My whirlwind trip to NYC is just about to come to a close. (I'm typing this from my hotel room, and my plane leaves in about ... 8 hours.) Three nights alone in a hotel room could seem a bit daunting, but not when you are in NYC surrounded by amazing people, food, events and this city I love so much. This morning I was thrilled to speak at The Seed event in SoHo with my BFF Gena of Choosing Raw. We had so much fun and thank you to everyone who came out to see us on this VERY rainy Sunday. Ahead I have plenty of photos to share with you from my trip!..Read more » This is a summary, images and full post available on HHL website!

Hi, friends! How was your weekend? Mine was great! I spent Saturday and Sunday watching CrossFit athletes compete at Regionals for a chance to participate in the Games this summer. The top three finishers at Regionals—individual men, individual women, and teams—advanced to the Games. I wasn’t really in blogger mode this weekend—I just enjoyed my time with friends and watched the workouts—but I still wanted to share some photos and highlights for the CrossFitters. Enjoy! HIGHLIGHTS: Austin Malleolo crushing the competition and winning the individual men’s event #4. He also came in first place at Regionals, beating out Daniel Tyminski by one point. They’re both going to the Games along with Eric McGee. During the second to last team event, CrossFit New England set a world record and came in first place! Danielle Horan also set a world record in the individual women’s event #6 and won it. Rumor has it that she beat the current record holder, 2012 CrossFit Games 3rd place finisher Talayna Fortunato, by more than a minute! Beast mode. Danielle also came in first place at Regionals. I am excited to see her compete at the Games! CrossFit friends: Did you watch your region’s competition? Who are you excited to see compete at the Games in July?

We start the nuts in cold oil and bring them to a simmer. When the nuts just begin to brown we remove them from the heat and allow them to carry over in the cooling pot. We strain off the oil when the nuts are just shy of foxy brown and toss them with lime pickle powder, a seasonal and now basically unobtainable wonder from the Cultured Pickle Shop. Alternatively seasoning the warm nuts with another spice blend would also be delicious. And the leftover almond flavored oil is perfect for dressing vegetables, making sauces or gently poaching meats and fish.   Years Past May 19, 2012 May 19, 2011 May 19, 2010 May 19, 2009 May 19, 2008 May 19, 2007 May 19, 2006 May 19, 2005
