Slower Resolutions
Slower resolutions. Think about years. Think about a year ago. If you started then, you'd be there now. Wherever your there is. So take this next year to do something you'd really like to do. No rush.
Lucky Hangover Cure
In South Carolina, USA, they eat a lot of Hoppin' John next week. Rice and black-eyed peas. For some, it's the hangover cure. For others, it brings good luck for the New Year. In this version, South Carolina meets Italian cuisine. I feel lucky already.
Chips to Celebrate
'Tis the season for handheld snacks. Sometime between now and the end of New Year's Day, you're gonna eat some chips. So let's think about making Better Cheaper Chips. Chips that taste better. Chips that are actually healthy foods, not junk.
Slower Sunday: How many angels?
About 50. Plus 30 cherubs. Not on the head of a pin. No, they're all up a tree in New York this month. At the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Press Play. And have a beatific Sunday.
The Walk That Ate Bethlehem
It always sounded like such a long Way to walk, Jerusalem to Bethlehem. I imagined vast stretches of desert. No roads. No signs. Just the star. No Google Maps to tell them the trek's just seven miles. I could do that on Christmas. You, too.
A human trapped inside the body of …
... a human. We're still human after all these years. So your body still expects to you to get up and move like your ancestors did for tens of thousands of years. If you don't, it's the age of overweight, obesity, diabetes, heart disease. Here's how to avoid that age.
Pass the party, please
A cheese that puts the party in dinner party. A tradition that combines sitting around a fire with sharing and passing around good food. What more could you want?
Seven Vegetables: A Holiday Feast
Not just for vegetarians and vegans. For everyone looking for deeply delicious vegetable - and fruit - dishes to cook, share and eat. Dishes to serve "family style". On a day that's all about passing it around. Feast for less than $10 per person.
Don’t Fall Fall: Hands & knees, please
A 1-minute exercise that really makes you aware of the Way you use your core muscles to stabilize and balance yourself. To maintain your center of balance when your arms and legs are going their own ways. Spinal Balance is a great Way to strengthen and stretch all those muscles.
Slower Sunday: Early White Christmas
I'm on this really wonderful walk. Yeah, it's about 25 degrees out, the windchill's 16. The path is ... slippery. But the Park is spectacular.
