Nutrition - Broth In days gone by, when the butcher sold meat on the bone rather than as individual filets and whole chickens rather than boneless breasts, our thrifty ancestors made use of every part of the animal by preparing stock, broth or bouillon from the bony portions.
Stock or broth begins with bones, some pieces of meat and fat, vegetables and good water. For beef and lamb broth, the meat is browned in a hot oven to form compounds that give flavor and color. Then all goes in the pot--meat, bones, vegetables (onion, garlic, carrot, cellery, leek, bay leaves) water and salt and pepper. The water should be cold, because slow heating helps bring out flavors. Add vinegar to the broth to help extract calcium--remember those egg shells you soaked in vinegar until they turned rubbery.Heat the broth slowly and once the boil begins, reduce heat to its lowest point, so the broth just barely simmers. Scum will rise to the surface. One of the basic principles of the culinary art is that this effluvium should be carefully removed with a spoon. Otherwise the broth will be ruined by strange flavors. Besides, the stuff looks ter-rible. “Always Skim” is the first commandment of good cooks.
Two hours simmering is enough to extract flavors and gelatin from fish broth. Larger animals take longer--all day for broth made from chicken, turkey or duck and overnight for beef broth.Broth should then be strained. The leavings, picked over, can be used for terrines or tacos or casseroles. Perfectionists will want to chill the broth to remove the fat. Stock will keep several days in the refrigerator or may be frozen in plastic containers. Boiled down it concentrates and becomes a jellylike fumée or demi-glaze that can be reconstituted into a sauce by adding water.

StealthRider - has been ticking along nicely with our instructors working there groups hard and receiving positive feedback. Remember if you haven’t been to one of our sessions you need to bring along a radio transmitter (most modern phones, mp3 players, and ipods have this inbuilt) and tune into the instructors on 87.6 fm. It also pays to get along a little earlier it ifs your first time our instructor will be on hand to help with your setup.
Our Bootcamp has got underway with a real hiss and a roar. A few new initiatives and new fresh face instructors along with some popular marketing has seen 22 participants involved with our six week programme, that will see us work all bloody hard too create a team unity that sees them not only reaching their goals, but have them pushing each other as a group.

Final NoteYou would have noticed a couple of changes within the gym, we have moved a bit of the equipment around to accommodate for a new barbell and power station (arriving soon) which we have purchased and a new exercise bike as well. I would like to finally make a huge shout out to Tina from Admin. If your not aware and haven’t noticed Tina has been a very prominent and hard working member in our gym recently. From our side of things here in the CLM Health & Fitness facility its great to see staff here doing us proud and keeping themselves fit and active. So Tina great to see all the hard work paying of for you - Awesome work girl it puts a smile on our face’s
