Slower Sunday: They’re so good at that.

You get to the end of a long walk. A 6-mile beach. Soft sand. Soothing waves. It's enough. Really. You couldn't ask for more. Then you look up. And you get more. Dozens of brown pelicans in flight. Press Play for your more.

Rainforest Rice Krispies & Banana

February 11, 2012

In Costa Rica, the national breakfast of champions is gallo pinto. Rice & beans. When you order it, you get more: fried plantains. And probably a corn tortilla. Complete protein. Completely delicious.

Rainforest Diet: Banana-Curried Fish

Less than 50 cents per serving for the spectacularly delicious banana curry. Intensely flavorful and the butter makes it feel luxurious in your mouth. The lime is bright. The mustard adds a little heat. What a mouthful. And that's before you get to the fish.

Rainforest Diet: Coconut-Lime Soup

Sweet, tart and spicy. Simple to make but complex to taste. Satisfying but light. A day's worth of Vitamins A and C. Skip the shrimp and it's vegan. 10 minutes of preparation, 20 of simmering.

Rainforest Diet: Chicken & Papaya Curry

Luscious and delicious. A wonderful combination of savory and sweet. A lighter, brighter version of chicken salad. No mayo. Just lime juice, curry powder and a little oil. All on top of fresh papaya slices. Yum.

Hurts so good

Tough game yesterday. Sore today. Muscle knots. Stiff ridge lines of muscle. Give yourself a massage. "Self-Myofascial Release" with this 3-in-1 Massage Roller. The stick that keeps on giving.

Popcorn of Champions

Two Ways to fill that bowl with tons of flavor. But very light on the calories. The snack of choice when you expect to spend a few hours on the couch watching TV. Two versions: grated parmigiano and gremolata.

Slower Sunday: Time Zones

What a difference a flight makes. A few days ago, my walk in the park looked like this. Winter time. Today, it looks like rain forest time. In Costa Rica.

The Walk That Skates Ottawa

Dick Sandhaus

A great day-hike. 18 miles. 6 to 8 hours with three river crossings, two canal crossings and one waterfall crossing. Burn almost 2,500 calories. More than you'll consume trying to sample all the cuisines in the Byward Market district.

Egg Foo Yung. Chinese New Year Omelet

January 26, 2012
Dick Sandhaus

A perfect meal in a pan. A great Way to use the always seasonal, local and same-day fresh eggs from the Farmers Market. A few minutes of chopping and stirring. Five minutes of tending. One suspenseful second of flipping.
