A good end to the weekend

[luckycanuck]

YW: Capping off the long weekend with a chest centric day.  10,9...1 Bench press and hand release pushups.  10 ring pushups, 10 clean and press, 10 ring pushups, 10 clean and press, 10 heavy bag getups.  Then to finish off: 1 minute maximum hand release pushups, 1 minute rest, continue until 300 pushups done.  Hand release pushups are much tougher than regular pushups and it took me a total of 14 minute 50 seconds.

I had a coffee afterwards with one of my gym friends and she and I agreed that not enough women do weights.

When I got home the house was full again with everyone back from short long weekend trips here and there.  It was time again for our traditional Monday night dinner, and Alleluia really went all out given that she had all day to plan.

The menu included baked chicken and mozzarella wrapped in prosciutto.



And later on, creme brulée, entirely from scratch.


Alleluia got a blow torch as a gift.

There were some regrets that brown sugar was not the best choice as it burned easily, but it did give a satisfying crack when you pushed your spoon through it and it tasted delicious.  I mean lick-the-ramekin-clean delicious.



The weekend of coupleyness continued as a friend of Helga came by with the guy she is seeing.  At one point we nearly had equal numbers of the sexes at Chez Canuck, but normality resumed soon enough.

I'm so glad I live where I do.
