Don’t wait for the fog to lift
I know it looks a little weird like this. But I'll take it. I think you should, too. Go take a walk. Don't worry about the weather. Happy Slower Sunday.
Burgers, Chips & Ice Cream: The Math
The most luscious homemade fresh fruit ice cream, made in the "soft-serve" style. Nothing but half-and-half and fresh berries. $2 per pint. 50 cents per 4-ounce serving. Just 101 calories per serving. A low Glycemic Load of less than 3. Get a spoon!
Hike to the Tip of the Iceberg
Make that icebergs, plural. Small ones. Too small for penguins, but otherwise it's a perfect hike. To a small glacial lake filled with miniature icebergs. And, honestly, it's hard to say if you're seeing just the tips. The water's much too cold to dive in for confirmation.
Potato Chips: Good or Evil?
Make a bowl of your own crisp, light, healthy ones for 20 cents. Or buy a bag of the commercial chips more responsible for long-term weight gain than any other food. Weight gain that leads to diabetes, heart disease and some cancers.
Zucchini Burgers: Vegetarians at a BBQ
What every zucchini wants to be. What every vegetarian at your BBQ wants to eat. Delicious. A great Way to enjoy abundant, cheap Summer squash at its seasonal flavor peak. A light crunchy crust protects the sweet flavors of Summer squash and aromatic fresh basil.
The Perfect Tuna Burger. Bacon optional.
Slightly charred and crisp outside. Juicy and pink inside. Feels just like a medium rare burger in your mouth. Tastes just like grilled tuna. With fresh garlic and ginger. And it holds together on a hot grill!
Labor of love
I know it's a holiday, but let's do the math. As I sit at my computer and write this, I'm burning about 40 calories every 30 minutes. Probably the same rate you're expending energy while you read and push your mouse or slide your finger. But now it gets more interesting ...
Breakfast Satisfaction: PBY & J
This might be the perfect breakfast for you. Smooth, tart yogurt. Sweet, ripe fruit. Luscious, maybe salty, could be smooth or chunky ... peanut butter. Everything you could want in a breakfast. Nothing you don't want.
I’ll have ice with that: Hike in Jasper
90 degrees in New York. I closed my eyes, strapped on my snowshoes and transported myself to the Athabasca Glacier. Wishing I was back on the Wilcox Pass Trail. I get the shivers just thinking about the view. Which really beats getting the sweats.
