May 31 Roast Pork ShoulderThree weeks ago pork shoulder was on sale at the super market for 99cents/pound. Never one to turn down a good deal... I bought a 9.5 pound one and put it in my freezer. Last week I decided it was time to clear out some space in my freezer so out came the pork shoulder. As you can see, it is a rather large piece of meat.
I put some simple seasoned salt on top and off it went into the oven for about 5 hours at 300'f.
Mid way through cooking, I added a mixture of corn syrup and brown sugar on top to create a glaze. The final result is below:
Carving it up...
Some of the longer cuts
Served with pepers and corn
In the end, I removed as much meat as could leaving the shoulder bones
I'll be eating roast pork for the rest of the week
May 26 Six Months To GoSent off my early registration form for the Honolulu Marathon today. The Race is December 13th and will be my 4th marathon.
May 17 Hand Stand PushupsThis is my big accomplishment from cross fit. 2 weeks ago I couldn't do these at all, but, my coach kicked my ass and now I can manage about 10 or so in a row before I fall over. I got Mayumi to take a pic/video of me doing them today after our bbq. Pretty amazing I was able to do any seeing I had been eating bbq and drinking beer for the past 2 hours. This wall isn't high enough either. The next step will be to do these without a wall.
Mt. OlympusFinally made it to the top of Mt. Olympus on a semi-clear day.
    May 04 Going WellToday was a pretty cool day in the market. Financials were on fire today after an analyst at GS upgraded the sector. FAS was up a cool 26%! Taiwan has really taken off as well after the KMT allowed Chinese cos to buy a stake in a Taiwanese listed company. Things are clearly improving (credit spreads, consumer confidence...) but with all the unsold houses still on the market in America... I don't think we are out of the woods yet.

 Sunday WorkoutI've had a few nagging injuries and hadn't done my full weekend gym/Koko Head workout in a few weeks. I got back into it today. Benchpress was a little weak but earned a new PR on the up Koko Head breaking 16:30 for the first time.
 16:25 up...and 5:42 down. Lots of people in my way on the way down as well as an untied shoe lace cost me 20-30 seconds.
 New TVI got my new tv about 1 week ago. I ended up getting the Samsung LN46A630 which is a 2008 46 inch model. It is nice to have HD sports and uncensored HBO (Singapore) again. Watching the B's play game 2 vs. Carolina today. Notice how clear the picture is even in a digital camera shot.
Friday Night Hot Pot
