White Pine Lake. Are we there yet?

5 miles out and 2,400' up the trail. It's beautiful. It's serene. Your mouth hangs wide open for a full 30 seconds. Transparent pale blue water with a red rock background. You burned 1,000 calories. Now find a big rock. Sit. Contemplate.

Way up in the Teton Range. One of those hikes that makes your day. Makes your vacation. Makes IMAX look like a postcard. Ten miles out and back. Six thousand feet up and down. 4,000 calories burned. Or take an early fork in the trail for a great walk around two pristine lakes.

But if this thing were 6 feet tall, it'd be fearsome. As it is, I'll take mine with ice cream. Press Play. Get to know your tropical fruit. Before you eat it. Have a good sundae.

Looks like a party the second it comes out of the oven or off the grill, so don't worry about the weather on party day. 15 minutes of preparation for this beautiful, aromatic, luscious flavor bomb of orange-yellow rice with chicken and chorizo sausage.

Higher ground, lower temperature

July 11, 2014. Down there where my feet hit the sidewalk, it's hot. Very hot. But up here in my mind, I'm making snowballs. I'm imagining the coolest hike in Hawai'i. Hawai'i?Sure, it's pretty balmy down at sea level. You…

American Pie: The 4th of July Pizza

Unfurl the red, white and blue. Toss your dough high. Pick your berries fresh. What's more American than pizza? You can start with burgers and dogs, but finish with this sweet, creamy fruit and cheese course on a very thin pizza crust.

If I lived on the Maine coast, I'd probably think every day was National Lobster Day. Have a roll with the waves and a happy Sunday.
