Presses and Pot Luck Tonight!
I can’t wait to see you all tonight at the Pot Luck and to celebrate all of the hard work you’ve been putting into this year’s Open. I know you have until Monday to finish your final workout but I’m just really proud of all the effort you have put behind this year’s Open. First year to all five years or somewhere in between–it’s a really great thing to test yourself and face things that make you really uncomfortable both physically and mentally and maybe this aspect of all Things about the Open is really the most valuable Thing. “The reality of sport is that it is easier to just quit or give up – because this is easier than facing and accepting our own failures. A far more appropriate and constructive response is to face our failures and learn from them – to do everything in our power to perform optimally given any circumstances.”
Additionally, although this probably isn’t great for the pot luck I couldn’t wait to share this recipe. I’m not even sure I can wait for the first local tomatoes to hit the market–but I suspect if I do I will be amply rewarded! Shakshouka!
