Holy shit you guys! Today is the beginning of the 2014 CrossFit Games Open!
If you are registered today is the day you find out the first torture. I feel for you. I didn’t register this year…wah wah wah. Why not? A couple of months ago, Adrian injured his back. At first, I kept doing CrossFit when we worked out and Adrian started doing accessory movements (Bench Press, pull ups) to fill in for what he could not do (Olympic and Powerlifting). I could tell that it was frustrating for him to see me doing the sport he loved right in front of him as he worked on the bench. So after a few weeks, I decided to drop CrossFit (for now) to concentrate more on building size and strength through more traditional bodybuilding style workouts.

For recipe #7 in the Thai Kitchen Canada #TKLucky7 Lucky Recipe Challenge, I created these little Green Curry Beef Mushroom Sliders, which, if you are watching the #GoldenGlobes tonight, would make for some perfect finger food! For recipe 1, recipe 2, recipe 3, recipe 4, recipe 5, and recipe 6 see appropriate links. This is the final recipe in the Lucky Recipe Challenge and I’d like to say that I had an amazing time creating all these fun Global Mash-Ups, but also live blogging for a week straight! In all four and a half years of blogging, I have never live blogged and I have NEVER blogged seven days in a row. Not being braggy, but posting seven recipes for seven days entails a whole helluva lot of work, dedication and time! I really, truly hope you guys love these recipes and have enjoyed all the posting I’ve been doing.
