Perfect Gluten Free Pancakes Recipe

Finally, after many mess ups and flat pancakes I’ve come up with the perfect recipe for gluten free pancakes.

Ingredients:

1 1/2 cups of Bob's Red Mill All Purpose GF Baking Flour

3 1/2 teaspoons of double acting baking powder

1 teaspoon salt or sea salt

1 tablespoon organic white sugar

1 cup of Organic Whole Milk (You can substitute Almond Milk)

1 Organic Free Range Egg

3 tablespoons of Organic Unsalted Butter, melted

 

Directions:

Put all the ingredients except for the milk and butter into a mixing bowl. Melt the butter in a microwave safe measuring cup and then pour it into the mixing bowl. DO NOT rinse out the measuring cup the butter was just in. Now pour the milk into measuring cup the butter was just in and pour that into the mixing bowl. Finally mix up everything in the mixing bowl with a mixer. We have an electric hand mixer that I usually use and this is where the kids like to help.

Now just cook the mixture in a griddle or pan like you normally cook pancakes.

Enjoy!

This is a modification for this recipe on AllRecipes.com my family has used for years.

17 January Sprint WOD

20 meter Sprint @ 100%
20 Chest to Ground Push-ups

20 meter Sprint
20 Kettle Bell Swings 45#/35#

20 meter Sprint
20 Burpees

50 meter Sprint
50 Sit-ups

50 meter Sprint
50 Air Squats

100 meter Sprint

All sprints should be accomplished at 100%. I performed this WOD on a track and used the markings to determine the distance. For the 20 meter sprints I would run 20 meters and then slow down for 20 meters covering a total distance of about 40 meters. The burpees I performed at the middle of the first turn and then walked around the turn to the line to start the 50 meter sprint. You want to walk a few steps after the burpees and the air squats to loosen your hip flexors back up before you just start sprinting.

Enjoy!

I finished in 14:19. Not very fast.

Presenting the "I-50 Homewrecker"

Came up with a WOD to do in my living room today because I was feeling lazy about going to the park and workout. I'm calling it the "I-50 Homewrecker".

Here's what the name means.
"I" because you are doing it by yourself.
"50" reps of each exercise.
"Homewrecker" because you can do it in your own home and it will leave you wrecked at the end.

5 Rounds for Time
10 Air Squats
10 Sit-ups
10 Push-up Burpees (That means you do a strict chest to ground push-up and then finish like a normal burpee)

This is a scaled workout. If you wanted more of an Rx type of workout then I would do 15 reps of each exercise calling it the "I-75 Homewrecker".

My time was somewhere around 7 or 8 minutes. I just looked at the clock on the wall and realized the time.

Enjoy!

Glimpse for Asp.NET Developers

Last week I watched Scott Hanselman demo a add-on to Asp.NET named Glimpse. If you are familiar with Firebug in Firefox then Glimpse will look very similar. Glimpse allows you to look at all the information of your website while you are debugging to really find out what information is being transferred. You can watch a small demo video of Glimpse on the Glimpse website.

If you are an Asp.NET developer then I suggest you check it out.

Cloud based Windows Domain Server

The problem I have today is really needing a domain server in my home but what I'd really like is a cloud based domain server for home. With having numerous devices in the home and needing to manage permissions and passwords I really just need a domain. When user's change their password on one computer and not the others it messes up the Windows Home Server backups. Plus the people in the house have to remember which password works with which computer.

I've seen where some one was able to do it with Amazon Web Services for a significant price but then it was a hack of DNS forwarding. I wonder if Microsoft has any plans to offer a similar better integrated solution with Windows Azure cloud services. This way I could manage the domain from anywhere and it would be on a very secure and manage network.

I just came back from MS Tech-ed NA 2011 and saw a lot of the capabilities that Azure could do for businesses but I'm wondering how they can help the home power user.

Anybody got any idea's where I could get a Windows Domain in the cloud or is it just a really bad idea?
