Slower Sunday: Top or Bottom?
I hope this isn't too deep a question for a Sunday morning, but ... is this a waterfall or a personality test? Press Play. See what you think.
Slower Sunday: Better than a Lava Lamp?
Might be. No electricity necessary. Nothing to plug in. Just non-stop, slow motion grooviness. Give it a half turn before your orange juice. Start the day with a good daydream.
Béarnaise: Too much is just right
Might be the richest sauce known to mankind. But only 45 calories per tablespoon, a tablespoon that goes a long, long Way. It'll make a steak blush. Or transform a thick slice of cauliflower into a spectacular dish.
Slower Sunday: Home on the Range
They have deer and antelope, but the roaming buffalo are the big attraction here in Yellowstone. They wander over to the side of the road. Hoards of tourists jam on the brakes, get the cameras and start snapping. What are they thinking?
Curried Squash and Apple Tart
Your eyes say pumpkin pie but your nose knows Better. Dozens of savory-sweet aromas. So many flavors. All your taste buds are working overtime. And that's before the incredibly buttery, flaky pie crust begins to melt in your mouth.
The Best and Smartest: Soffrito
Soffrito, the Italian sauce base you make with carrot, celery and onion, is One of The Best and Smartest Ways to Spend 30 Minutes in the Kitchen. Make a week's worth of this stuff and eat Better for a week.
Slower Sunday: Who’s lookin’ now?
Dozens of them. Doing nothing but floating and bobbing. And I'm thinking, wow, what a life.
Peach Upside Down Cake. You want it.
The last of this season's peaches could use a little heat to bring out the sweetness they're not getting from the sun on these shorter days. Here's a Way to make them Better. Takes about 10 minutes and $4 to prepare. Makes 8 -12 happy people.
Chard’s Best Friends
A casserole for chard lovers and chard deniers. Kathy had seconds because she loves the flavors of the accomplices. Tomatoes. Feta cheese. Bacon. But this really is a chard casserole. Lots of chard. A very little bit of everything else. Just enough to distract the deniers.
Escarole: Grown to Grill
A smoky, firm, crisp, bittersweet grilled salad to serve alongside or on top of a burger, steak, chicken or fish. Less than two minutes on a charcoal grill or in a smoking' hot cast iron pan. A day's worth of Vitamin A, a half-day of Vitamin C and a good dose of calcium and iron.
