    • Dec. 19/15 - Advanced Teen/Adult Gradings

    For the last class of the year before closing the dojo down for the holidays, Sensei John conducted a grading of the advanced teens and adults.  Every aspect of their karate - their physical fitness, kihon technique, kata execution, kumite skills, endurance, and of course Kyokushin spirit - was tested accordingly.  It was evident from their performance that the advanced belts had been training hard and were well prepared.  They made Sensei proud as they amply demonstrated that they were ready, both physically and mentally, for the next level in their training.  Congratulations to all the candidates who successfully earned their next Kyu.  Osu!

    Dec. 16/15 - Beginner Teen/Adult Gradings

    Towards the end of this evening's training, Sensei and the advanced belts joined the beginners on the ground floor of the dojo where Sempai Alain had already begun their grading.  It was obvious from how fatigued they were that Sempai Alain had thoroughly tested their physical fitness, kihon and kata.  Now it was time for them to fight against the advanced belts.  In short, they held their own and demonstrated the kind of Kyokushin spirit that Sensei demands and expects from his students.  Congratulations to all the candidates who successfully earned their next Kyu.  Well done.  Osu!

    • Celebrity ‘nerd king’ dishes on greatness of eggs and more cooking science

    The "nerd king of Internet cooking" is in Texas this week. J. Kenji López-Alt, author of the bestselling cookbook The Food Lab: Better Home Cooking Through Science, is teaching a series of sold-out cooking classes at Central Market stores in Houston, Austin, and Dallas.

    López-Alt's celebrity status stems from the work he's published on the Serious Eats website, where his column takes a scientific look at questions such as whether searing a raw steak "seals in the juices" (it doesn't) and the steps necessary to cook the perfect burger (flip frequently!).

    Those recommendations are much, much more are thoroughly documented in The Food Lab, which has been a smash hit since its publication in September. Following in the steps of people like Alton Brown and Mr. Wizard, López-Alt documents not just the hows of better cooking but also the whys. Not a surprising approach, considering López-Alt graduated from MIT and describes himself as "part mad scientist, part cook."

    Reviewers have agreed. The New York Timespraised the way López-Alt makes "difficult concepts easy to grasp for those of us with a lifelong lack of aptitude for the sciences." Similarly, Epicurious notes that the author understands "the food nerds reading this book almost as much as you understand the way asparagus takes on a melt-in-your-mouth texture at °F."

    We caught up with López-Alt from his home in California. We chatted about his cookbook's success, why he's teaching an all-breakfast class at Central Market, and his thoughts on whether a hot dog is a sandwich.

    CultureMap: Have people responded to the book the way you anticipated?

    J. Kenji López-Alt:Yes, but on a much bigger scale. From the type of audience the column has, I knew the types of people who would be interested in the book. I never anticipated it would be as popular as

    It was finally time for what has become an annual tradition at West Island Karate/Karaté de L'Îleour KARAOKE HOLIDAY PARTY!  What better way to celebrate another awesome year at the dojo than by getting together with all of our students and their families and friends to eat, laugh, exchange stories, dance and of course SING.  After everyone partook of the bountiful, delicious potluck supper (the desserts t
