Today's Foodie Friday blog is written by Heather Kahler, "Chef HK", CrossFitter and hostesses of Sprouts Dinner club.
"Ever since early humans invented fire, and then huddled around it to share meals, I imagine that meal times became critical community-building events.
There are different styles of meal-based community.
Familial - A household member prepares a meal, and the rest of the family members east what's prepared.  This has several variations.  
  • Sometimes parents work together, sometimes they take turns, sometimes meal preparation falls solely to one parent.  
  • Sometimes kids are involved in the preparation, sometimes they just arrive for mealtime.  
  • Sometimes food is prepared, but family members arrive and depart on different flight paths, and don't share any community.
  • Sometimes food is prepared and enjoyed in front of an electronic entertainment device, also limiting community building
Public - You go to a restaurant to enjoy a meal with friends or family.  The meal has a "special" feel, even if it's something you do frequently, because you have choices you normally wouldn't have, and someone else is doing all the work.
  • Your table community, regardless of newness (first date? 50th Anniversary) has a temporary, celebratory feel that makes conversation easy and relaxed
  • You develop near-remote community with nearby tables as you ogle what they have chosen, and perhaps suffer from buyers remorse when their salad looks better than yours
  • You develop a temporary relationship with your support staff, the success of which depends entirely upon the ability of your server to connect with you.
  • There is a distant relationship between the people who prepared your food, and you.  You are ingesting their gift; their craft; their temporary art installation.  The love that goes into the preparation directly affects your experience, and your emotions about the whole experience.
Team - Whether it's Thanksgiving, a 4th of July Potluck, or another special event, there is a special type of community that forms when a group of people prepare a meal together, and then sit down and eat it together.
  • Those with unique talents get to share them with others, and we all learn from each other, making everyone stronger.
  • We learn about likes and dislikes, and learn to collaborate for a meal everyone will enjoy
  • By participating in the craft, the creation of a temporary art installation together, we are both artists, and patrons of the art
  • As with any team activity, a successful meal, especially pulled off in difficult situations, with high stakes, or within a timeline, leads to a feeling of victory, and a strengthening of the team.
We are working to develop and strengthen temporary or transient communities.  We are getting to know each other, and having a blast while we do it.  We are teaching others.  We are learning from others.
We are sharing a spectacular meal, a formative team-building experience, and enjoying our craft. Sprouts Dinner Club is a team epicurean experience. We invite you to come to the table. Our next diner is Sunday, June 12, 2016. We will be making celebrating summer with a Caribbean lunch. RSVP here."
​Today's Workout 
1-1-1-1-1-1-1 reps for load of 
Thruster + Push Press + Push Jerk + Split Jerk  
From the rack, a thruster followed by a push press followed by a push jerk followed by a split jerk without dropping the bar is one rep. Use the heaviest weight you can for each set. Rest as needed between sets. 
​Today's workout is all about learning to use your powerful hip drive to lift heavy weight overhead. A powerful hip drive crosses over to many outdoor sports, skiing, skating, cycling, running, hiking.
​Whenever you take weight overhead you engage and strengthen your core. Want to work your abs today? Get heavy overhead. Good luck!
