The Marathon That Ate Montreal

July 3, 2015
Dick Sandhaus

Could be an all-day 26-mile walk. Or half that. Could be a 10,000-meter (6-mile) spin around Mont Royal. Whichever way you turn, this is a delicious way to see the sights while you burn way more calories than you consume.

Summer Choucroute Garnie

July 2, 2015
Dick Sandhaus

A really delicious dress-up party for hot dogs and cole slaw. Turns a weenie roast into an impressive-looking dinner that tastes like one you're going to make again and again. If you're an omnivore, you'll be thrilled by this deliciously rich but not heavy meal.

Slower Sunday: Virtual Aromatherapy

June 28, 2015

I wish you were here for the real thing, but this might be the next best thing. A little stimulus for your eyes to remind your brain and your nose. Press Play. Inhale.

Peach Ginger Shortcake. Yeah.

Dick Sandhaus

Nothing much better than a ripe peach, with the possible exception of Peach Ginger Shortcake. Make the ginger shortcake biscuit dough in 5 minutes flat. 10 minutes in a 450-degree oven later, you've got a killer dessert for $1.

BLT Pizza. Two Faves In One.

A BLT posing as a pizza. A huge mound of exceptionally fresh flash-baked greens on a hot, fresh pizza crust. Delicious. Another example of pizza crust as the perfect platform for almost everything fresh and tasty. Dinner for 2 for $2.

Cucumber Parmigiana

Really. No eggplant. No chicken. No veal. Stay with me here. This turns out to be a fantastic summer meal. The light, luscious, aromatic vegetarian dish of the month. Totally satisfying warm or cool.

Father’s Day Gifts

Just five days left to get this together. Be thoughtful. What do you think Dad would like most? Something to do? Something to eat? Something to use? Here are a few thoughts.

Slower Sunday: Patience

My tomato plants are determined to teach me a lesson. Better, Cheaper, Slower.

Lettuce Sandwich. Size matters.

June 11, 2015
Dick Sandhaus

You barely notice a leaf or two stuck between tomato and bacon. But pile the lettuce high, dress it up right and you've got a big, fat lettuce sandwich that's light, refreshing, crunchy and luscious.

Lettuce Play

June 9, 2015

Because it's time. Lettuce season. Give lettuce a chance to be much more than a substrate for salad dressing. Get the really fresh, good stuff at your Farmers Market. It's got more than enough flavor to be a great main ingredient. And you could lose 5 pounds this month.
