher is too hot to touch on the outside</li>
1361. <li>Bang out the air bubbles and swirl around to incorporate</li>
1362. <li>Start pouring from far so most of the milk settles below the crema and as you are getting to the foamier milk pour closer so the milk stays at the top</li>
1363. <li>Small wrist movements</li>
1364. <li>At the end pour from far again and pull through</li>
1365. <li>Practice, practice practice! </li>

I attended this &lt;a href=&quot;http://startupgrind.com/ottawa/&quot;&gt;Startup Grind&lt;/a&gt; event back in December and am only managing to write about it now. The &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.bridgehead.ca/pages/roastery&quot;&gt;Bridgehead Roastery&lt;/a&gt; is quickly becoming one of favourite weekend hangouts, so I will be sharing more about it in the weeks to come.&lt;br /&gt;
1398. <div>
1399. <br /></div>
1400. <div>
1401. If you are unfamiliar with Startup Grind, I highly recommend checking it out. It has chapters all around the world...or at least in Canada, the US and Europe.. </div>
1402. <div>
1403. <br /></div>
1404. <div>
1405. Hey Look, I just noticed it <a href="http://startupgrind.com/launch-startup-grind-in-your-city/">says on their site</a> they are looking for directors in cities including Vienna<< looking at you JB.  </div>
1406. <div>
1407. <br /></div>
1408. <div>
1409. I first heard about Startup Grind on my friend <a href="http://www.sixminutes.ca/">Albert's blog</a>.  I recommend checking out his blog. He writes of all sorts of topics, from spiralizers to business, law, and everything in between. About once a month, Startup Grind holds these fireside chats where they host an interview with a local entrepreneur. Other entrepreneurs (and weirdos like myself who just find these things so interesting) gather to listen, learn and network. Someone actually asked me if I was a reporter last time because I took so many notes. Lots of scribbles on the back of a receipt from my purse.. I would have been a pretty un-professional reporter. I have now attended several fireside chats and enjoyed all of them. Steve Beauchesne of Beau's Brewery was a particularly <a href="http://www.sixminutes.ca/beaus-at-startup-grind/">well spoken</a> and motivating speaker.  Startup Grind also posts videos afterwards online, but, although there is a small fee,  I find it more fun to be there in person.</div>
1410. <div>
1411. <br /></div>
1412. <div>
1413. This particular fireside chat was an interview with Tracey Clark, Owner of Bridgehead. I really like Bridgehead so I was really excited for this one. It did not disappoint. I bought my ticket in advance and went alone, when nobody wanted to join me. Hey, it is hard to compete with hockey in this city.  Especially when it's a home game. But, to my delight and surprise, my friend Ray was there, so we got  a chance to catch up. It also forced me to network more and meet some new people.   </div>
1414. <div>
1415. <br /></div>
1416. <div>
1417. Tracey was passionate, candid and funny. I loved hearing about how she overcame challenges with minimal drama and fuss. I also had the privilege of meeting her and chatted with her at the event. I was a bit star struck but she is very personable and I even got a chance to tell her about this little blog and give her my card. </div>
1418. <div>
1419. <br /></div>
1420. <div>
1421. Being Bridgehead and all, they served delicious food and coffee. This is not the case for most of the Startup Grind events.  Here are some photos I took from the event. </div>
