Free soup. A hot, aromatic, deeply delicious improvement for a cold winter day. It's all in the mushroom stock you make by simmering leftover mushroom stems in a pot of water for a light, clear stock with a super-concentrated fragrance and flavor of mushroom.

Great Balls of Exercise: Leg Extensions

January 16, 2023

Another bouncy exercise. But not too bouncy. The Ball is unstable. It rolls. Unless you exert force to keep it in place. Which means you engage many large and small muscles. Very time-efficient. Comfy and fun. And it burns more calories.

As far as you can go until you're here. I'd walk four miles to see this any time. And the other four miles to get back.

That's the question at breakfast every morning ... if you're in Nepal. If you're in North America this week, it's the answer. Easily habit-forming. Great for recharging your immune system. A very good habit at this time of year.

Sometimes I just think about New Orleans. The food, the music. Which gets me thinking about jambalaya. That great throw-it-together rice dish. Succulent, sweet & spicy shrimp, smoky sausage and deeply flavorful rice. A colorful comfort food for a dreary winter day.

Savory Basil & Tomato Pudding Cake

The flavors and aroma of a spectacular pasta. The feel of a soufflé. Huge, rich flavors to re-awaken every taste bud you've got. So light you won't feel like you're piling on after all the festive eating.

Here's another Way to amuse yourself while you exercise. With a Stability Ball. It's unstable. It rolls. Unless you exert force to keep it in place. Which means you engage many large and small muscles. Very time-efficient. And it burns more calories.

Why did we humans ever stop doing this? Until a few years a go, I never even tried it. I don't think my parents ever did. I'm really not sure if my grandparents did. C'mon, the day is young. Give it a try.
