Teacher Training! Homemade Mace

If you've ever tried clubbells you will love mace training! 

This one is very light, about 10 pounds, but it still requires tremendous grip strength to control and balance the weight. It provide excellent shoulder mobility and is quite fun. It can be made easily with a wooden handle, a bag of concrete mix, and a basketball. If you're really strong you can use a full size basketball.

Australian Lamb Chops

Cauliflower

These Australian lamb chops came frenched in a rack and I separated each rib using a butcher's knife. I sprinkled with sea salt and broiled them on each side for about 8 minutes. I usually grill them, but it's getting cold these days. I placed them about 4 in. away from the heat source. Always let the meat rest for 10 minutes before serving.

The cauliflower was chopped into florets and coated in olive oil and salt. I placed them in the oven before the lamb and cooked them at 450'F. I covered them for the first 40 minutes (until they softened) then left them to roast for an additional 15 minutes. I sprinkled them with grated parmesan cheese to finish.

3. Raw sweet potatoes, when sliced matchstick thin, can provide a colorful and crunchy addition to your salads!

4. For an alternative leafy salad green: de-spine any chard, chop, and serve!
