A tiny slice of Fran

21-15-9
Air squats
5kg Dumbbell presses

Dropped to one arm at a time on the round of 9, couldn't get my left  shoulder to set in  place with both arms in play. And barely with it on its own.
Silly workout.

Sledding and pressing

4R?NFT
Sled push 2 x 60kg, 2 x 40kg, to gate
10 x 15kg press

I used the old PVC rings and straps as handles and pushed the load. 60kg was manageable, but a bit dodgy so dropped the weight. The tyres drag a  lot as the weight goes up.
Full lockout with external rotation on each press. Getting better but still a bloody struggle to hit that position even with that load.

Quiche

From http://lowcarbdiets.about.com/od/cooking/ht/crustlessquiche.htm

Ingredients
500g Kiwi shoulder bacon
1 good sized onion
300ml cream
Some milk.
About 200g Tasty Cheese
8 eggs
1 tomato

Method

  1. Turn the oven to 200C (actually heats to 180C).
  2. Spray frying pan with a little olive oil and warm-up.
  3. Chop bacon into 1 - 1.5cm squares.
  4. Fry.
  5. Dice (approximately) onion.
  6. Fry with bacon.
    Initially cover while frying to sweat the onions
  7. Grate the cheese.
  8. Put the cream in a measuring bowl.
    Add some salt, white pepper and ground black pepper.
    Add eggs.
    Whisk.
  9. Turn the frying pan off for a little to let the onion and bacon cool.
    Although having them hot when the custard hits it may hasten the cooking process.
  10. Split fried onion and bacon between 2 pie pans.
    Spread across the base
  11. Split grated cheese between the pie pans.
  12. Add cream and eggs.
  13. Slice tomato and arrange on top.
    Press into the mixture slightly
  14. Bake for 45 - 50 minutes, but more about a knife coming out clean.
