Heaven on a Pita
Tuesday, July 27th, 2010
I just have to share – heaven on a pita:
Mmmmmm. My mom just came into town and treated me to lunch at one of my favorite Lebanese places in Virginia – Aladdin’s Eatery!
I had the Ali Baba Pita Pitza – which is pureed eggplant, sliced tomatoes, feta cheese, char-grilled slices of eggplant, calmata olives, and oregano, all on top of a pita. SO GOOD!
I also got a fun juice – carrot, celery, spinach, parsley, and apple. Sounds gross but was actually AWESOME!
Hope you’re all having a nice Friday! I started my day early this morning the best way I know how – with some exercise!
I hit up an early morning cardio kickboxing class at LA Boxing. Awesome workout, as always! Group classes are the best because all you have to do is show up and do whatever they say – no thinking involved, which is key for the early morning
And now, this is awaiting:
But I have something to look forward to – later tonight I’m going to the Dave Matthews concert with a bunch of friends! We may sweat to death, but it should still be a blast He’s great live and we’ve gone a bunch of summers in a row.
Have a wonderful day!
Former Heavyweight Champion Riddick Bowe: Where is he Now?
Monday, July 26th, 2010
Former Heavyweight Champion Riddick Bowe, who was often favorably compared with Mike Tyson, leads exercise classes at LA Boxing gyms in Washington. Bowe had a career record of 43-1 with 33 knockouts, but his boxing achievements are overshadowed by the controversy that often accompanied him. But after years of bad business ventures, bad relationships and legal battles, Bowe says he is finally rich in family and happiness and the things that matter.
Monday, July 5:Â The truest thing Riddick Bowe ever knew was that punch. Despite countless blows to the head, the boxer recalls its purity because his memory, he says, is as sharp as ever. He was just a teenager then, but he still hears its echoes. “WHAP!” Bowe says, punching a fist into an open palm to punctuate his words. “Just like that. You hear that sound?”
