Take-out dinner from Tavola Minneapolis.

Pictured: Housemade cheese tortellini with porcini cream (so delicious!), parma pizza, margherita pizza, brussels sprouts caccio e pepe, beet salad.

It’s been a long, rough week: “A” had a round of infusion treatment, we’re dealing with sleep regression, Bacon is starving for attention and misbehaving…the list goes on. The number of recipes I’ve been posting has dramatically decreased for obvious reasons: I’m stretched thin. I’m grateful for small acts of kindness, including being given the exception to pick-up food curbside when they only do take-out and dine-in. #SupportRestaurants

It’s estimated that around 1 out of 6 restaurants have closed in the pandemic. Restaurant life was already hard: read this hidden cost breakdown of food delivery services, placing owners and workers between a rock and, well, a hard place. Are you getting take-out? If so, how are you getting it?

The Cellar Gym’s Checkmat MinneapolisBJJ team brought an amazing game to the 2015 Submission Hunt Championships! In total, the Cellar brought home six Gold, six Silver, and four Bronze medals. Our highlights and wins:

• Michelle Donovan worked hard to healthfully cut over 15 pounds in order to compete in the 120-135 division, where she showed a beautifully impressive performance of technique and calculated aggression. She tied for 1st (with teammate Kaitlin Youwer) in her gi white belt division, took 3rd in the gi blue belt division, and 2nd in the gi white belt open weight division, losing only to a very strong and much heavier opponent. Go Michelle! :)
  
• Kaitlin Youwer, despite being relatively new to BJJ, rocked the mats with a dominant display. She took 1st in her no-gi division, 3rd in no-gi open division, 1st in the gi blue belt division (!), and tied for 1st in the gi white belt division with Michelle.
  
• Evie Enderle took 2nd in her gi white belt division, giving an exceptionally strong and aggressive opponent a spectacular run for her money. Way to represent, Evie!
• Shuyeng Vang took 1st in his gi white belt division and 2nd in his no-gi division.
• Kevin Skadsheim took 1st in his gi blue belt division.
• Damon Leahy took 1st in his gi white belt division and 2nd in his no-gi division. 
• Scott Masterton took 3rd in his gi purple belt division.
• Pete Donlin took 3rd in his gi blue belt division.

Big congratulations to everyone! It was a great time seeing my teammates kick ass so hard - looking forward to healing up all the way so I can compete this spring. Thank you to coaches Mayko Araujo and Karen Antunes for running such an amazing team and for encouraging us to work harder every day!
