Triathlete Recipes

I grew up cooking complicated meals in the Great Outdoors without much more than what you could carry in your backpack. I was a member of a fantastic high-adventure Scout troop and we would always try to outdo each other with the fanciest meals possible in the most extreme conditions. Lots of times ingredients would get lost, cooking fuel/gear would be compromised, or items would end up being eaten in a previous meal. Still, the judging would go on - with the treasured "Golden Spoon" as the reward. Suffice to say, we learned to whip up a three-course meal in terrible conditions.

As a result, my cooking style is quite bizarre. I can go in pantry, find the most seemingly disparate ingredients, and create some pretty interesting meals. I rarely measure anything because I've learned to eyeball it and I enjoy having the meal taste slightly different each time. My mad cooking skillz can sometimes irritate those that are used to making meals by the book. "How do you know how much to put in? You can't cook that way!" As proof that I'm not making this up, my brother was in the same Scout troop and he is in charge of meals and whatnot at one of the largest catering companies in Chicago. He is a fantastic chef. He cooks the same way.

I was tasked tonight to make dinner for us while my beloved triathlete wife was in class, so I did my typical "Make it up as I go recipe". It turned out tasty, so I thought I'd document how I made it this time and share a decent meal for endurance athletes with all you folks. Here is my humble, thrown-together masterpiece: Totally Aero Thai. Emily gave it the double-thumbs up and my three-year-old even liked it, so it can't be too terrible.

Nutrition is important to us tri-geeks. I'm going to add a page to this blog very soon and list recipes for us to chow down on. Please send me a link to your own. Mine was written and then published with Google Documents. Give it a try if you're looking for a way to keep track of your own recipes. Look closely and you'll see that I've added some triathlon-specific touches.
