Marinades are an excellent way to add flavor to meat and fish. For those of us eating Paleo/Zone, marinades also come in handy for keeping lean cuts of meat tender as they cook. A well-marbled steak is easy to keep juicy, but a lean cut of beef or pork will dry out quickly in the hands of an inexperienced cook. (I'll talk more about keeping lean mean moist in upcoming posts.)
A marinade invariably includes an acid. Here's Harold McGee, the great distiller of science and food knowledge, on why acids work:
"In chemical terms, an acid is a substance that readily releases protons, the small reactive nuclei of hydrogen atoms. Water is a weak acid, and living cells are designed to operate while bathed in it. But strong acids flood living cells with more protons than they can handle, and cripple their chemical machinery. This why acids are good at preserving food: they cripple microbes."

Tried doing Annie today at my gym in Tokyo... I was just about to start the 20 rep round when an attendant told me to stop since "jumping rope is dangerous." Sigh, I miss CFB... although Tokyo is awesome :)
Man EC was looking strong with that sledge last Saturday.
Coach's wifes' cute hottie friend got to watch me dump a 295 lbs front squat and scream like a little girl. The woman wouldn't even make eye contact with me after the failed squat attempt. Guess I need to train more for that one! j/k
Chris is you read this. Get well. You have a shit ton of lifting to do today.
Tough conditions this morning - like working through water... Pretty good Fran for me, but 20s off my PR. Almost did the 21 set unbroken but dropped off the bar at 16. Good time this morning with a packed gym... 5:33 Rx'd
Looking forward to Benchmark Month!
7:36 this morning, slower than my pr, but faster than last time.
Lot of heart this morning; fabulous way to start the week, as well as benchmark month.
Also looking forward to benchmark month.
Time to embrace the dog days of summer, very humid this morn. Great group at 6am as usual.
7:59 Rx'd

Better than my 11 min one in Feb. I think I can get it down to 2 min. But not legaly.
Been busy at the firehouse, so I've been missing workouts. I want to get my beach muscles up for my trip to ND @ the end of July.
Oh yeah there aren't any beaches in ND, and this isn't a beach muscle gym.
alan, double unders are very dangerous. so is squatting below parallel, grunting, and the use of chalk.
pasty, this is totally a beach muscle gym. daily pose-downs at 1900.
Anything that causes sweat is dangerous. Also at birth, we have a finite number of heartbeats and it's wise to ration them slowly.
Heres a Nike ad along these lines. (I think that it might have been posted here some months back)

I'll take you on EC as long as I can wear a long sleeve shirt. I've got the legs (oakes) of an Adoinis and everything eles of a Devito
11:21 at the globo-gym.
No, that's not a heavy Fran, I'm just that slow. (Next time will be better!)
