The Walk That Ate Denver

September 13, 2024
Dick Sandhaus

A wonderful and weird Walk. Wonderful because it's a great walking and eating city. Weird because it's the Mile High City, so you may feel like you're taking a high elevation hike when you're strolling the sidewalks with direct views of the Rocky Mountains.

Cherry Tomato-Basil Pesto Tart

Dick Sandhaus

Summer's back already. And it's in my mouth. In every bite of a tart that's the easiest best-tasting thing I've tasted in months. Sounds simple because it is. But it's so much more flavorful, interesting and satisfying than you'd expect.

A deeply delicious salsa that elevates fish, chicken, vegetable and egg dishes to almost authentic Mexican masterpieces. About $3 and 20 minutes for 20 ounces of greatness.

A big salad posing as a pizza. A huge mound of exceptionally fresh, dark red, flash-baked radicchio on a hot, fresh pizza crust. Delicious. Another example of pizza crust as the perfect platform for everything fresh and tasty. Dinner for two for $2.

A 2-minute exercise to strengthen the muscles you use to balance yourself and stay on your feet - while you stretch and strengthen your hamstrings. Pretty great for just two minutes.

Glaciers: Get ’em while they’re frozen

September 6, 2024
Dick Sandhaus

If you're in shape to hike around Glacier National Park, do it while the glaciers are still there. If you're not - get in shape. You've got a year or two before the massive glaciers will disappear, completely. Right now, click and gasp.

Watermelon-Peach Ceviche. So refreshing

September 5, 2024
Dick Sandhaus

Why is this "ceviche" and not grandma's fruit salad? It's the lime juice, ginger, herbs and, maybe, a little fresh jalapeño. Totally refreshing. Sweet and tart. Fragrant and sharp. Herbaceous and juicy. Be cool.
